Liz Lochhead's
MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS GOT HER
HEAD CHOPPED OFF


Exploring the rivalry and mutual fascination between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I, Liz Lochhead’s play re-tells this murky tale of political and sexual intrigue with ferocious wit and innovation.


Lyn Gardner's Critic's Choice

THE GUARDIAN


"Raw, rough and sometimes as knottily and Scottishly idiomatic as any flight of Robert Burns... endlessly inventive"

WHATSONSTAGE.COM


"This seldom-told tale is highly engaging... the cast is one of the strongest I've seen on the London Fringe"

A YOUNGER THEATRE

Thornton Wilder's
OUR TOWN

The UK's official 75th anniversary production of Thornton Wilder's seminal 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

Our Town has been performed somewhere in the United States every night since its premiere. Following a generation of villagers in a small New England town—through their daily lives, loves, marriages, and deaths—it is as famous for its portrayal of turn-of-the-century America as it is for its unique theatricality and timeless themes.


Directed by Off-West End Award nominee Tim Sullivan and featuring a cast assembled from eight different countries around the world, the streets of tiny Grover’s Corners stretch globally to underscore the true universality of Our Town.


26 June - 20 July
