Thank you so much to our three brilliant trainees .eve_, .lamb03 and for all their amazing work on Party Season!

It’s been wonderful to see them grow from their time with us as students on the Acting and Devised Theatre BA to working on this professional production. They’ve jumped into the process so naturally and brought real rigour, energy and creativity to each of their roles. We honestly can’t thank them enough!

We hope this experience gives them plenty to take into their own theatre-making and we look forward to seeing what they all get up to in the future! ✨

One thing coming up soon...

Along with other ADT graduates, their company , will be heading to the Edinburgh Fringe with their show Codetta. As we know all too well, it’s a big feat taking an ensemble show to Edinburgh - and it’s a lot harder than it was 15 years ago. The company have set up crowdfunder in case you feel able to support. We wish them all the luck for their run! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-codetta-fringe

Happy birthday us! It's been 15 years since our first work in progress performance at ! We've made 22 shows since then and go into rehearsals on Monday for our 23rd, Party Season.

We plan to have a BIG PARTY when we tour to Bristol this Spring and we'd love you to join us to celebrate!

Here's to the next 15 years! 🤪

Xander is back in town, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other...

Party Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. Whatever you do, don’t join the WhatsApp group.

Royal & Derngate, Northampton | 3 - 11 April

🎄✨ Merry Christmas everyone! ✨🎄

Thanks to all who came along to a show or supported us in some way this year. It’s hugely appreciated 💖

We had a great 2025!

* Toured our raucous (and VERY pink) Princess Smartypants all around the UK
* Celebrated the graduation of our very first BA cohort
* The Seekers dropped a brand new podcast ep + toured The Time Seekers
* Shared first sneak peeks of our next show Party Season
* And Mog got OUT and ABOUT from the Southbank Centre to a super festive Mog’s Christmas at the Royal & Derngate (playing till 31 Dec!)

If you haven’t quite finished your Christmas shopping and are looking for a last minute present you don’t have to wrap, why not give the gift of live theatre? Party Season tickets are available via the link in our bio.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

Love TWE 🎭✨
