"Utterly inspired in its execution… This production feels alive and present."
London Theatre Reviews

"It’s standing ovation time for Sugarman [Richard]…  leading a very talented cast of great players. Every time I see this company I leave the theatre impressed… and this was no exception."
Last Minute Theatre Tickets

"The choice of reoccurring news bulletins being flashed up… really helps to hammer home important plot points and makes this play much more accessible to those that may not typically be a fan of the Bard… a very interesting take on it, performed by accomplished actors… well worth seeing."
Musical Theatre Musings

"A striking and bold reimagining of one of Shakespeare’s most enduring histories."
Broadway Baby

Richard III
By William Shakespeare

A sharp new retelling of this Shakespearean drama. Concise. Modern. Innovative.

An ambitious, manipulative, ruthless man, scheming to reach the height of power.

This retelling of one of Shakespeare’s most popular history plays does away with duels, grandly dressed nobles and pitched battles, taking us instead to the current seat of power in the United Kingdom: Westminster. 

The green benches and corridors buzz with betrayal, deception and plots as our protagonist tries to clear the obstacles blocking his route to the ultimate prize – and then to cling desperately to his position.

Combining a modern political setting with innovative technical elements and Shakespeare’s timeless prose, this fresh production will tell the old story of Richard III in a new way, connecting with those seeing the story for the first time and delighting abiding fans.

Just So

Music by George Stiles
Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
Inspired by the stories of Rudyard Kipling

Five of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories come together into a wondrous tale of personal courage, individuality and friendship. Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s famous tales are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle.

Join us on this journey with the young, effervescent and inquisitive Elephant’s Child and the sassy, sarcastic and flightless Kolokolo Bird as they set out to save their friends and family from the wicked Pau Amma who is threatening their homeland.

On our journey through this magical tale, we’ll meet a wide array of fun loving characters, from a Kangaroo who is shocked to see the rate at which his legs have grown, to a Parsee Man who lives seemingly alone with his seemingly inanimate stove…

Let the Eldest Magician take you on this wondrous tale through lush jungles, dusty savannahs and the ever looming great, grey and greasy Limpopo River in Just So this March.

AMADEUS
By Peter Shaffer

MUSIC, GENIUS, JEALOUSY AND REVENGE

"I looked on astounded as from his ordinary life he made his art. We were both ordinary men, he and I. Yet from the ordinary he created legends - and I from legends created only the ordinary!"

Antonio Salieri is the established composer in the Austrian court. Enter the greatest musical genius of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realise his sole ambition, to be a great composer. Mozart is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf, but he has something which is far beyond Salieri’s envious grasp: genius.

Peter Shaffer’s award-winning fictionalised account of the relationship between these two real life composers is a story for all time. Presented in a way which reaches far beyond the play’s historical roots, this production of Amadeus takes the audience on a wild ride through the trials and tribulations of music, genius, jealousy and revenge.

“Peter Shaffer's greatest play"
