Shakespeare In Love
Shakespeare's work has been universally embraced as one of the highest forms of literary art and his sonnets and plays have even shaped the English language as we know it. It is delightfully wicked then that Shakespeare in Love opens with the bard in the throes of writer's block, struggling to finish his next great play Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter...
Dracula - Play
A vampire lord, an unwitting solicitor, the pinnacle of gothic horror and the stage. Bram Stoker's 1897 novel is returning once more to the theater and is set to terrify and astound you. While tales of vampires have existed for millennia, it was Stoker's story that brought the bloodsucking fiends that we know and love into mainstream culture, influencing cult classics such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight. Are you ready to see where it all began?
The Play That Goes Wrong
Welcome to the opening night of 'The Murder at Haversham Manor' where students of the Cornley University Drama Society are attempting to stage this 1920s production. However, everything that can go wrong is and the opening night is quickly going from bad to disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead and actors who trip over everything they struggle to get to their final curtain call.

With the entire original creative team in tow, including breathtaking puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell. Don't miss this acclaimed new work!
