Synopsis

Christopher Hampton’s translation of Florian Zeller’s masterpiece provides an intimate glimpse into the disorienting world of André, an elderly man grappling with dementia. Set in his Paris apartment, the play artfully blurs the lines between reality and confusion, inviting us to experience the world through André’s eyes. The play is a powerful exploration of the impact of dementia on identity and relationships, taking a profound and sometimes disconcerting journey into the human mind’s fragility.

Synopsis

This play tells of the loves, fears and joys of a Newcastle family during World War Two.

Helen is stoical, self-effacing and walks with a limp; her grandfather Andie recruits mourners to attend the burial of his dog; her devout Catholic mother frets about the local priest’s health; her father serenades an unwilling audience with popular songs; and younger sister Joyce dithers over a marriage proposal.
They all try their best to get on with their lives while the bombs fall around them.

Synopsis

“Nobody forgives you, Veronica! Not even angels! Not even Jesus!”
Is Susan actually Susan, a self-possessed college student in 1973? Or is she Veronica, a conflicted young lady of 1935, desperately BELIEVING herself to be a later Susan?
What begins as a seeming mission of mercy ends up a terrifying crisis of self-doubt amongst malevolent forces-with the audience no less certain of Veronica/Susan’s identity than she is.
Be warned: when you enter Veronica’s Room you will find yourself trapped in someone else’s nightmare!
Veronica’s Room is an exhilarating thriller by Ira Levin, author of Deathtrap and Rosemary’s Baby….and it is sure to send a chill right up your spine!

Synopsis

Brian Friel’s Olivier Award-winning play is an astonishing evocation of a family’s world on the brink of change.

It’s harvest time in County Donegal, Ireland, 1936.

Outside the village of Ballybeg, the five Mundy sisters battle poverty to raise seven-year-old Michael and care for their brother, ‘Uncle’ Jack.

During the Festival of Lughnasa, Pagan and Christian meet and collide. The sisters fight each other, love each other, dance, yearn and survive.

Synopsis

The play is about two sets of parents; the son of one couple has hurt the son of the other couple at a public park.

The parents meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish and the meeting devolves into chaos.

A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime?

Boys will be boys, but the adults are usually worse – much worse.

Synopsis

On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming, savagely beaten and left to die in an act of brutality and hate that shocked the nation. Matthew Shepard’s death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of the town, the event was deeply personal. In the aftermath, Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theatre Project went to Laramie and conducted more than 200 interviews with its citizens. From the transcripts, the playwrights constructed an extraordinary chronicle of life in the town after the murder. The result is an American modern classic that is one of the most performed theatre pieces in the country.
