THE TROJAN WOMEN
Show Dates September 17-20 2026
Directed by Shannon Wilson, This play is a modern-day version of Euripides' anti-war play, The Trojan Women has been rewritten and is set in a mother-and-baby unit of a prison. The war is over. Beyond the prison walls, Troy and its people burn. Inside the prison, the city’s captive women await their fate. Stalking the antiseptic confines of its mother and baby unit is Hecuba, the fallen Trojan queen, whilst the pregnant Chorus is shackled to her bed. But their grief at what has been before will soon be drowned out by the horror of what is to come, as the Greek lust for vengeance consumes everything – man, woman and baby – in its path. This caustic and radical new version of Euripides’ classic tragedy comes from one of the UK’s most exciting young poets, Caroline Bird. It is an intense, gripping look at what happens when the world collapses.

Directed by J.P. Gulla - Set in 1930s New York during the Great Depression, Annie follows a spirited, red-headed orphan determined to find her birth parents. She escapes the tyrannical Miss Hannigan and her cruel orphanage, bringing infectious optimism to billionaire Oliver Warbucks and ultimately discovering the true meaning of family.
NOISES OFF
Show Dates - December 3-6 2026
Directed by Steve Winegard - Noises Off is a hilarious "play-within-a-play" by Michael Frayn that follows a second-rate, touring British theatre company.
