BUSTER | 30 Apr, 7:30pm

On 4th October 1895, a legend was born.
Eighteen months later, he fell down a staircase...

In this thrilling re-imagining of Buster Keaton’s life, discover the story of the silent film legend and step into the surreal and whimsical world of BUSTER. This innovative production blends fact and fiction, using physical theatre, mime, and cinematic magic in a heartfelt tribute to Keaton’s timeless legacy, exploring themes of creativity, obsession, and the relentless pursuit of artistic dreams.

THE SKRIKER
27 Feb - 1 Mar

In a broken world, two girls meet an extraordinary creature. The Skriker is a shapeshifter and death portent. She can be an old woman, a child, a young man. She is a faerie come from the Underworld to pursue and entrap them, through time and space, through this world and her own.

An extraordinary collision of ancient fairytale and fractured urban England, Caryl Churchill’s play The Skriker was originally produced at the National Theatre, London, in 1994.

(This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.)

13-15 Mar

An identical, terrifying dream haunts Londoners in the midst of economic gloom and ineffective protest. Whilst the prime minister considers a preventative war, a young man returns home with a vision for the future.

Coincidences, omens and visions collide with political reality in this epic play by the award-winning Mike Bartlett. Set in a dark and magical landscape, it depicts a London both familiar and strange: a London staring into the void.
