SUMMARY:1984
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Box Tale Soup present a stunning new adaptation of Orwell’s dystopian classic. \nKnown for their ingenious sets and slick storytelling\, Box Tale Soup’s unique puppetry becomes a striking metaphor for Orwell’s chilling vision of power and control. \nThe year is 1984\, perhaps – it is impossible to tell for certain. We are being watched\, Big Brother is everywhere\, truth changes daily\, and everyone conforms. But for Winston Smith\, an insignificant cog in the Party’s vast machine\, this half-life is not enough. He dreams of freedom\, but is he the only one? Dreams can be deadly when rebellion begins with a thought. \nFeaturing the voices of Sophie Aldred and Joanna Lumley\, with Simon Russell Beale as the voice of Big Brother.

SUMMARY:Collaborator
DESCRIPTION:Ockham’s Razor return with an intimate duet crafted and performed by the two Artistic Directors. \nFor 20 years\, Alex and Charlotte have been making circus together. Lifting\, catching and carrying; stepping on and around each other. They have been dropped. They have picked each other up. \nFeaturing two performers\, a suspended frame and a stage: this is a show about creation and compromise. An irreverent\, highly physical and heartfelt dive into navigating a relationship and the negotiation involved in making stuff. \nFor anyone who has ever tried to make something with someone else: a decision\, a work of art\, a life.

SUMMARY:Parody of the Rings: A Hilarious and Epic Adventure!
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a cinema’s Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong? \nAt the local cinema\, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand\, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy\, chaos\, and utter nonsense\, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits\, elves\, and orcs – without any visuals\, any planning\, or any clue what they’re doing. \nWill Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?! \nIt’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits\, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects\, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next\, then you’re in for a hilarious treat!

SUMMARY:Susie Dent: Word Perfect
DESCRIPTION:A brand-new tour of the joys of the English language with Britain’s best-loved wordsmith. \nFollowing on from her hit show The Secret Life of Words\, Susie Dent is back with a brand-new collection of facts and stories from the wonderful world of words. \nHave you ever wondered whether there’s a word for going to the fridge for the umpteenth time in search of something new? Or puzzled over the reason why a group of crows is called a ‘murder’\, while owls form a ‘parliament’? Is teen slang actually designed to make us tear our hair out? And just how many words do we need for being drunk? \nWith the help of funny\, insightful\, and head-scratching examples\, Susie will entertain and educate us with her pick of language’s greatest hits. Word Perfect will remind us just how unpredictable\, wayward\, and utterly magical the English language can be.

SUMMARY:Victoria: A Queen Unbound
DESCRIPTION:“Diaries survive while feelings slip away. They are the skeleton on which posterity puts flesh.” \nOsborne House 1901. As Victoria faces the final days of her reign\, she clings to her diaries\, the carefully kept record of a life defined by love\, duty and profound loss. Into this certainty comes her younger self\, forcing the older Victoria to confront memories she’s chosen to bury and truths she’s decided to forget. \nVictoria and Albert are celebrated as one of history’s great love stories. Victoria had nine children with Albert\, and after his premature death at 42\, she spent the rest of her life mourning her ‘dearest angel’. At least that is the story told in her diaries. But does writing something make it true? Looking back at a young queen\, this new play tells the story of a woman pregnant for most of her 20s and 30s\, gradually surrendering her strength and authority to her controlling husband\, and growing increasingly lonely in her crumbling marriage. \nA world premiere\, from Daisy Goodwin\, the creator of the novel and ITV drama\, Victoria\, this new play offers a fresh perspective on one of history’s greatest monarchs. \nYou can find all performance times and book your tickets via the link below.
