An Introduction to Playwriting : Staged Readings

Fri 15th October 2021 7:30PM

Two new playwrights, Daniel Allen and Jason Lever, present new writing developed on ACT's Introduction to Playwriting course.

Macbeth

Sun 31st October 2021 6:00PM

Directed by Beth Wood

A powerful and haunting adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

When Macbeth kills Duncan and all that is best in himself, the world turns upside down.

Beautiful poetry hits against heightened horror in this ensemble-focused retelling, drawing us into a world of festering ambition and hunger for power that seems frighteningly like our own.

Performance time 1 hour

Coronavirus – A Great British Farce

Thu 11 Nov 2021, 7:30PM

Joe went a little bit mad during lockdown – just like you did – and it’s hilariously cathartic to watch. This smash-hit Camden Fringe show is inspired by the writer’s ridiculous lockdown diaries – and it’s the best way to laugh away the trauma of the past 18 months.

“Funny, intelligent, satirical” ⭐⭐⭐⭐, Theatre News
“The catharsis we all need” ⭐⭐⭐⭐, London Pub Theatres
“Thanks to Joe, I no longer feel quite so alone” ⭐⭐⭐⭐, A Younger Theatre

Lord God

When the Lord God is persuaded by his retainer and chief-cook-and-bottle-washer Gabriel to take an incognito holiday in a Devonshire seaside hotel he looks forward to a fortnight of uninterrupted tennis, billiards, tea on the terrace and the latest Agatha Christie. But the presence of campaigning atheist Professor 'Minty' Tweddle and her fiance, notoriously hard-to-please theatre critic Rex Addison, upsets His plans and leads to all manner of supernatural scrapes, japes and narrow escapes and the invention of a hot new global dance craze.

From the writers of 'The Ministry of Biscuits' and 'Pugs of the Frozen North' stage show
- author Philip Reeve (Mortal Engines) and playwright and composer Brian Mitchell ('Those Magnificent Men') - comes the divine new musical comedy Lord God.

Loop

Fri 26th November 2021 7:30PM

Tiny Room Theatre Company presents ‘Loop’ written by Peter Mulligan and directed by Joe Idris-Roberts. This short drama shows a snapshot of life with depression.

Ghost Stories for Christmas 2021

Thu 16 Dec - Sat 18 Dec 2021, 8:00PM

Have yourself a scary little Christmas….

Brighton’s original Ghost Stories for Christmas returns to The Lantern Theatre, featuring a trio of spine tingling tales from masters of horror Ramsey Campbell and John Paul Fitch and, for the first time, award winning novelist Kate Mosse.

This year's show promises tales of horror, melancholy and dark humour and features a ghostly bride, malevolent decorations and a rather unusual Christmas miracle. Please note that this production, which contains strong language, is not suitable for children.

Two Way Mirror by Arthur Miller

Sat 19th March 2022 7:30PM

A double bill of short plays for the same two actors, looking at relationships, reality and how we interact and view one another, and doing so in a witty, fast-paced, dark but warm way.

It is also regarded by many as Miller's only oblique artistic exploration of his failed marriage to Marilyn Monroe.
