🌊 TWELFTH NIGHT (or, What You Will)

Cast ashore by fate; swept away by love...

Dearest gentle reader,

Bridgerton meets the Bard in a Regency-inspired whirl of scandal, mistaken identity and pure theatrical joy. In a sparkling modern verse translation by Alison Carey, this large-cast production is a larger-than-life celebration of love for all ages.

📍 Barnes Park, Sunderland — 23–26 July
📍 Assembly Rooms, Newcastle — 29–30 July
📍 Durham Fringe Festival, Palace Green — 31 July–2 August

---

🏥 KING LEAR

What does it mean to care for someone who is disappearing?

A hard-hitting reimagining set inside a contemporary social care system. In Marcus Gardley's modern verse translation, this urgent, deeply human production asks who gets to make decisions when capacity fades — and what dignity really looks like.

📍 Southpaw Studio, Sheepfolds Stables, Sunderland — 27–30 August
