PICK OF THE MONTH:

...And If The Surface Tension Breaks

11 February - 1 Mar


Cheer up. It’s not the end of the world. Is it? 

In the split second before a rare (and frankly inconvenient) cosmic event tears Planet Earth to atoms, the last human alive experiences one final moment of consciousness. A one-way rollercoaster ride to the edge of the apocalypse as life, death and the universe collide one final time…

As the atmosphere evaporates, the oceans boil and the world burns, you’re invited to join us to wave goodbye to the past, live in the moment, and celebrate a future that will never come to pass, as one man hurtles from the Last Gasp to the Big Bang and back again. 

And you’ll never guess what happened next...




The End of The World Show

23 and 24 February

Proforca Theatre Company present "The End of The World Show" from The Side Hustle.

Following on from our successful "Side Hustle Scratch" in October 2024, our next new writing showcase brings you 12 new pieces of writing inspired by the end of days and is the perfect companion piece to our main house production of "And If The Surface Tension Breaks"



WHALE

3 and 4 March

Sam’s afraid of whales.   Absolutely terrified of them. But there's something that scares him even more... WHALE is a multimedia, alternative comedy special that combines clowning, stand-up, and haiku poetry to explore how far we will go to avoid being honest about our feelings. Dressed as a lifeguard, and saying only the words written on randomly organised flashcards, Sam is doing everything he can to distract both himself and us from a dark secret. This shapeshifting solo show doesn't stop for sixty minutes, but how long can Sam keep up this act?



2nd Quarter Productions present:

Pressure

6 - 8 March
Four plays. Three nights. One winner.  Emerging theatre-makers are grouped into four teams and handed the same theme, budget, and rehearsal time. The result? Four original works battling for your attention—and your vote.  At the end of the night, the audience crowns the champion. The victors take home the coveted Golden Skull and drink on the house. If you’re not there, you’ll only hear about it. And where’s the fun in that? 
Be there. Decide the winner. Feel the PRESSURE.


The Space Between The Sheets

11 - 15 March


What does it take to truly connect with someone you've just met?

What begins as a one-night stand transforms into a journey of self-discovery. The Space Between The Sheets delves into the essence of genuine connection, challenging what is truly intimate and what is merely a learned game.

After relocating to the UK in search of a bigger and brighter future for her acting career, Robin meets a writer, Aaron, on a night out who could change her world forever. As they navigate their cultural differences, personal experiences, they’re forced to ask: is this a love story, or just a really complicated hookup?

As the night unfolds, they confront the complexities of young love and the search for true intimacy, where every embrace reveals a new truth— and even the darkest secrets are unveiled in the most sacred of places.



After Agincourt

25 March - 5 April


After Agincourt centres on the Shakespearean character, Pistol: bitter, drunk and alone in the Boar’s Head Tavern, seven years after the battle of Agincourt. In gritty modern vernacular, he suffers through a brutal recollection of the before, during and aftermath of the battles that took place at Harfleur and Agincourt in 1415. Simultaneously, he obliterates the familiar and heroic image of Henry V who – as the story goes – courageously rallied his troops to fame and glory.
