Sorry, Members Only

13 - 17 January


Behind the door of a prestigious London members' club, ‘Sorry, Members Only’ follows Rob, an out-of-work actor turned reluctant concierge, who meets an up and coming film director that needs a place to hide out for the evening.


With help from Suzi, his loyal colleague navigating her own climb up the hospitality ladder, Rob takes a chance and checks the director into a suite already assigned to a visiting VIP. As the pair tiptoe around management, sneak through after-hours parties, and try to charm the director into offering Rob a chance at stardom, Suzi juggles mounting chaos behind the scenes. A fast-paced farce, this play dives into ambition, vanity, and exploring the absurd lengths people go to chase success and be seen


Small Extinctions

18 January


It's Christmas Day. The owner of a Southend, London restaurant and her ex- the head chef, find themselves accidentally trapped in the walk-in freezer during the busiest service of the year. Temperatures drop. Tensions rise. And the two are forced to confront the losses that froze their relationship.

This is a brand new one act play written by Ash Felkner, tonally in the vein of Bear (Christopher Storer) and Lungs (Duncan Macmillan). This premiere performance stars Dominic Farrow (Hamlet- The National Theatre, 2025) as Geoffrey, and Ash Felkner (The Viewing, 2026) as Kathryn. Directed by Nance Turner (Proforca Theatre & The Northern Spirit Theatre Company)



Daughter

3 - 7 February


Here is a father who loves his daughter. You can tell from the way he held her when she was born after a difficult delivery; you can tell from the way he dances with her to her favourite songs; you can tell from the way he will do anything to protect her.
He's not going to apologise for every other little thing he's ever done. Who knows, you might have done them too…

Balancing humour and horror, Daughter is a darkly satirical monologue about fatherhood, love, and toxic masculinity. Told with unsettling charm, this story interrogates questions of culpability and complicity in our society. It examines the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we condone and encourage misogyny.

Welcome to Daughter: a show that exposes the hypocrisies and complexities of the human experience.



Everything and Nothing

10 - 14 February


Do you believe in love at first sight? Oscar doesn't. Alex wants to. Then, they meet at a mutual friend's wedding and time stands still, except Oscar has a girlfriend.

When they say goodbye and go back to their lives, Alex and Oscar struggle with the feeling the day left inside them. As time goes on, they begin to wonder if it was all in their heads. Years later, they meet again and the natural order feels like it has been restored. Has time moved them on or will they pick up where they left off?



EXPÖSED

17 - 21 February


Fashion designer extraordinaire "Ze Emperor" is on a ruthless rise to the top of Berlin’s fashion scene, but when his latest collection falls flat, he is in desperate need of something new. Rumours of a cutting-edge fabric, spearheaded by an innovative Parisian duo, may be just what Ze Emperor needs to save his reputation and claw his way back to global fashion domination!

Featuring larger-than-life characters, a feel-good soundtrack and lots of silly jokes, Baby Lamb Productions brings you a tongue-in-cheek adaptation of The Emperor’s New Clothes, transplanted to the dog-eat-dog world of 21st century high fashion.

Following sell-out runs at the Bread & Roses Theatre and The Canal Cafe Theatre, and after becoming OFFIE-finalists in 2023, Baby Lamb Productions is thrilled to bring EXPÖSED to new audiences.



The Red Prince

24 - 28 February


Craig Kitman, a young MP - elected in 2024 as part of Labour’s “loveless landslide” - sits alone in the middle of the night.
Over the course of an hour, he wonders how an idealistic 18-year-old ended up a burnt out, impotent has-been at 39. 
It all seemed so promising. Until it wasn’t. Unloved, unfulfilled and cruising towards unemployment, Craig is at a crossroads. Carry on as he is (achieving nothing)? Ditch it all and start again (time to set up that TikTok account)? Or try to pull something positive from the wreckage? 
The Red Prince transcends party politics to explore what happens when public service becomes personal destruction.
