Long After the Labyrinth

Crete 1944. A young girl hides in the hollow of an ancient olive tree, watching helplessly, as her family are rounded up and loaded onto trucks. A horned shadow looms and she finds herself falling… falling…

This epic new play is inspired by the Minotaur and the true tale of the lost Jews of Crete. A gripping narrative told via text, movement and shadow-play, we follow the life of Rena Depas on her labyrinthine quest to find peace in the wake of violence.

For this production, NMT Automatics have brought together a team of creatives, who have worked with some of the most internationally renowned contemporary theatre companies, including: 1927, Gecko, Theatre Re, Ephemeral Ensemble, and Les Enfants Terribles.

BASILITRIX

11 - 15 Nov
A girl. A lost sister. A monster. A duel. And Rats – the only ones who remember. And they finally squeak up.

A teenage girl descends into the dungeons beneath Warsaw's Old Town to find her sister and face a petrifying monster. Above ground, her mother fights a different battle: bringing a divided community together before fear tears it apart. Both race against time to save their family and their city.

Come join the Rat Squad – sharp-eyed storytellers with impeccable timing, questionable manners and rock-solid jokes. Through their commentary, watch rumours spread, stories shift, and fear hardens into history.

Basilitrix reimagines the age-old legend of the basilisk through a contemporary, feminist lens. It is a story about sisterhood, courage, curiosity and the search for truth, asking what happens when we stop believing stories built on fear and start listening to the voices they silence.

Blending rock and jazz with a Slavic folk twist, the musical creates a darkly playful world where sharp humour, haunting unease, and unexpected tenderness intertwine.

"What starts as a simple story unfolds into something intricate, touching, and profoundly human."
Audience member

"I was completely absorbed, cheering for the protagonist - only to be left questioning my own prejudices against the ‘monster’"

Brewtopia
From the trilogy : Three Beautifully Misguided Attempts at Joy
He didn't need saving. He needed tea.

Brewtopia is an intimate two-hander fusing absurdist tradition with emotional realism to ask: how much of our happiness lives in the smallest, most ordinary things?

On the streets of London, Arjun, a homeless tea connoisseur, has built his world around one simple daily pleasure: brewing the perfect cup of tea. With every carefully measured leaf and curl of steam, a park bench becomes a throne, steam becomes incense, and he is transformed into a maharaja in a palace of jasmine air. For Arjun, brewing tea is more than habit. It is ritual - a small, everyday act that gives him joy, meaning and something to look forward to.

Enter Claire, a diligent outreach worker determined to find him a more secure life. Gradually, Arjun's circumstances change. But when the simple ritual that has sustained him is disrupted, something far greater than a cup of tea is lost.

Brewtopia, the second play in the Emotional Absurdia trilogy, is a bittersweet meditation on the small pleasures and everyday rituals that quietly keep us going, and what happens when something seemingly insignificant, but precious enough to make life joyful, suddenly disappears.

Reviews for previous works include:

Pupperella
A Dog Pantomime
Presented by and in support of ALL DOGS MATTER

Join us for our barking-mad, brand-new panto ‘Pupperella’. Featuring a cast of humans and dogs! Come and see if Pupperella finds her forever home.

This is a fun-filled re-telling of Cinderella, with Pupperella herself taking centre-stage alongside her canine co-stars. From fairy-tale magic to four-legged mischief, the production promises to be a pantomime with a difference. One where the dogs are helping to steal the show!

The production also reflects All Dogs Matter’s belief that dogs are part of our families and communities, and that every dog deserves a safe, happy home.

Pupperella is a wonderful way to bring people together to celebrate dogs while doing something genuinely important for those dogs that don’t yet have a family to call their own. We can’t wait to see our wonderful canine performers sharing the stage with some brilliant actors and hopefully stealing a few scenes along the way!

A Murder is Announced
An Amateur Production from Garden Suburb Theatre

It’s Friday 13th and a notice in the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette states the time and place when a murder is to occur. Curiosity overcomes trepidation and the villagers gather to await the hour…

What follows is a classic and ingenious Christie puzzle involving a cast of entertaining characters and two sleuths – Inspector Craddock of the county police and, somewhat to his frustration, Miss Jane Marple, who always manages to be one step ahead on the path to solving the mystery.

SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM
A Musical Entertainment

In 1976, at what turned out to be the midpoint of his life, a revue premiered in London celebrating Stephen Sondheim's already extraordinary body of work. Fifty years later, SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM returns to swing the spotlight onto the first half of a career that changed what a musical could be.

With an array of hits and rarities from COMPANY, FOLLIES, WEST SIDE STORY, and more, this fast-paced revue, presented by a quartet of all-singing, all-dancing, all-piano-playing performers, invites you to sit side by side (by side) as Sondheim becomes Sondheim.
