| Synopsis | Before Cinderella had her fairy godmother. Before Snow White had seven dwarfs. Even before Diana Ross had the Supremes, Bosstock had Rumpkin (who are the west country’s answer to Ant and Dec). Our Tale follows this comedy pair as they retell their version of King Arthur and the Knights Of the (not so) round table, unfortunately there memories and storytelling is about as good as their singing so prepare to get sidetracked quite a bit! Our tale has everything you need, a dangerous villain the evil Sir Backstabber, a brave hero Casey, a beautiful maiden Carol and a powerful wizard Merlot, who is a bit like a drunk Michael Fish in a hat. Our tale has singing (some of which is in tune), dancing, more jokes than something with less jokes in it and more cliff hangers than Eastenders.
Will Casey save the day? Will Carol marry her French prince suitor? Will Merlin find her going out wand? Will King Arthur ever find a round table? Does anybody care? Come and see the Sword and the Dope to find out! |

| Synopsis | At the age of 36, Franz Kafka was driven to write a letter to the father that he feared, addressing his harsh and authoritarian treatment of his son and the humiliations he inflicted on him. The resulting letter, over 100 pages long, was read by his sister and his mother, but not one word was read by his father. Set in the imagination of Franz Kafka, the play is a retelling of his childhood trials and traumas; as much a self-accusation as an accusation against his father, as much self-examination as cross-examination. |

| Synopsis | 1623 John Heminges returns to his house on the site of the Globe Theatre with a precious package – the first edition of Wiliiam Shakesepeare’s “Comedies, Histories and Tragedies” which he has just collected from the printer, Isaac Jaggard. Heminges and Henry Condell have spent seven years since William’s death looking through prompt books, cue scripts, plot sheets, William’s own writings, searching through the Tiring House of the Globe and studying previously printed versions of his plays. Finally they amassed an exhaustive collection and working with the Jaggards – William and Isaac – they have produced this wonderful document. Sitting down to study the result of his work, John Heminges reminisces about his life-long friendship with “Young Will” which had started 36 years before, in the White Swan in Stratford when William was 23 and John 31. Throughout his working life John had been at William’s side, advising him and acting in his plays as well as managing The Chamberlain’s (now The King’s) Men, steering the company of which Will was such an important member, through the troubled waters of Elizabethan and Jacobean politics, organising royal patronage, fending off the tiresome Puritans and threats from the Plague |

That would be impossible; her only peer is Queen Elizabeth I. This presents Elizabeth with a terrifying dilemma: to reign in fear for the rest of her life or to have her cousin and fellow queen executed. |

Lady Denison has learned the lesson preached by Mr Hylton, the founder of the Church of Humanity, that ‘false hospitality is inviting people because you like them. True hospitality is inviting them because they’d like to be asked’. And although her daughter is of the same mind, she has a sister who thinks very differently. |

| Synopsis | As the war approaches, the family is torn by differing attitudes to the coming conflict. Conscientious objections are not easy principles to espouse at such a time and in such a family. ‘Those that we call traitors may be the heroes – the men of conscience and ideals. It’s my work to look into men’s souls. It’s truth I want, not this blatant simplicity. We are to be all one now. What a time! The day of the cheap patriot has come.’ |

| Synopsis | Autobiographical, political, raucous and accidentally profound, Boy in a Dress details the life thus far, of one third-gendered, fallen Catholic, ex-fashion model from the wrong side of the tracks as she moves from the council estates of Bootle to the strip clubs of San Francisco, via Penny Arcade’s living room. Embracing themes as apparently diverse as Catholicism and drag, public sexuality and body dysmorphia, La JohnJoseph brings together an outrageous but heartfelt slew of true-life tales presented as monologues, and studded with reworkings of iconic songs from wide ranging artists such as Leonard Cohen, Justin Vivian Bond and Cole Porter. |
