"HONESTY IS A TOOL.

“4 STARS -

A well written, well acted character-driven legal drama, full of twists and surprising

revelations.

This clever play deserves a much bigger audience.”

- Everything Theatre

Following successful runs in London and Yorkshire, Righton Productions returns to The Hen and Chickens Theatre for a brand new legal drama from Thomas Carruthers, directed by Jazmine Sewsanker.

Arthur Carmichael and Mitchell Hargrieve run one of the most successful law practises in Philadelphia; however, when they take on the shocking case of Rita Lempkin, who openly admits that she murdered her real-estate mogul husband, Ralph, things grow tense. Complications grow further with the similarities the Lempkin case shares with that of Lucy Balsam, whom nine years ago Arthur got off when accused of murdering her own father. However, Lucy Balsam has been Lucy Carmichael now for some time. Also in the office is Talia Cooper, a young intern, who is being put at odds as a pawn in the endless power struggle shared by Arthur and Mitch.

Jared loves his call centre job where the clients all call up wondering the same thing ... Do they want to cheat on their partners?

It's a busy night, but there might be some calls even Jared might find difficult to deal with.

With a controversially neutral take on the subject, this darkly comic play attempts to dissect the reason (or reasons) why people choose to fulfil their darkest temptations.

Written & Performed by Joshua J. Jewkes

Featuring the Voice Talents of Ben Felton, Jessica Ivy, Sara Sioufi, Will Tusker, and Cerys Jones

Audience responses from past WIPs include:

"Funny & emotional. Well written and well acted"

"A brilliant one-man show ... so funny and full of heart!"

Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so we thought we’d give him a hand. Using his language, your audience suggestions and our overactive imaginations, we create a brand new Shakespeare play live on stage! Join ShakeItUp Theatre for an evening of improvised Bard-based Bedlam. Every show is a classic Shakespeare would have been proud to write…. (probably).

Newly pregnant Mara is racing against time to reach a make-or-break custody hearing for her eight-year-old daughter when she becomes trapped in the basement of an office building.

As the consequences unfold, Mara must confront the dark truth she’s been avoiding - only then will she be set free.
