God, The Devil and Me
6 - 10 January
“Gabe is a perfectly average teenager, with perfectly average problems… except he is best friends with god and the devil. Gabe will have to navigate teenage life all while keeping two omnipotent beings in tow. GCSE stress… if only!”
Welcome, to the weird and wonderful world of God, the devil and me, a one hour 10 minute surreal Brechtian comedy about a strange friendship that feels too good to be true and blurs the lines of “good” or “bad.” Oh, also… the protagonist has psychosis. Have you ever wondered what having two omnipotent beings on your shoulder might feel like? Then do we have the show for you. The show has creativity and humour to spare.
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.
