present:
SONS WITHOUT FATHERS
adapted from Anton Chekhov’s "Platonov," and directed
by Helena Kaut-Howson
A Study of Sex, Vodka and Shattered Dreams: love and loyalty collide in Helena
Kaut-Howson’s dazzling new play, a modern version of Chekhov’s rarely performed
early work, Platonov.
Village school teacher Platonov is a man who is loved by women. Despite his best
intentions, he is drawn into a series of extra-marital affairs that all hold the
promise of escape from the provincial Russian reality where he and his circle of
friends are trapped. Consumed by bitterness and disappointment, they attempt to
fill their lives with sex and vodka, blaming their fathers for the mess they’ve
been left in.
At once brilliantly comic, brutal and tragic, Sons Without Fathers, shines a
light on this group of disaffected thirty-somethings – too old to move with the
times, and too young to let go of their dreams.
Designed by Iona McLeish
Lighting by Alex Wardle

Tuesday 14th May until Saturday 1st June 2013
China Plate presents Caroline Horton and Company:
MESS
by Caroline Horton
devised by The Company
directed by Alex Swift
A funny, moving new play with songs, based on Caroline’s experiences of
anorexia.
Based on her own experiences of anorexia nervosa this funny and poignant play
with songs is a three hander about obsession, despair and finally about letting
go, offering an authentic insight that challenges popular misconceptions about
dealing with and recovering from the condition. Mess was developed with the help
of experts from King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, one of the
leaders in eating disorder research, and with funding from a Wellcome Trust Arts
Award.
Josephine, Boris and Sistahl are catapulted from the depths of despair and
bafflement to the heights of joy and hope and back again as they struggle to
tell the story of Josephine’s anorexia and recovery. Mess is wickedly funny and
deeply moving, providing a window into an internal world of addiction and
control, which is finally rejected for the messy, chaotic and rich world
outside.
Professor Ulrike Schmidt (King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry) said:
“Caroline Horton and her team have achieved the impossible: Mess is a highly
engaging, incredibly moving, and above all wonderfully funny play about one
young woman’s recovery from anorexia. Importantly, the laughter is never at the
expense of the person with anorexia. Mess gives an immensely positive, hopeful
message to people with this devastating condition, borne out of real
understanding of the loneliness, despair and obsessiveness of the disorder.”

2013 Little Soldier Productions present:
THE KNIGHT OF THE SORROWFUL FIGURE
written and adapted by Tiffany Wood
directed by Simon Day (in collaboration with Aitor Basauri)
Would Cervantes have let this happen?
Inspired by the wanderings of the famous Don Quixote, two Spaniards and an
Englishman re-enact the most influential work of literature from the Spanish
Golden Age. It’s an epic task – which might have been easier if they’d actually
read the book…
Little Soldier Productions presents an imaginative and provocative adventure of
immense proportions, developed following research and development at the Blue
Elephant.
Incorporating clowning and physical comedy, The Figure of the Sorrowful Knight
was devised under the direction of Simon Day (The Plasticine Men) and Aitor
Basauri (Spymonkey). Writer Tiffany Wood worked with the performers to create an
adaptation that captures the collaboration and playfulness out of which the
piece was born - whilst staying somewhat faithful to Cervantes.
As in their other shows, Pakita: Stimulating, Bitter and Necessary and You and
Me, Little Soldier Productions aims to promote cross-cultural collaborations and
create material that finds humour even in tragedy.
Post-show discussion: Thursday 23 May 2013.

Press Night: Thursday 13th June 2013 Tattooed Potato
present: THE NIGHTMARE DREAMER
directed by John Michael MacDonald
What happens when we give away our darkness?
Suppose you had nightmares. Terrible nightmares. Every night. Night after night.
Exhausted and distraught, where could you turn for rest and relief?
Suppose there were someone who could dream your nightmares for you, so you could
have deep sleep and sweet dreams. That someone is the Nightmare Dreamer.
Tattooed Potato presents a piece of devised physical theatre exploring the
internal places we would rather not visit. Those who use the Nightmare Dreamer’s
help get a good night’s sleep, but their waking lives change in ways they hadn’t
imagined.
The Nightmare Dreamer is Tattooed Potato’s first London production, re-imagined
and re-worked following a run in Washington in 2012 where it created “vivid ways
into the netherworld of distressed slumber” (The Washington Post).Post-show

SEDOS SUMMER FESTIVAL 2013
A three-week season at the Bridewell Theatre.
Programme:

10th until 14th July 2013: Enron by Lucy Prebble. In a timely turn
of events as recession grips the world, Sedos — the acclaimed amateur theatre
company based in the City of London and started by members of the stock exchange
have a unique selling point for this show — which is about one of the most
infamous financial scandals of the past 20 years. Loud and rambunctious,
emotional and a bit bizarre in places . Jeff Skilling’s journey to the top and
dramatic fall is full of twists and turns.

16th until 20th July 2013: Autobahn, by Neil LaBute. A collection
of plays that, in true LaBute style, deal with some hardhitting subject matter
with characteristically dark humour, presenting characters that audience members
can simultaneously empathise with and be repulsed by. This is a production that
revels in its ambiguity, with the lines blurred between good and bad, hero and
villain, aggressor and victim. Each of the seven plays contains only two
characters, and in four of them only one person speaks – this was evidently an
attractive challenge for the City’s acting community, with not only the
opportunity to take on an entire monologue, but also the chance to enhance the
subtext, or even drive the whole piece, without saying a word.

23rd until 27th July 2013: A Man of No Importance, book by
Terrence McNally; music by Stephen Flaherty; lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. Set in
Dublin in 1964, bus conductor and Oscar Wilde fan Alfie has ambitions to stage
Salome, despite the objections at St Imelda’s, where his amateur theatre group
is based. When a newcomer to town, Adele, joins his passengers, he realises he
has the right person for the title role and assembles his cast. Meanwhile
Alfie’s sister Lily mistakes his interest in Adele as romantic — she longs to
have him off her hands so she can marry. Little does Lily realise that Alfie’s
love “dare not speak its name” and the object of his affections is bus driver
Robbie. As opening night draws near, secrets spill out which threaten to shake
this community to its core. But camaraderie and the redeeming power of theatre
offer a thread of hope in this story of friendship, forbidden love and finding
our place in the world.
This is the second time Sedos has produced a Summer Festival, one of a series
of recent initiatives designed to cement and further the ties the society has
with the Bridewell Theatre and St Bride’s Institute.

Tuesday 4th until Saturday 8th June 2013
The Tower Theatre Company presents:
THE DOCTOR'S DILEMMA
by George Bernard Shaw
directed by Chris Holmes
Harley Street doctor Sir Colenso Ridgeon has developed a revolutionary
tuberculosis treatment. The dilemma however is that while this treatment remains
experimental he has resources for only ten patients.
The arrival of the striking and persuasive Jennifer Dubedat in his consulting
rooms, desperate to save the life of her brilliant artist husband, nevertheless
prompts Ridgeon to invite the young couple to a dinner where he and his
colleagues may assess the merits of the case.
Beguiled by the charismatic Dubedat and his lovely wife, they concur that his is
a life worth saving. Yet no sooner are the medics congratulating themselves in
their decision, than they discover that Dubedat is an amoral scoundrel.
Meanwhile, their impoverished colleague Blenkinsop, the most worthy but least
distinguished of the lot, reveals himself to be in dire need of treatment for
the same disease. Whose life should he save ...
Featuring an array of larger than life medics, hilarious in their absurdity, who
make a rich living peddling quack remedies to a credulous public, Shaw's 1906
play brilliantly satirises the private medical profession of his day. A plea for
a publically funded health service 40 years before the NHS was established, at a
time of creeping privatisation, this play has acquired a disturbing contemporary
relevance in any time. Will there be treatments that are so scarce or costly
that some people can have them while others cannot? Who is to decide, and on
which grounds is the decision to be taken?
Performance Times:
Tuesday to Saturday at 7.45pm
Extra performance Saturday at 3pm
Seat Prices:
In advance: All tickets £12 (£11 concessions, £10 members)

The
World Premiere of:

THE
WHITE WITCH OF ROSE HALL
by Simon James Collier
directed by Omar F. Okai
Set in nineteenth-century West Indies, against a backdrop of the abolishment of
slavery, Voodoo, murder, betrayal and lust; ‘The White Witch of Rose Hall’ is
the legendary Jamaican story inspired by ‘true’ events of the time, of a love
triangle between plantation owner Annie Palmer, her newly arrived English
Book-Keeper Robert Rutherford and a young island girl named Millie. All of which
leads to a brutal and terrifying end!
From the award-winning creative team that brought you ‘Purlie’, ‘The Remains of
the Day’, ‘1888’, ‘Collision’ and ‘The Smilin’ State’…

Utopia Theatre presents:
THE SHEPHERD’S CHAMELEON
by Eugene Ionesco
directed by Moji Kareem
Founded by award-winning artistic director Moji Kareem, Utopia Theatre is
about fusing sound, music, image, dance, video, puppetry, storytelling and text
to create extraordinarily evocative images on stage. They are committed to
bringing to life the magic of theatre through innovative productions that engage
and communicate directly with the audience, and offering an intellectual rigour
and visual flair to productions.
This spring they are launching with the rarely performed classic play, The
Shepherd’s Chameleon – an absurdist farce. Written by the man who turned the
world of comedy upside down, Eugene Ionesco, this is your chance to escape the
drudgery of everyday austerity and embrace the madcap world of absurdist comedy.
In this fast paced physical production, the playwright
is the shepherd and the world of theatre a chameleon. Take a ringside seat and
watch Ionesco take on his theatrical critics in a ridiculous battle of wits that
you won’t want to miss.

Every Sunday from 16th June until 8th September 2013 (CLF Art Cafe)
Tangram Theatre Company presents:
FUENTE OVEJUNA
by Lope De Vega
Written in 1612 and set in 1472, Lope’s account of the true story of rising up
of the villagers of Fuente Ovejuna against the sexual tyranny of its overlord
Fernán Gomez is regarded as one of the great classics of Golden Age Spanish
Theatre.
More relevant than ever in the wake of the Arab Spring and London Riots , this
new production smashes down the fourth wall to invite the audience to become one
of the villagers of Fuente Ovejuna. Will the audience rise up to destroy the
tyrant? And in rising up as a mob, where does individual responsibility for
collective violence lie?
Mashing together Lope’s classic text with modern day pop songs, audience
participation, excerpts from Shakespeare, and a Richard and Judy-style King and
Queen of Thpain, Daniel Goldman’s poor theatre adaptation invites audiences to
discover Lope’s pastoral tragicomedy in all its bucolic slapstick humour and
gut-wrenching brutality.
Each performance will feature a different combination of eleven performers
selected from a working collective of twenty-plus performers. Furthermore, a
different live band will perform a bespoke soundtrack to each performance as
Fuente Ovejuna’s local wedding band.

Amy Lamé presents:
UNHAPPY
BIRTHDAY
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 18 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
by Amy Lamé
directed by Scottee
Amy Lamé invites you to share her birthday.
Morrissey, icon for the bookish, bespectacled weirdos of the world, is invited
too, and a seat is reserved for him. Will he arrive clutching a bunch of flowers
and a gift? Will he turn up at all? Unhappy Birthday is an exuberant culture
clash of party, performance and DJ set, where guests will be called on to get
out of their seats, play pass the parcel or even take on the role of Morrissey
himself.
Cracking open the cult of celebrity and fandom, Amy flays fat, faith and sexual
identity; probes the pains of growing up; and cross examines a curious nostalgia
for a time that may never have existed except in the bedroom of our imagination.
A show not only for Morrissey fans, Unhappy Birthday will appeal to anyone who
has ever loved pop music, experienced teen angst or been crushed by unrequited
love.
Unhappy Birthday appears exactly 30 years after the release of The Smiths first
single, Hand In Glove in May, 1983.
Amy Lamé is a performer, writer and broadcaster.

JAZZ IN THE ROUND
Presenter of BBC's Jazz On 3, Jez Nelson, hosts a monthly barrier-busting
jazz/contemporary music binge every last Monday of the month.
With audience on four sides, Jazz In The Round will disregard genre and
other limiting habits to showcase new talent alongside headline players in a
concert setting – with added solo spots from those that usually don’t do
that sort of thing.
http://thecockpit.org.uk/jazz
has the information.
Monday 27th May:
Eska Mutungwazi This talented and original London based composer comes from
a varied and eclectic musical background. As a vocalist, her legendary
virtuosity has attracted the attentions of a host of acclaimed artists – the
likes of Tony Allen and David Sylvian, to name a few. Her vocal arrangements
have credits on 3 Mercury-nominated albums that range from hip-hop to indie
to jazz.
Alex Ward is a composer, improviser, and performing musician who plays a
variety of instruments and has had a long involvement with free music. He
has been a member of many other groups including ensembles led by Eugene
Chadbourne, Simon H. Fell and Duck Baker.
Phil Meadows Group Based in London, the group performs an array of original
compositions written by bandleader Phil Meadows. Combining a cocktail of
influences this group appeal to a host of audiences with a passion for
improvisation, beauty and groove. Complex, powerful and emotive one minute;
thoughtful, delicate and beautiful the next. Think Miles Davis meets Bartok
with a helping hand from the ECM record label.
We're excited to have Gina Southgate as our artist in residence, painting
the action as it happens. You can see her work on display in our foyer, on
her website, and of
course watch her painting live on the night...

BLAIR'S CHILDREN
by April de Angelis, Georgia Fitch, Anders Lustgarten, Mark Norfolk and
Paula StanicA new and confronting play that recalls the Blair era and
addresses its legacy.
Five characters in a London coffee shop reveal their thoughts and feelings
directly to the audience, who learn first-hand how the Blair era impacted
the lives of a generation.
Inspired by the legendary 1970s production ‘Kennedy’s Children’ by Robert
Patrick. Commissioned by The Cockpit.
Kennedy’s Children saw the American 60’s defined in large part by the death
of heroes. The starting point for Blair’s Children was the idea that for
many, Blair’s era marked the death of the traditional Left. It turned out
there was much more to say. Each character in the play tells a deeply felt,
personal and very different story.
Performance Times:
Tuesday to
Saturday at 8.30pm
Seat Prices:
All tickets £12 (£10 concessions)
Twin Tickets: You can see this show at 8.30pm and preceding 7pm performance

DON'T WAKE ME: THE BALLAD OF NIHAL ARMSTRONG
An unforgettable love story of a mother and her disabled son.NIHAL - a
boy born to silence. His mother - convinced, in the teeth of all advice,
that he can communicate and live a rich life. A powerful, funny and deeply
moving account of their struggles and triumphs.
Starting with a difficult conception and a terrifying delivery with
unsympathetic midwives on hand, Nihal's mother says 'her backbone lost its
steel' when the doctor predicts that this gurgling, farting, smiling baby
would not grow up to walk, talk, read or write. When Nihal's mother
discovers he has a sensitive and intelligent personality trapped inside his
body, she does everything in her power to set it free but mostly comes up
against brick walls. Even in schools where the teachers should have known
better!
A rollercoaster of loss, grief, joy, Nihal's wicked sense of humour and the
indomitable human spirit.
Performance Times:

characters, Rumpelstiltskin has got to be the most mixed up. He is helpful
yet demanding; secretive yet nosy; short yet owning a name as long as his
beard. Not surprisingly, this story of transformation will make you laugh
and gasp at the same time!

October 2013 Infinite Space Theatre present:

MACBETH
by William Shakespeare
As the City falls into ruin, can Macbeth's Dunsinane Hill Ltd stave off a
hostile takeover from Birnam Wood?In talking about Othello, Nicholas
Hytner spoke of the need to update the context through which Shakespeare's
plays are seen. Many of the themes they raise are universal. However in the
400 odd years since Macbeth was written, its themes of ambition, corruption,
cruelty and power have evolved, perhaps appearing in more subtle and
conniving ways than they once did.
For this reason, Infinite Space Theatre's Macbeth is set behind the pristine
closed doors of the City. Birnam Wood and Dunsinane Hill are two
organisations engaged in a hostile takeover. The witches are police and
journalists. Macduff is female, pushing for the representation on the Board
which women so woefully lack. And Lady Macbeth plays her cards rather
differently, using her husband as a vehicle to vault her desire for power.
This is still a play about blood, only the way in which it is spilled has
been updated and contemporised.

LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN
by Oscar Wilde
directed by Petina Hapgood
“London is full of women who trust their husbands. One can always recognize
them. They look so thoroughly unhappy. I am not going to be one of them”
Oscar Wilde’s witty dialogue, social satire and outrageous paradoxes for which
he is still remembered are most evident in this work. Wilde’s play shows us the
destructiveness of gossip and superficial judgement. It examines the ambiguous
sexual morality and gender politics at the heart of the British ruling class,
whilst simultaneously challenging our perception of what constitutes a “good
woman”.

Exchange Theatre presents:
A FAMILY AFFAIR / UN AIR DE FAMILLE
Un air de famille by Jean Pierre Bacri and Agnes Jaoui
A family affair translation by Andy de La Tour
The Award winning French play, presented alternately in English and French!
Like every Friday night, the Menard get together at the "Père Tranquille" the
café owned by Henri, the eldest son who inherited the business.... Tonight, his
wife is not to be found. Although it's a day of celebration: his younger brother
Philippe was on TV, Betty, his sister talked back to her boss and it's Yoyo's
(Philippe's wife) birthday. Their mother thinks it's a good day to party. But
today's events dig up family stories and Madame Menard and her children start to
wash their dirty linen whilst some hidden secrets are revealed to everyone. What
if Denis, the waiter decided to interfere? Hopefully, the dog would stay in his
place...
A family affair is a caustic play, by Agnes Jaoui and Jean Pierre Bacri
(Cuisines et Dependances, Le Gout des autres), which won the best script award
at the Cesar when they adapted it for the big screen. A very successful French
comedy revived for the first time in London.
Performed alternately in French and English and produced by Exchange Theatre,
the former resident company at the French Institute behind the revival of Jean
Paul Sartre's "The Flies" ("Totally Engaging, enthralling to watch" The
Scotsman) and creators of the first English translations of one act Feydeau
farces. This year at the Drayton Arms, the play takes place in South Kensington
at the heart of the Frenchiest London neighbourhood.
After The Feydeau Double Bill, for the sixth year, Exchange theatre holds
BASTILLE EVENTS. French theatre in English and French food! The Drayton Arms,
associated with the company, offers a French menu and French wine throughout the
week.
Exchange Theatre’s French amateur students also present their work the

NOTHING IS THE END OF THE WORLD (EXCEPT FOR THE END OF THE
WORLD)
by Bekah Brunstetter
directed by Max Pappenheim
"In middle school, my parents dressed me in nothing but pro-life t-shirts
with foetuses on them. I’m discovering it’s a hard rep to shake."
In the near-distant future, a New York City charter school becomes the first to
welcome artificially intelligent students - but an ever-present reality show
film crew doesn’t help things go smoothly.
From Jessica, the student body president, who never wants to fail, ever; to Kit,
who’s solid, athletic, and trapped; to Danny, a theatre nerd (the very good
kind), now really isn’t a good time to take part in ‘documented partially
scripted reality television’.
Suddenly priorities and moralities turn inside out as the androids try to
integrate, the students try to help them integrate, and everyone tries to
survive junior year.
High school dramedy meets invasion sci-fi in this new play from one of the USA’s
hottest new writers.

THE BLOOD IS STRONG
The Blood Is Strong
by David Hutchison
"Britain, it’s a corpse. Still twitching, oh yes, but not long to go now. And
we’ve got to get clear as fast as we can.”
Scotland, today. Alec Baillie used to be a famous singer of Scottish popular
music. No Hogmanay was complete without him, but now he finds himself out of
date and forgotten as tastes have moved on, and the country itself is changing
around him. His daughter is an aspiring Scottish National Party MSP anxious to
be part of an independent Scotland in which she sees no place for the
traditional cosy view of the nation that her father represents…
This timely play is both a compelling human story and an exploration of what has
been happening politically and culturally north of the border. And what that
might mean for England and the English.

HARD FEELINGS
by Doug Lucie
directed by James Hillier.
"We're supposed to be having a party. It's s'posed to be fun. This is my house,
and when I say everybody have fun, then everybody have fun."
Brixton, April 1981, and tensions mount. In the safety of their home a group of
Oxford University Graduates barely notice what's happening on the streets
outside as police and rioters clash, shops are looted and buildings set on fire.
In both worlds there is a fight for rights... a fight for respect...a fight for
control. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will make the strongest cocktail? And
when the dust finally settles the question remains... Will things ever change?
Acclaimed at its premiere, the core
of Hard Feelings is as relevant today as it was then.
It was first staged at
the Oxford Playhouse in 1982, before transferring to the Bush Theatre in 1983.
It was later broadcast as a BBC Play for Today. Chillingly funny, this is the first London production in 25 years.

present:
EARLY DAYS
by David Storey
directed by Tim Newns.
“It’s like living on an alien
planet. I speak the language but no one listens. I make the signs but nobody
sees.”
Kitchen, a retired politician, is
placed in the care of his daughter and son-in-law for his own safety. Paranoia
and fear set in as his isolation forces him to reflect on his life, the passing
of time, loss and remembered love. All the while his family and the people
around him lose patience and faith in his ability to speak truth.
Originally written for Sir Ralph
Richardson, Early Days is an intrinsically poignant lament on loneliness and
abandonment. Desolate yet full of gentle humour, the play is an astute study on
the realizations of old age.
The first London production in nearly 30 years, in celebration of playwright
David Storey's 80th birthday.

Arion Productions Ltd in association with Neil McPherson for the Finborough
Theatre presents the first London production in more than 25 years of:
AS IS
by William M. Hoffman
directed by Andrew Keates.
“Sometimes I’m so scared I go back on my resolutions: I drink too much, and I
smoke a joint, and I find myself at the bars and clubs, where I stand around and
watch. They remind me of accounts of Europe during the Black Plague: groping in
the dark, dancing till you drop. The New Wave is the corpse look. I’m very
frightened and I miss you. Say something, damn it.”
New York City, 1985.
Rich, a young writer who is beginning to find success, is breaking up with his
longtime lover, Saul, a professional photographer. However Rich's idyll with his
new lover is short-lived when he learns that he has contracted the terrifying
new disease AIDS and returns to Saul for sanctuary as he awaits its slow and
awful progress.
In a mosaic of brilliantly conceived short scenes, blending humour, poignance
and dazzling theatricality, As Is captures the pathos of Rich's relationship
with friends and family, the cold impersonality of the doctors and nurses who
care for him and the widely diverse aspects of New York's gay community. A
heartbreaking and unsparing examination of a deeply felt human relationship
shattered by a mindless, destructive disease.
As Is was a revolutionary and groundbreaking play of its time, and remains sadly
still urgently relevant – the number of gay and bisexual men being diagnosed
with HIV in the UK reached an "all-time high" in 2011 (figures from the Health
Protection Agency).
As Is was the winner of the Obie and Drama Desk Awards, one of Time Magazine's
'Best Plays of the Year' and nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. It was
originally produced Off-Broadway by the Circle Repertory Company in 1985, and
subsequently transferred to Broadway. It was televised in 1986, directed by
Michael Lindsay-Hogg. It now receives its first London production since the 1987

Premiere of: RACE
by David Mamet
directed by Terry Johnson
“We’re going to give them a surprise. Sufficient to get whosoever’s on the jury,
to put aside all the nonsense they think they’re supposed to think about race.
And rule on the facts.”
A hotel room in disarray - lamps broken, cigarette butts, liquor bottles - a red
sequin dress, and a man accused of rape... The accused is white, the accuser
black. Two lawyers, one black and one white, must uncover and sift the facts of
the case. Is the man guilty? And, irrespective of that, can his case be won?
Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet's searing drama is a topical detective story
about the perceptions and realities that colour our world - and the subtle
shades between being a victim and being victimised.

Friday 10th May until Saturday
15th June 2013 A Hampstead Theatre Production: A HUMAN
BEING DIED THAT NIGHT
by Nicholas Wright
directed by Jonathan Munby
'I was a veteran fighter. That’s how I saw myself. But at the end of the day,
Pumla, all that I really am is a veteran of lost ideologies. Once you realise
that, you lose your innocence.’
1997, Pretoria Central Prison, South Africa. Psychologist Pumla
Gobodo-Madikizela prepares to sit opposite the apartheid regime's most notorious
assassin.
A member of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, she is interviewing Eugene
de Kock while he serves 212 years for crimes against humanity, murder,
conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, illegal possession
of firearms, and fraud.
How did he become one of the most reviled figures in apartheid history? Is she
able to overcome her disgust and hate for this monster and find the human
within? And will he even be prepared to open up and tell an educated black woman
the truth?
Nicholas Wright makes his Hampstead Downstairs debut following his sell-out hit
The Last of the Duchess on the Main Stage in 2011. A Human Being Died That Night
is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela
and explores her extraordinary interviews with Eugene De Kock, her time on the
TRC, and how a fundamentally moral person could become a mass murderer.

I have realised that what I want most of all is for Daisy's life to be. Just.
Uncomplicated. An uncomplicated life. What a gift.Daisy is sixteen. She was

the hospital tells her father Peter that she must travel regularly to London for
specialist treatment, he worries about how he will manage. But there is only one
person he can ask for help.
Melanie Spencer directs her debut play, a moving and intimate study of a family

The Jack Studio Theatre's annual playwrighting festival WRITE NOW 4 presents:
NO RHYME
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 14 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
by Melanie Pennant
directed by Kate Bannister
“I wanna be little again...just us three playing on the estate and knocking
on doors and running away…member. And picking up pennies and buying sweets and
not even knowing about nothing else. ”
Nushka’s planning revenge, Pepper’s plans backfire and Jayde is nowhere to be
seen. Katya hates her job, Lizzie can’t leave hers and a young girl hovers
between life and death.
Enter a world where a disrespect can mean more than a life, where being
different makes you the target. No Rhyme is a raw new play about youth on youth
crime and the struggle to find answers. It’s New Year’s Eve. When tragedy
strikes who will walk away?
In October 2012 we asked writers with a connection to south east London to
submit previously unperformed plays to the theatre's annual playwrighting
festival 'WRITE NOW 4.' This play was chosen from these submissions.
Performance Times:

5 Pound 5 Theatre presents:
MANDRAKE
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 14 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
by Niccolò Machiavelli, adapted by Howard Colyer
directed by Scott Le Crass
Marking a break with medieval drama, this salacious farce was the forerunner
to the comedies of Shakespeare. One of the landmarks of the Italian Renaissance,
Mandrake contained all of the essential ingredients of the modern farce of
intrigue: it has marriage, lust, adultery, corruption and deceit. This new
adaptation reunites Howard Colyer and Scott Le Crass who previously collaborated
on Nameless Theatre’s Homework.
Enormously popular since its opening almost 500 years ago, Mandrake made Pope
Leo X and his cardinals delirious with delight over the play’s scenes of
clerical corruption. Taking place over 48 hours, the plot is typical of
Machiavelli’s plays: Callimaco wants Lucrezia. Lucrezia is married to Sir Nicia.
Sir Nicia wants children. Ligurio wants to please both Callimaco and Sir Nicia.
But what happiness can Lucrezia find? And Siro, the unpaid servant, how can he
turn things to his advantage?
First performed in 1520 during the Carnival in Florence, Mandrake was an
immediate popular success, and the fame of the work soon spread throughout
Italy. In Venice the audience was so attracted to the play that people
overwhelmed the stage and made it impossible to complete. Mandrake has remained
popular ever since.
Before this production, the most recent adaptations to be seen in London were
the 1968 musical by Michael Alfreds and Anthony Bowles, and the translation by
Wallace Shawn which was staged at the National in 1984.

CALIFORNIAN LIVES
by Martin Foreman
directed by Emma King-Farlow
3 powerful and moving monologues that lay bare the lives of three very different
people
How well do you know those who are closest to you? In three powerful and moving
monologues, Martin Foreman lays bare the lives of three very different
Californians.
In Los Feliz, Robin Holden is a salesman in a diner who knows the freeways and
side streets of Los Angeles like the back of his hand. Then on one of these side
streets he meets the woman of his dreams…
Ben and Joe’s, starring Barry Clarke, is set in a San Fernando Valley bar, where
a group of older men spend their days shooting the breeze, watching TV and
flirting with the bartender. Life is quiet until a young man enters…
The final monologue is Sunset, starring Carolyn Lyster. As the sun sets in the
Cascade Mountains a grandmother remembers her first date, the man she married
and their life together.
www.californianlives.co.uk is

BALLO
(A Masked Ball)
a new English version by and directed by Adam Spreadbury-Maher
Based on the real-life assassination of King Gustav III of
Sweden, director Adam Spreadbury-Maher follows up his hugely successful East
Berlin Tosca with a version of Verdi's political thriller, A Masked Ball, set in
a famous Swedish homeware store.
Verdi's original Swedish version was considered too politically inflammatory,
and so had to be re-written to give the characters Italian identities.
OperaUpClose's production will combine the Italian characters with a distinctly
Swedish flavour, served up in the unmistakably English setting of an out-of-town
shopping centre on London's North Circular Road.
This is OperaUpClose's 13th production (all in new English translations) since
its foundation in late 2009 for the experiment of producing La Boheme in a tiny
pub theatre in Kilburn.

political and sexual intrigue with ferocious wit and innovation and examines
Mary's legacy through the eyes of Corbie, a carrion crow who is her unseen
attendant through life and death.
Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off could not be more timely in an age
when the question of Scottish Independence is back at the top of the political
agenda. The play makes the link between contemporary Scottish sectarianism and
the power politics of the French Catholic Mary and the English Protestant
Elizabeth, the virgin queen. and examines the way contemporary Scotland’s sense
of identity has been forged by the myths of its history.
Previously only seen in London for one week at the Donmar Warehouse in 1987,
it will get its first full London season, 25 years after its Scottish premiere.

OUR TOWN
by Thornton Wilder
directed by Tim Sullivan
Set in the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners, it recounts the
story of an average town's citizens through their everyday lives. And in a move
that was truly groundbreaking when the play premiered, it is performed without a
set and the actors mime their actions without the use of any props, conjuring up
a complete world through just a handful of chairs and ladders. Another stage
first was to use the character of the Stage Manager as an actual narrator,
breaking the Fourth Wall to address the audience directly.

Happenstance Theatre Company present the London premiere
of:
THE BOAT FACTORY
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 12 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
by Dan Gordon
directed by Philip Crawford
July 1947. The sun shines down on a post-war world. A 16-year-old boy walks for
the first time through the gates of Belfast’s Harland & Wolff Titanic shipyard.
More than 1700 ships built between here and the Clyde, 67 different trades, 300
acres of land and 35,000 men employed at its height. Regarded as the biggest and
best there is, if you can dream it - they can build it. This is history - this
is his story.
Dan Gordon's play is an extraordinary evocation of a city in a century of great
change. The many voices of the script carry echoes of other places, other
worlds, other epics, but return eventually to the home place and the amazing
eloquence of ordinary people. Actors Dan Gordon and Michael Condron conjure up a
host of colourful characters from the glory days of Belfast's shipbuilding era
to construct a poignant, funny, and moving picture of boat-building, male
friendship, hardship, humour and heroism.
The play gets its London premiere at the King’s Head Theatre, after winning
acclaim at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival and transferring to New York.
Age guidance 12+ (contains some mild swearing)

BOY'S LIFE
by Howard Korder
directed by Sebastien Blanc
Transporting us back to the sexy, 'in vogue' days of 1988 in New York, when the
western economy and capitalism where riding high, it tells the hilarious story
of three former college pals, making it big in the city and with the women of
their desires. It highlights how, in a fast changing world of sexual politics, a
group of twenty-something American lads get caught in a state of arrested
development and struggle with the concept of the "new man".
A quarter of a century later, 11:11 Productions afford us a look back in time,
to relationships between the sexes when the going is good. Has austerity changed
the patterns or are they still the same?

NEXT THING YOU KNOW
music by Joshua Salzman
book and lyrics by Ryan Cunningham
directed by Robert McWhir
'Next Thing You Know' is the new musical from the Drama Desk-nominated
writers of 'I Love You Because,' produced at the Landor Theatre in 2007, winning
best Off West End production at the WhatsOnStage.com awards the following year.
It follows the story of four New Yorkers as they laugh, love and drink their way
through the big questions that face all young dreamers who wake up in the city
that never sleeps. Does marrying a really nice guy mean you're settling down or
just settling? Does taking a nine-to-five equal giving up or growing up? Does a
decade in the city break you down or break you in?

World Premiere of: LUCK PENNY
by Aisling Foster
directed by Cherry Cookson
STARRING SHEILA RUSKIN & PETER DINEEN
Moscow 1948. Dr Brendan Regan, old
friend of Eamon deValera, is on a secret mission to return some Russian Crown
Jewels. The jewels had been taken back to Ireland by deValera in 1920 as
collateral for a loan he made to a small party of Bolsheviks who were travelling
around the United States trying to raise funds for post-revolutionary Russia.
The Irish revolutionaries were
on the same assignment. They raised many millions of dollars while the Russians
collected almost nothing. At the end of the Second World War, both their
governments are poles apart, making the friendship and loan an enormous
political embarrassment for both sides. This play is based on real events.
Official papers documenting the return of the jewels were released by the Dublin
government in 1993. Cast: Sheila Ruskin and Peter Dineen. Supported
by Giant Olive Theatre Company.
Produced by Luck Penny Theatre Company.

13th July 2013 El-Alfy Theatre Company present the UK premiere
of: THE COMEDY OF OEDIPUS
by Ali Salem
directed by Ahmed El-Alfy
What if Oedipus lived in Ancient Egypt, killed the Sphinx, and became a
personality cult - his face on the cover of the Time magazine?
'The Comedy of
Oedipus' is Egyptian playwright Ali Salem’s hilarious, surreal, but relevant
version of Sophocles’ classical tragedy in the Thebes of Ancient Egypt - only
this land of pharoahs and pyramids has popularity contests and papparazzi,
too, and however hard Oedipus tries to modernise his people’s thinking, they
only worship him more. Ali Salem’s 1970 satire not only captures the
absurdities and incongruities of mass communication, it throws a strong
dimension into today's Egypt and its challenges and dreams for the future. Ali
Salem is famed throughout the Arab world as a brilliant comic playwright, whose
best-known work is ‘Madraset Al Moshaghbeen’ (The Trouble Maker’s School). In
‘The Comedy of Oedipus’ is ‘Pythonesque’ vision of a world determined to go
mad. El-Alfy Theatre Company is a new International Theatre Company based in
London as part of Star Brands International Group. Its objective is to produce
provocative and innovative Theatre in the UK with a cultural twist. Its Founder,
Ahmed El Alfy, is an Egyptian Theatre Director from Cairo. Part of the Shubbak

LULU - A S*X TRAGEDY
a new adaptation by Oliver Jack and Patrick Wilde.
based on Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box by Frank Wedekind
directed by Oliver Jack
Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box, first seen in 1895 and 1904, trace the story of
a sexually-enticing dancer, Lulu, who rises in German society through her
relationships with several wealthy men, but who later falls into poverty and
prostitution. The story has been interpreted many times since - often combined
into one script - on TV and radio, as plays, musicals, operas and even on the
2011 album Lulu, a collaboration between rock musician Lou Reed and heavy metal
band Metallica.
Commissioned by LOST Theatre Artistic Director Mark Magill, Lulu - A S*x Tragedy
strives to re-ignite the popularity of the original story while presenting it in
a new format for a modern day audience.

classic that premiered 23 years ago at the Traverse Theatre. Claire appeared in
last year’s Face to Face Festival and then went on to win the Grand Prix Prize
at the MonoAkt Festival in Kosovo and another award at the Thespis International
Monodrama Festival in Germany.
Other outstanding performers invited back from the 2012 festival include

Over the past 30 years, Face to Face Theatre Festival Director Colin Watkeys has
specialised in producing and directing solo theatre and writers who perform
their own work. He is now part of a world movement that recognises that solo
performance possesses a unique quality of vision in theatre. The Face to Face
Festival celebrates the very best in solo theatre and nurtures future solo
performers, new and emerging artists perform alongside experienced
professionals. Exciting new work plays opposite classic solo pieces. There are
also training opportunities for new performers to take part in workshops and
both create and present their first solos.
Colin Watkeys first created Solo Theatre on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with
Nica Burns in Dulcima in 1982 (originally there was another non-speaking role
later cut) Since then he has worked with Young Writers at the Royal Court
Theatre and solo performers at the Finborough Cabaret from 1982 – 1988. He
directed all of the solo theatre created by award winning performers Claire
Dowie and the legendary Ken Campbell as well as work by Stephen Oxley (Tristram

CUDDLES
by Joseph Wilde
directed by Rebecca Atkinson-Lord
This debut vampire tale confronts the effects of consumerism on a young
society.
Teenage vampire Eve has never known what sunlight is. Everything the
13-year-old knows about the world is derived from what her sister Tabby has told
her. She has never left her darkened room and has just one living, breathing
human to cuddle. She lives in a world crammed with story book characters. In
Eve’s world Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins and the cast of Dante’s Inferno are
real; where princes with adjectives instead of names seduce beautiful princesses
against the odds. Eve does everything a good little vampire girl should,
including drinking her (human) sister’s blood. But one day, Tabby tires of
opening her veins and, in a breath, Eve’s whole world changes
An edgy, funny exploration of a co-dependent relationship between sisters
Tabby and Eve, brings a dark, punk sensibility to the stage. Conceived in the
wake of the London riots, Cuddles, from the creative team that presented The
Sluts of Sutton Drive, is a damning look at how society teaches that what we
consume dictates our identity, and a consideration of the ways in which our
parenting choices directly shape the world of tomorrow.

CLATTERHOUSE Theatre presents:
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISSOCIA
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 13 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
by Anthony Neilson
directed by William Seaward
‘Your watch isn't slow Lisa... You are’
Lisa is a troubled young lady; troubled by her life and its imbalance at the
hands of her watch - always behind by one hour. When a mysterious gentleman
arrives at her door, he brings news from the watch specialist Lisa entrusted
with her broken "time piece" and reveals that the watch is in fact intact and
that "somewhere in all the temporal confusion" it is Lisa who has lost an hour
from her life. He informs her that her only hope of retrieving the hour and
restoring balance to her life is to travel to a fantastical land called "Dissocia"
where she is sure to find it. But all is not as it seems and as Lisa descends to
Dissocia, she encounters some of the strangest individuals in the land, who
though they may send her in the direction of her lost hour, do not necessarily
want her to find it.
Not seen on a London stage for nearly ten years, join Lisa as she descends to
Dissocia in this strange and macabre revival of Anthony Neilson's Dorothy meets
Alice style classic. Crammed with dark humour, a witty satire and musical set
pieces, this is a theatrical spectacle not to be missed - especially in the
intimate setting of The Red Hedgehog Theatre. We all lose time through our day
but what would you do if you lost it for good?!

TILT'S LONDON LIMING
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 14.
Featuring the best of Britain’s spoken word artists from across the UK, in a
laidback night of lyricism and music
Tilt’s London Liming transports the atmosphere of Trinidad 'liming' culture to
London, in a laid back night of drink, dance, poetry and critically acclaimed
performance. The next event, taking place in June, responds to the theme of
COMBUSTIFICATION! and features MOBO Award Winner and Mercury Prize Nominee
Soweto Kinch, alongside verbal gymnastics and wordplay from the acclaimed
Patience Agbabi and Mark Gwynne Jones.
On its return to London in the autumn, London Liming teams up with cutting edge
poetry night Chill Pill, in a unique collaboration between two of the capital’s
leading spoken word curators in a special, one off show.
Tilt is a spoken word company that opens up spaces for speech, performance and
satire. They tour writers, performers and raconteurs and curate events, with
recent credits including a Spoken Word tour of award-winning Guardian journalist
Gary Younge, presenting talks and discussion on his latest book, Who Are We?.
Thursday 13th June 2013:
Featuring Soweto Kinch, Patience Agbabi, Mark Gwynne Jones.
Soweto Kinch is one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians in both
the British jazz and hip hop scenes. A graduate in Modern History from Oxford
University, he has amassed an impressive list of accolades and awards on both
sides of the Atlantic, including a Mercury Music Prize nomination, two UMA
Awards and a MOBO for best Jazz Act. In 2007, he won his second MOBO Award where
he was announced as the winner in the Best Jazz Act category - fending off stiff
competition from the likes of Wynton Marsalis. As a hip hop MC and producer he
has supported and performed alongside KRS ONE, Dwele, Mos Def, Rodney P and BBC
1-Xtra's Twin B.d.
Patience Agbabi’s poetry ‘…draws on rap, jive and disco rhythms as much as the
formal subtleties of free verse’ (Daily Telegraph). She has worked both
nationally and internationally, touring to a host of venues from Johannesburg to
Hamburg, The National Gallery to a tattoo studio in North London. A Fellow in
Creative Writing at Oxford Brookes University, her latest collection is
Bloodshot Monochrome (Canongate Books Ltd, 2008).
Five times fringe-award winner, Mark Gwynne Jones is known for ‘mind altering’
poetry with an almost music-hall edge. ‘Inspired... one of the most accomplished
performance poets in the land...drawing the audience into a world where things
are not quite what they seem’ (Guardian).
Thursday 10th October 2013:
London Liming meets Chill Pill, featuring John Agard, Chill
Pill founding members & Roundhouse Poetry Collective

MY FIRST CINDERELLA
Suitable for ages 3 and over.
Children aged 3 and above can get their first taste of classical ballet, from
English National Ballet’s Associate Artist, George Williamson, working with
outstanding dancers cast from English National Ballet School (ENB2). Created

form, reaching out to newcomers today and developing the audience of tomorrow.
The dancers will wear the sumptuous costumes from the company’s full production

suitable for younger audiences.
ENB2 is a new touring company featuring graduating dancers of outstanding
potential from English National Ballet School in performances produced by
English National Ballet, continuing the initiative to bring ballet to young
audiences. George Williamson is a graduate of English National Ballet School and
this is his second commission from English National Ballet following his
celebrated Firebird in 2012.
English National Ballet is delighted to announce a grant of £114,520 from the
Leverhulme Trust to continue this initiative. The funding supports the next two

HUTCH
music by Cole Porter
book by Joe Evans
directed by Linnie Reedman
The unforgettable music and lyrics of Cole Porter feature
heavily in this new play about Leslie ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson, London’s most popular
cabaret attraction of the 20s and 30s.
“I was lucky to be in Paris at the time Cole Porter was starting to write his
big hits... He taught me how to sing his songs and introduced me to the right
people.” - Hutch
The ‘right people’ (aka his numerous lovers) included Hollywood stars,
debutantes, princesses and duchesses; most famously Edwina, wife of Lord Louis
Mountbatten, the Queen’s cousin. But the love triangle of Hutch, Porter and
Mountbatten ultimately destroyed him, emotionally, physically and musically.
Hutch was born in Grenada in 1900, moving to New York in his teens, then Paris
and London in 1927 where the jazz age was in full swing. He was soon the darling
of society and the population in general. Hutch was a favourite singer of the
then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) and he had an audience of millions
as a performer on BBC radio. As well as being the lover of Cole Porter, Hutch
recorded several of his songs, including Begin the Beguine and Porter's famous
list song Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love), to which Hutch made up 70 new
verses. Hutch suffered from ill-health in his later years and died in London
from pneumonia on 19 August 1969. Only 42 people attended his funeral.
Age suitability: 8 and over.
Cas
(all double up as musicians, playing violin, double bass and piano) includes
Sheldon Green as Hutch, Andrew Mathys (Lord Mountbatten), Imogen Daines (Lady
Mountbatten), Sid Phoenix (Cole Porter), Nell Mooney (Linda Porter), Patrick
Lannigan (Joe Zelli).

THE GREAT GATSBY
adapted by Joe Evans and Linnie Reedman
original Music and lyrics by Joe Evans
directed by Linnie Reedman

silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession
will force his world to unravel.
Now the critically acclaimed play with music, based on the classic American
novel by F Scott Fitzgerald, with actors doubling up as musicians, is returning
for a second London season, at Riverside Studios, this time with the addition of
new orchestrations, and choreography by award-winning Lee Proud, who is joining

PAYBACK: THE MUSICAL
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 12.
by Paul Rayfield
directed by Simon Greiff
A love story unfolds within the world of daytime television in this satirical
new musical.
A young orphaned couple from Rio’s favelas, who are struggling financially with
their internet cafe, enter Payback, a paternity TV show in England. The
government has privatised paternity claims and Payback aims to track down errant
fathers and pay the injured party compensation. But the reality TV show is not
quite reality, and the young couple are in danger of being nothing more than a
solution to diving ratings, a soft target for the cynical and manipulative host,
Matt Matthews, and a distraction to the government’s inability to deal with
paternity claims.
Fresh and funny, this new musical, with a sharp, original script and catchy
score, recaptures the excitement of the very best traditional musicals. A new
performance for the stage amongst revivals, this 2016 tale of love stretches
from Brazil to England. Featuring a blend of jazz, Latin and traditional
ballads, it’s a wry, contemporary look at today’s celebrity and story hungry
media culture.

Second Skin Theatre present:
SAPPHO... IN 9 FRAGMENTS
by Jane Montgomery Griffiths
directed by Jessica Ruano
“Sappho: aristocrat, iconoclast, dissident, exile, rampant
hetero, raging queer, top, bottom, butch, femme, lesbian pin-up, Christian
tear-up, Romans’ reference, Egyptian’s refuse, empty vessel, imaginative void,
gap, void, gap, dot, dot, dot, space, brackets, dot, more space, more dots, more
brackets…”
A powerful play that invokes a modern twist on a
once forgotten legend. This is a politically-charged and inspirational work
about Ancient Greece’s first love poet intertwined with a fearlessly romantic
modern-day affair.
While Sappho today is acknowledged as one of the most influential poets of her
time, her work consists only of fragments that reveal little regarding her life,
her passions and her lustful entanglements. The production’s staging captures
the elusivity of Sappho’s work by literally suspending the actor just out of
reach – as the poet’s work has been since 600BC.

MEAT
The quarterly gay pin up print party.
Meat is a quarterly gay pinup print zine, published by photographer Adrian
Lourie, which showcases portraits of amazing men.
In January 2013 Adrian travelled to San Francisco to shoot an issue of the zine
and the result is meat SF. The issue features a bunch of fantastic men from The
City, including Grammy® Award-winning singer/songwriter, Matt Alber (mattalber.com),
who also graces the cover. Matt's iconic video for the single 'End of the World'
launched a solo career that has seen him release three albums and play across
the globe to sold-out audiences. Most recently Matt released a live DVD, 'With
Strings Attached,' re-interpreting some of his best loved songs with the help of
San Francisco's Cello Street Quartet.
To celebrate the publication of meat SF we're delighted and extremely proud to
announce that Matt Alber will be playing a special show pre- club at The RVT on
14th June. This show will be a ticket only event.
Matt played his first London gig at The Horse in Waterloo in November 2012 to a
standing-room-only crowd and his appearance at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern is
highly anticipated.
Following Matt's show will be the regular Meat dance party, which will be
non-ticketed and we are beyond excited to announce that Jim Stanton of legendary
South London club night Horse Meat Disco will be our very special guest on the
decks.
Matt will be onstage at 8pm prompt and doors for the dance party will be from
10.30pm until 3am.
The Dance Party featuring the meat boys and Jim Stanton (Horse Meat Disco) on
decks is £5 on the door from 10.30pm.
Doors open for Matt Alber Show at 7pm, Show starts at 8pm prompt.
Tickets for show:
£15 Unreserved seating, £10 Standing
All tickets for Matt include entry to Meat.

EVEN STILLNESS BREATHES SOFTLY AGAINST A BRICK WALL
by Brad Birch
directed by Nadia Latif
A visceral examination of urban living and human existence spiralling out of
control.
What happens when the modern world begins to erode your mind; when you start to
blur the food you eat with the numbers you crunch? How far would you go to get
the things you want? Would you sacrifice your place in the queue? What would
happen if you just said no?
Brad Birch’s blistering new play charts the turbulent descent of two people,
whose lives are an orchestra of alarm clocks, traffic lights, advertising,
emails, credit cards, meal deals, phone calls, breaking news, loyalty cards,
wi-fi, meetings, meetings, meetings…
Brad Birch is the writer in residence at Undeb Theatre and a member of
Theatre503's 503Five. Over the past few years Brad has had work produced by
Theatre Powys, Sherman Cymru, Theatre503 and the Royal Court. He is currently
developing work with Sherman Cymru and South East Dance. He is studying with the
Open University and writing a novel.

TITANIC
music and lyrics by Maury Yeston
book by Peter Stone
directed by Thom Southerland
In the final hour of 14th April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her
maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and “the
unsinkable ship” slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the
20th Century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.
Based on actual characters aboard the greatest ship in the world, Maury Yeston
(Nine, Grand Hotel, Phantom) and Peter Stone's stunning musical focuses on their
hopes and aspirations. Unaware of the fate that awaits them, the Third Class
immigrants dream of a better life in America, the newly-enfranchised Second
Class dream of achieving the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and the
millionaire Barons of the First Class dream of their hegemony lasting forever.
Winner of 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

CALL ME MERMAN
Starring Rosemary Ashe with Paul Knight at the piano.
‘Call Me Merman’ is Rosie Ashe’s cabaret tribute to Ethel
Merman, legendary American actress and singer considered to be
"the undisputed First Lady of the musical comedy stage", and
perhaps best known for her rendition of the Broadway standard
‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’.
Ashe devised the biographical work after a cancellation of a
production of Gypsy in which she was to star. Longing to perform
some of the show’s songs, she created this musical monument to
the production’s original star, Miss Ethel Merman.
This fabulous show is full of wonderful anecdotes as she takes
us through Merman’s stormy life, and features fabulous songs by
the likes of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jule Styne, Stephen
Sondheim, and George & Ira Gershwin to name but a few!

The Bollywood Punjeet & Judy-gee Show
10:30am, 12:00pm, 1:30pm
KICK START THE SCHOOL SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Professor Patel presents
Three and a half centuries after Samuel Pepys recorded for posterity his visit
to an Italian puppet play in Covent Garden, multiculturalism has spawned a re-
imagining of the Great British tradition of Punch and Judy.
Just as those first British puppeteers adapted the story of Punchinello to
entertain their audiences with topical humour and razor sharp satire, a British
Asian immigrant has re-worked the classic story of Punch & Judy to reflect the
diversity of 21st century Britain.
The Bollywood style Punjeet & Judy-gee follows the travails of Punjeet, whose
antiquated views on courtship, marriage, children and society are challenged by
the audience and a host of colourful characters such as Judy-gee, his long
suffering wife and Dr Singh (who makes you go Ping).
Unfortunately the stubborn Punjeet becomes comically irate when unable to cope
with the ways of the modern world. He hilariously despatches the other
characters and mocks the audience relentlessly until he meets his match in the
Devil. Will Punjeet spend eternity in torment for his sins or for once in his
life do the right thing and defeat the Devil? Only the audience can decide.
The show features Hindi film music from the 1940s & 50s and Bollywood dancing is
strongly encouraged.
For children ages 5+

OUR SHARE OF TOMORROW
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 14 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
written and directed by Dan Sherer
Tom asked Grace out when they were sitting on the Quay. She was fifteen, he a
year older, and they were very happy together. But then she had to go away –
something to do with her parents. So he sat on the Quay waiting for her. And one
day she came back.
The production was developed through the company’s own distinctive process,
which blends devising and improvisation with traditional scripting, aiming to
create emotionally detailed, resonant and truthful work. Characters – originally
inspired by real people – are improvised and developed with the cast to explore
thematic structures and narratives, which over time are developed into the final
work through a process of writing, re-writing and further improvisation.
A critically acclaimed story of love, grief and loyalty receives its London
premiere, following a tour to the area that inspired it.
Following celebrated runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and York Theatre Royal,
thisstirring story of love and heartbreak to venues across the East, returning
to the landscapes that originally inspired this critically acclaimed work. The
tour, which covers five venues in the region, begins in Colchester where the
company are based and will precede their London premiere at Theatre503.
Real Circumstance is a company dedicated to exploring new ways of playmaking; to
developing emergent artists; and to raising the profile of the East of England
as a source of creative work.
Our Share of Tomorrow was first produced in 2010 at the Edinburgh Fringe &
York Theatre Royal, in association with York Theatre Royal & Escalator East to
Edinburgh. This production was supported by Arts Council England and the Foyle
Foundation.

COMIC POTENTIAL
by
Alan Ayckbourn
directed by
Victor Craven
Comic Potential is a romantic sci-fi comedy set in a TV studio in the

the nature of love.
The Tower Theatre is proud to bring you its first production of this Olivier,
Evening Standard and London Critics' Circle award winning show which makes us
all wonder why we laugh, why we love and why do all lonely-hearts ads demand a
good sense of humour?

Scarborough production and London & New York transfers.

CYMBELINE
by William Shakespeare, adapted by Les Foules
Shakespeare’s romance smacks of a modern thriller with its mistaken identities,
last-minute revelations, and the disappearance of its heroine, Imogen.

ANATOMY OF A MURDER
by Elihu Winer
Paul Biegler isn't looking forward to becoming a defence attorney but his first
case is sensational: a Lieutenant is accused of murdering the bartender who
allegedly raped his wife. It’s a high-stakes battle of wit and determination as
Biegler uses every device to save the officer's neck.
Initially released as a novel by Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D.Voelker
under the pseudonym Robert Traver, Anatomy of a Murder was turned in to a
critically acclaimed film starring James Stewart in 1959. An intense trial-based
play, it is ideally suited to For Short.’s uniquely up-close style of
performance.
For Short. are a young theatre troupe who turned to disused spaces when unable
to afford more traditional theatrical venues. Through collaboration with
property guardian companies, For Short. specialise in adopting pop-up locations
for their charm and function to perform appropriate plays, letting art truly
reflect life. They have received acclaim for their visceral staging of new and
published works, including Dennis Kelly’s Orphans and Martin McDonagh’s The
Lonesome West.
Anatomy of a Murder marks For Short.’s first production in the development of
the company’s Elevator platform scheme that aims to create industry
opportunities for young and emerging talent in the UK. For Short. work under the
official patronage of Simon Russell Beale and Mark Rylance, who has said of the
company, “I applaud this new initiative. These artists are busy being born.”
This gripping court room drama is to be performed in a sight-specific courthouse
venue in Blackfriars. Audit House is being used by kind permission of 3Space (http://3space.org).

Interactive Theatre International presents:
FAULTY TOWERS THE DINING EXPERIENCE
A globetrotting production featuring Basil, Sybil and Manuel in a ‘two-hour
eat, drink and laugh sensation’ (Daily Telegraph) is opening its doors on an
open-ended residency in London’s West End.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience creates The Torquay
Suite Theatre at the four-star Charing Cross Hotel in The Strand. The show
starts as the audience waits to be seated and then hurtles along for two hours
of fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific comedy theatre. With
only a third of the show scripted, everything stays fresh as Basil, Sybil and
Manuel serve up madcap mayhem and a three course meal.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is an affectionate homage to Fawlty
Towers the TV series written by John Cleese and Connie Booth. Their original TV
scripts are not used in Faulty Towers The Dining Experience. Artistic director
and co-creator of the show, Alison Pollard-Mansergh, adds,
‘Faulty is spelled that way because when I started this show in 1997, John
Cleese was still young enough to have done the role, as were Prunella Scales and
Andrew Sachs. I wanted to be absolutely clear that we were not the original, so
I spelled it differently. However, both John Cleese and the BBC know of us and
we work a lot with the BBC.’
The show has eight teams of cast who continue to tour the UK and the world
non-stop. It will be appearing in over 20 countries in 2013.

BRACKEN MOOR
by Alexi Kaye Campbell
directed by Polly Teale
“He calls me sometimes. Usually in the dark hours of the morning. ‘Mummy’ he
cries. ‘Where are you? Come and find me.’”
A dark and mysterious new play.
After years apart, two families come together to rediscover their lost
friendship. As they try to move forward they are plunged into a terrifying
encounter with the past. Struggling to make sense of the extraordinary events
that unfold before their eyes even the strongest of beliefs are shaken to the
core.
Set in Yorkshire in the 1930s, Alexi Kaye Campbell’s new play is a boldly

Fourth Monkey Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of:
PARADISE LOST
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 16 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
directed by Ailin Conant
An epic, site-specific, adaptation of John Milton’s iconic poem Paradise Lost.
“Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven.”
Following Fourth Monkey’s award winning 4.48 Psychosis in London/Edinburgh in
2012, and following their recent success with Project Colony the company returns
to the magnificent Trinity Buoy Wharf with this visceral new adaptation of
Milton’s epic poem. Milton’s classic tale of the battle between good and evil is
retold for a contemporary audience in the most atmospheric and exciting of
non-traditional theatre spaces.
Using Milton’s words almost exclusively, the production uses ensemble physical
theatre techniques to create the epic monsters and angels depicted in the text,
with characters including a faceless and unpredictable blob ‘chaos’ and
ukulele-playing angels Zephron and Ithuriel. The immersive design invites
audiences to experience both ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’, while ‘Eden’ plays home to an
apple cider bar that is open throughout the show.
Fourth Monkey Theatre Company has presented large scale, ensemble performances
in London and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Performances at The Space,
Edinburgh included A Clockwork Orange in 2010 as well as 4.48 Psychosis and Lord
of the Flies in 2012. The company strongly believes in pushing performance
boundaries and delivering brave and innovative work.

Award Winning Circus Producer Joins Forces With Britain’s Leading Providers
of Circus Education to Launch:

CIRCUS MAXIMUS
The UK’s First Ever Circus Competition Performed Live for the Public.
This spring, the hunt is on to find the top circus acts in the land. Underbelly
Productions, the live production arm of Underbelly Limited, have teamed up with
Circus Space, the National Centre for Circus Arts, to find and showcase the very
best of UK circus talent, in a live competition performed for the public.
In order to celebrate the wealth of skill and expertise that the UK produces,
Circus Maximus will scour the nation’s circus troupes, societies, adult
education classes and performance institutes to pick out the very best acrobats,
tumblers, tight-wire daredevils, trapeze artists, unicyclists and globe walkers
and offer them the chance to make it big.
The aim is simple: to showcase the very best of UK circus talent whilst
providing audiences with an exciting, entertaining and unique night out and to
award one exceptional act with a cash prize of £5,000 and the chance to develop
a new show with Underbelly Productions and Circus Space.

Heats will take place at Udderbelly Festival from 2 May, with acts performing
live for a public audience, who will then vote each night for their favourite.
The winners of the heats, plus a wild card chosen by the judges will then
perform together in the finals - a full-blown circus show, directed by an expert
director, over the week of 28 May also at Udderbelly Festival. The winner of the
competition, chosen by the judges and an audience vote, will be announced after
the final show on Saturday 1 June.
The finalists comprise the dizzying skills of Sylvia Pavone whose spins and
twists with hula hoops create a series of sparkling images, Ben Brown who bends,
pulls and squeezes into muscular contortions on aerial hoop, the swinging,
hanging and leaping talents of Fran and Lucie on Cloud Swing, Tom Ball whose
strength and poise on static trapeze steal the audience’s collective breath away
and Louis and Beren who seem to defy the very laws of physics with their hand to
hand balancing prowess
Underbelly Productions have been behind a number of high profile circus shows in
recent years including Cantina and Tom Tom Crew, and this year will be
presenting work by Circa, Pirates Of The Carabina and a new production entitled
LIMBO which is currently premiering at the Adelaide Fringe Festival prior to a
five month season in London.
Udderbelly Festival is part of Southbank Centre’s Festival of Neighbourhood with
MasterCard this summer from 4 May to 8 September. The festival will celebrate
neighbourhood in all its meanings and explore what it is to have and be a
neighbour. Communities who live close by and partners from across the UK and
abroad will participate in creating the festival – from nearby Elephant and
Castle in South London to young people from Pelhourino in Salvador, Brazil –
with a diverse programme of events including poetry, discussion, visual arts,
performance and art installations across Southbank Centre’s 21-acre site.
In the past 10 years, Underbelly have run festivals and events throughout
the UK and Europe, including festivals in Brighton, Germany, Edinburgh and
London. In 2012, Underbelly sold 370,000 tickets and had 1.9 million visitors
through the events that it operated.
Circus Space is the UK's National Centre for Circus Arts and a registered
charity. Based in a magnificent Victorian power station adjacent to Hoxton
Square, they involve thousands of people in the creation and performance of
circus arts every year. Their diverse range of work includes the UK’s only BA
Hons degree in Circus Arts, a structured progressive training programme for
under 18s and professional development opportunities for aspiring and
established performers. Adults and young people can take part in a range of
recreational classes and they provide workshops and away days for the business
community. Over half of the annual income needed to run Circus Space comes from
grants and donations.

A Unicorn production:

SOMETHING VERY FAR AWAY
written, directed and original score by Mark Arends
The critically acclaimed, Something Very Far Away returns to the Unicorn
following its sell out run last year.
Kepler is an ordinary man who loves two things beyond all others; his wife
Tomasina and the cosmos. When Tomasina is killed in a tragic circus accident, he
remembers that the deeper into space you look, the further into the past you can
see. Grieving, he builds a spaceship so that he can travel into space and look
back on his happy memories on earth.
Something Very Far Away is a strange and beautiful exploration of sadness,
mortality and wonder. The show is animated in front of the audience and is told
through projection, puppetry and music with no words at all.
For ages 8 years and upwards.
Design and animation by Matthew Robins.

Paul Taylor-Mills Ltd presents the European premiere of:

BARE
the rock musical
book by John Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo
music by Damon Intrabartolo
lyrics by John Hartmere
directed by Paul Taylor-Mills
A contemporary rock musical, Bare follows a group of teens wrestling with
issues of identity, sexuality, and religion at a co-ed Catholic boarding school.
Provocative, raw, and unyielding in its exploration of how today's generation
navigates the tightrope between adolescence and adulthood, Bare examines the
consequences of baring a soul-or hiding it from those who matter most.
Through its pulsating rock score and emotionally charged story, Bare has
thrilled and moved audiences around the world in over 100 productions since its
first staging in Los Angeles in 2000.

Ovation present the London fringe première of the Tony Award
Winning show:

AVENUE Q
NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE AGED UNDER 12 OR THE EASILY OFFENDED.
music and lyrics by Robert Lopez And Jeff Marx
book by Jeff Whitty
based on an original concept by Robert Lopez And Jeff Marx
directed by John Plews
When you've just graduated Princeton and have to make your way in one of the
most expensive cities in the world, the dodgy area of Avenue Q is the place you
end up living. Surrounded by weird people and even weirder puppets, this is a
story of self-discovery, as boy becomes man and learns about life from a busty
blonde and ever stranger friends. A musical whose message is basically, "The
internet is O.K....for porn!"

The Okai Collier Company Ltd & Evcol
Entertainment in association with the White Bear present the World Premiere of:

THE LAST EVER MUSICAL
book by Simon James Collier
music and lyrics by Richard Bates
directed by Simon James Collier,
Brian Wilts, a small-time London based theatre producer, has spent his entire
working life scheming, dealing, begging and borrowing, sweet-talking,
manipulating and schmoozing, pampering, massaging egos, promising ‘the world’,
and skating on financial, ethical and moral thin-ice, suddenly has a
rude-awakening one morning when he finds himself facing his own judgement day.
The opening night of a £95,000.00 theatrical commission from The
Femlette Feminine Hygiene Corporation is fast approaching, Brian is up the
proverbial creek without a paddle as, despite positive assurances to his
backers, there isn’t in fact a show, and he’s spent a large chunk of the advance
on making his other loss-making productions happen, coupled with the maintenance
of his hedonistic life-style.
Added to which the theatre owners, themselves under pressure to
come up with a hit after a string of disastrous failures, are now insisting that
the show, an exploration of ‘woman in today’s society’, be made more ‘up-beat’
than Brian’s original proposal, by turning it into an all singing and dancing
mainstream musical.
Can Brian utilise his eclectic skills to rise to the challenge,
or will his fragile house of cards come crashing down around him, making this
his theatrical swan-song!
From the award-winning creative team that brought you ‘Ruthless’, ‘Purlie’, ‘The
Remains of the Day’ & ‘1888’…

"THEATRES FOR THEATRES APPEAL"
 |
Great Ormond Street Hospital is looking for support from amateur dramatic
societies, theatres and other budding performers to help raise vital funds
towards two Neurosciences operating theatres for our young patients at Great
Ormond Street Hospital.
The Appeal aims to raise £4million towards the construction of 2 brand new state
of the art operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital to be used for
children who require specialist neurosurgery. The neurosciences team treats over
8,000 children each year, with demand for neurosurgery already outstrips current
capacity.
Could your company hold collections for us during your
pantomime season? Ask users of your venue to hold a collection for us during
their production? Ask patrons if they would like to add a donation to the price
of their tickets? Put a collection box on the Box Office Counter?
The Appeal can provide advertising copy, collection buckets
and boxes, stickers and paying-in slips, curtain
call speeches and other support for your fundraising efforts.
