Sarah Kane is one of the most controversial and ground-breaking new playwrights of the late 20th Century. Inspired by Bond, Artaud, Beckett and Pinter, Sarah Kane represents the new wave of British Contemporary playwrights. Her final play, 4.48 Psychosis was performed posthumously following her tragic suicide in 1999 and represents the culmination of her quest for new forms of theatre based on visceral personal experience. A stark experience of the internal world of a clinical depressive on the verge of suicide, 4.48 Psychosis is viewed as one of the most challenging works to have come out of Britain in the 1990s.

by George Bernard Shaw
“Shocking” plays from the Victorian era often don’t seem that shocking to modern audiences, but who wouldn’t be shocked to find out that not only is their mother a prostitute, they could be engaged to their own brother? A witty and hard hitting play about the world’s oldest profession that was banned for 35 years. The cast includes a sleazy vicar, a turn of the century pimp, the most unromantic heroine you’ve ever seen, and of course, Mrs Warren herself.

Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas is essentially a leap twenty years into the future, right here in the UK. A look at how far popular culture and politics could have moved; it examines the idea of reality TV in determining whether contestants may gain British citizenship. On a more personal note it explores the friendship of two people who have just entered a foreign environment together and their battle of morality against desire for the prize.

4th - 7th June
The pilgrimage tradition is turned on its head in this spectacular production as two jaded American women take a trip to India. Plagued by their pasts, Katherine Brynne and Margaret Civil travel the length and breath of the country looking to 'heal' their souls. In their adventures, they are accompanied by none other than the elephant-headed God, Ganesh! Fluid in his guises, he appears before them in different forms-from a Japanese tourist to a leper-until a breathtaking release arrives for both women at his hands.
Doors 7.15pm
