The New Rep Theatre Presents:
Tues 3rd - Sat 7th June
Join The New Rep Theatre for a powerful staging of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Long Day’s Journey Into Night — a searing, semi-autobiographical portrait of a family caught in the undertow of love, addiction, resentment, and fragile hope.
Set over the course of a single day in the Tyrone family’s seaside Connecticut home, this haunting and deeply human play explores the inescapable grip of the past and the desperate search for connection amidst unraveling truths.
Directed with raw intimacy and emotional clarity, this production brings fresh urgency to one of America’s greatest theatrical works — a must-see for longtime theater lovers and newcomers alike.
Fruitcake Productions Presents:
Wed 11th - Thurs 12th June
The Speech is a slightly absurdist dialogue and movement based show that follows the inner world of a sharp but socially awkward teenager navigating the chaos of adolescence. Working through crushes, friends. At the heart of the piece is her sudden and all consuming crush, an intense, confusing, and at times thrilling experience that quickly spirals into something more.
Through movement, absurdist dialogue and charm you will be transported to your teen years full of confusion, excitement, and vulnerability. Join us to explore the inner workings of a clever but uneasy teenager. As she stumbles through the emotional noise of youth, a sudden crush takes hold. What starts as something light and exciting quickly becomes more intense, raising questions she isn’t ready to face.
The show shifts between awkward real-life moments and strange inner fantasies, capturing the confusion of wanting something that might not feel right. As boundaries blur and tension builds, she is left trying to understand what’s happening and what it means to take control.
Strange Effect Productions Presents:
Tues 20th - Thurs 22nd May
26-year-old spoken-word artist, Rene, is navigating the aftermath of her first queer relationship, which ended when her ex, who was grappling with her own closeted identity, failed to fully embrace queerness and in turn, their connection. Now single, Rene embarks on a new chapter of self-discovery, approaching dating with a renewed perspective. She begins to unravel the question of who she truly is and what she wants in a partner. This comedy explores the complexities of coming out, first relationships, lost love, setting boundaries and choosing peace over persistence.
Elegy Theatre Presents:
by Serena Berman
Tues 17th - Sat 21st June
“It’s like when I met you
I got split into two different people”
Sadie and Will are thrilled that their brief experiment with an open relationship has been a success. They worked out rules, discussed possibilities – they even wrote a manifesto.
But soon, a stranger comes to Sadie with a disturbing alternate history, forcing her to choose between her identity as a woman and her desire to trust her partner.
In its UK premiere, Serena Berman's The Experiment explores the grey areas of harm, intent, and the failure of language to bridge the gap between the two.

Troupe 22 Presents:
Dahling You Were Marvellous & Purgatory
Two comedies by Steven Berkoff
Wed 6th - Sat 9th August
Dahling You Were Marvellous
By Steven Berkoff
Synopsis:
Set in a fashionable London restaurant after a theatre performance, this high-energy, highly physical comedy dives headfirst into the egos and insecurities of the performing arts world. Through caricatured dialogue and exaggerated physicality, we meet actors, directors, critics, and producers—each full of self-importance and shallow praise, all vying for attention and recognition. The play unravels in clusters of conversation around various tables, showcasing the absurdity and vanity of showbiz culture. With 25+ roles and a dynamic ensemble, the play captures the hilarious superficiality and chaos behind the glamour.
