| Synopsis | A highly physical and fiercely romantic story of enduring love, set in New Zealand from the 1940s through to the present day. Tom & Elizabeth refuse to succumb to the brutality of old age and the numbing of flesh and mind, through their memories we see them relive their darkest secrets, deepest passions & heartbreaking truths. We observe them as childhood sweethearts swimming in the lake to the anger of the uncertainty of war & their realisation that throughout the moments of doubt that life has thrown at them, as long as they can be together, they wouldn’t change a thing. This is their final chance to say all the things they never had the chance to before. |

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. |

| Synopsis | Explores the responses of young people from across the world to 9/11, the war in Afghanistan and the deaths of British soldiers. Brian Haw, 'the extraordinary' anti-war campaigner, died in 2011 having camped outside the Houses of Parliament for 11 years in protest first at the sanctions against Iraq and then against the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Working with Brian’s son, Pete, writers James Atherton and Sarah Nelson and director Ellie Jones, have created a 'fascinating new political work'. |

| Synopsis | In celebration of the 2013 Britten centenary, YMT has commissioned acclaimed Northern Irish composer and writer Conor Mitchell to create a new stage work - The Dark Tower, a response to the 1946 radio play (The Dark Tower) written by Ulster poet Louis MacNiece and scored by Benjamin Britten. The radio play was inspired by Robert Browning’s 1855 poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came and Mitchell returns to some of this source material to craft a new allegory for the 21st century. |

Featuring a blend of jazz, Latin and traditional ballads, it’s a wry, contemporary look at today’s celebrity and story hungry media culture. 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 |

Under the patronage of the infamous fashion designer, Mademoiselle Parfait, the legacy of Saint-Saens only just survives. The animals that now make up the show have lost their enthusiasm for the daily performances and are at odds with each other over the updating the show clearly needs. However, the squabbling animals, led by Odette the Swan and Henri the Lion, are soon united by the arrival of four new animals, a Chimpanzee, Zebra, Parrot and Lioness, who are determined to revive the show and create Paris's newest musical sensation. No less disconcerted is Mademoiselle Parfait, who has a dark secret. |

The only remaining members of an unpopular government are its cynical Prime Minister and a naïve, emotional Foreign Secretary. The invading army has its boots upon the soil of this crumbling nation. Inside the cabinet office, toy soldiers and old icons of military glory veil the realities of war and bloodshed. Death, in a moment of truth was never so real. |

When the infuriatingly happy-go-lucky Gary is caught stealing a space craft, the pair find themselves in hot water and on the run. Tyler is dismayed (though not surprised) at his idiotic partner; but there's a silver lining - the stolen ship is the Pilgrim, the vessel of legendary treasure hunter Tim Shadow. Can they follow the clues onboard to locate Shadow's lost treasure on the other side of the galaxy? If they evade capture and escape with their lives, they could be very rich men. That's if they don't double-cross and doom each other to death and destruction first. |

| Synopsis | Luna is bored up in the sky by herself with nobody to play with. Although she is surrounded by stars, they never quite understand her - it's certainly lonely being the only moon. One night, as she's racing through space, she spots a young boy hiding from shadows that move like monsters on his bedroom walls. Luna decides to slide down from the sky to make friends with him. Together they go on an adventure of light and dark to help him overcome his fear of the night. |

| Synopsis | What’s the difference between a king and any other man? Kings need crowns and castles to prove their power, and so does Henry the Fifth. So when he starts to run out of money, all he can think about is that his neighbour’s castle is bigger than his... This classic story re-imagined asks young audiences to think twice about the next time they get into an argument and make them question what they’re fighting for. |

| Synopsis | AVENUE Q is not the most upmarket of New York streets, and is about as far away from Park Avenue as you can get, but it is home to some lively and off the wall characters performed by an unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets! Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate, has just moved to this neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life. A tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a hilarious story of self-discovery. Life may suck on AVENUE Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or porno… and that’s just the puppets) are just some of the topics featured in the songs of this show. |

| Synopsis | 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! |
