SUMMARY:Mrs Warren's Profession
DESCRIPTION:Why book? We loved Imelda in Oedipus last year. A phenomenal stage actress who will be on stage with her daughter Bessie Carter. \nDirected by Dominic Cooke (Clybourne Park at the Royal Court\, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Follies at the NT): \n“This famously controversial play was banned after publication by the Lord Chamberlain\, and promises an evening of classic entertainment from the playwright behind Pygmalion and Man and Superman. The show follows modern-minded young woman Vivie Warren\, who wants to become a lawyer. But her future is upended by the arrival of her estranged mother\, who has a batch of suitors in tow! Soon\, revelations about the source of Mrs Warren’s wealth – and the money that afforded Vivie so much opportunity – are aired\, but can Vivie begin to understand what her mother sacrificed to secure her family’s future?”

SUMMARY:The Gang of Three
DESCRIPTION:Why book?  Experience new work written by leading play-writing duo Robert Khan and Tom Slinky who wrote Brexit\, which enjoyed 2 sell0out runs. \n“In 1976\, Harold Wilson announces his shock resignation as Prime Minister\, and the Labour government has a sudden power vacuum.  Feuding cabinet giants – Roy Jenkins\, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland – meet to discuss who should succeed him.  Ostensibly friends\, contemporaries at Oxford and embarking on their historic quest to make the Labour Party Britains natural party of government\, The Gang of Three tells the story of how their fractured friendships and bitter rivalries came to destroy their mutual goal\, instead of ushering in eighteen years of Tory rule.”

SUMMARY:Tachwedd
DESCRIPTION:Four people. 2000 years. The feeling of being hunted. \nWhy book?  Support the amazing creative team at Theatre 503 who champion new and under-represented voices.  Tachwedd features an entirely Welsh cast in the play’s London premier\, in an aim to prove the “real wealth of talent” in Wales. Meet for a chat with the author at 6:45pm. \nJoin us at 6:45pm for a chat with the author of the play! \nSet in Bethesda\, North Wales\, Tachwedd weaves a powerful narrative of mythology\, history\, and survival across four distinct eras: 1742\, 1902\, 1975\, and the present day. Performed by a stellar Welsh cast\, this play explores the weight of inheritance\, the legacy of exploitation\, and the haunted land we leave behind. \nIn the same square mile\, four individuals across centuries grapple with their ties to place—whether through loyalty\, fear\, or the painful choice to escape. From royal hunts and religious fervour to a town ravaged by industrial decline\, each era reveals how land and identity are inextricably linked. The land they once called home becomes a battleground for survival\, burdened by violence and the choices of their ancestors. \nAs Bethesda reels from mass layoffs and the ground beneath them fractures\, Tachwedd asks what it means to possess land—and what happens when that land no longer feels like yours. As four generations reel from decisions across time\, Tachwedd becomes a story of survival\, of losing and reclaiming the place that defines you. Join us for an unforgettable journey into a fractured landscape where past and present collide\, and legacies endure. \n

SUMMARY:Giselle
DESCRIPTION:The iconic ballet\, reimagined. \n\nFollowing acclaimed performances around the world\, and sold-out shows in Manchester and Bristol in 2023\, Akram Khan’s Giselle returns to Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London for the first time in five years. \nAs the curtain rises\, dancers in shadow push against a forbidding wall. From that moment on\, this ground-breaking production stuns with powerful images. \nMesmerising choreography\, atmospheric lighting by Mark Henderson and a towering set by Academy Award-winner Tim Yip conjure up a condemned factory and the vengeful ghosts that appear in its shadows. \nThe ominous score by Vincenzo Lamagna – adapted from the original by Adolphe Adam and performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic – intensifies the story’s emotional impact. \nSee the greatest romantic ballet and its story of love\, betrayal\, and redemption\, boldly reimagined. \nEmail us if you would like tickets.

SUMMARY:Nachtland
DESCRIPTION:Do you want this hanging over your kitchen table to remind you of your Daddy? \nModern day Germany.  Nicola and Phillipp argue as they clear out their late father’s house.  When they find an old painting stashed in the attic\, things get savage. \nThe painting is a quaint street scene from 1920s Vienna; the work of a failed artist who abandoned his original vocation for Nazism.  Nicola wants to sell it.  Phillipp wants to keep it.  Phillip’s wife Judith wants to burn it. \nNachtland* is a mordant satire about marriage\, legacy\, the rise of the new right\, and the terrible impulses buried deep.  The UK premiere is directed by 2023 Tony Award-winner Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt).  Marius von Mayenburg is one of Germany’s foremost playwrights.  His plays include Fireface\, Plastic and The Ugly One. \n*Nachtland is an invented German word.  It suggests a place of eternal darkness..
