The Wolf of Poyais: Featuring Joz Norris
Featuring Joz Norris (Comedians’ Choice Award Winner)
21st - 25th October 2025
Confidence, Charisma, Complete Nonsense
Are you tired of struggling along with everyone else? Have you always secretly known you were meant to be rich? Are you ready to succeed?
For one week only, we are proud to present this once in a lifetime event that will teach you to unleash the greatness within you and achieve the success you deserve, presented by the hero of the Peninsular War, hero of the Venezuelan Revolution, Liberator of Florida and Cazique of Poyais, the one and only Sir Gregor MacGregor!
In 1820 Gregor MacGregor returned to London from fighting in the Spanish American Wars of Independence to announce he had been made ‘Cazique’ of a new nation, Poyais. A country that did not exist, but that didn’t stop him from selling it!
Elizabeth Holmes meets Flashman, The Wolf of Poyais is a dark comedy telling the true story of a swashbuckling confidence trickster and the Poyais scheme that made him (in)famous.
Audience Responses:
★★★★★ - “Witty, charming, dark and daring! Bravo!”
★★★★★ - “Amazing! One of the funniest and most original plays I’ve ever seen!”
★★★★★ - “Very happy, cried once, laughed, moving times.”

4th - 15th November 2025
Set in a dark waterfront bar of the same name, The Sea Horse is a tender yet brutally honest love story between two hardened outsiders: Gertrude, the tough, guarded bar owner, and Harry, a weathered seaman with a new dream. Their relationship, which has been purely physical so far, is tested when Harry returns from sea with a vision of a shared future and a proposal of marriage. As Harry attempts to break through Gertrude's carefully constructed emotional walls, the play becomes a raw and compelling courtship ritual, filled with fighting,
humour, and the painful revelation of long-held secrets. It is a story about vulnerability, the courage it takes to trust, and the profound human need for connection.
First performed in 1974, the play's themes about the transformative power of love remain as poignant today as they were then. In a world that can feel increasingly disconnected, The Sea Horse is a timeless and deeply human exploration of two people navigating the stormy waters of their past to find a safe harbour together.
Critically-acclaimed and award-winning Director Mandi Riggi is at the helm, bringing this revival of the beloved 1974 classic to a London audience. The Sea Horse promises to be a poignant, heartfelt and earnest night out for London theatre-goers.
