William Shakespeare
Directed and designed by Neil Bartlett
Pericles is a journey. At the beginning, there’s an old man with
a story to tell, and a young man with a riddle to solve. Fourteen years
later, after shipwrecks and resurrections, palaces and brothels, marriagebeds
and murders, the story is finally told; the journey has been made –
and the riddle is answered in a blaze of light.

13 Mics - Join Benji as he astral
travels from bebop to hip-hop and all stops in between,
accompanied by a 2 piece band and DJ. 13 Mics is an exploration of the
iconography of the
microphone. Using the hi-energy of freestyle popping, text and rap, Benji
works as a human
sampler to create a montage of the 20th-Century.
The Pugilist - Follow the path of
two men on the same journey. Both are trying to overcome their fears and
truly live as free men.

Lucy thinks she's finally cracked
the love thing - Joe, her handsome American boyfriend is moving over to
London. So how come he seems to be heading for the emergency exit? Lucy's
best friend Scarlet is on an endless carousel of losers, users and married
men. Her Dad just thinks we're all better off flying solo. But when mysterious
Kiwi Gabriel arrives in their midst and starts showing an unhealthy interest
in Lucy, it seems that everyone's baggage is finally coming out on display.
What does it take to escape the past?
And what can you do when people just make you sick?

Havana 1991. In the claustrophobic family home, Maria Celia and Sofia
remain under house arrest. With the world changing outside their door,
frustration builds like the overpowering summer heat. Taking refuge in
writing and music the sisters struggle daily to keep their passion and
art alive. When censorship denies Maria Celia her husband’s love
letters, Lieutenant Portuondo offers to read them to her, but at a price.
The sisters must then decide whether to take a dangerous chance on freedom.
Winner of the Kennedy Center Prize
for New American Plays Award, Nilo Cruz’s hauntingly atmospheric
and moving play blends music, dance and sensuality to create a thrilling
evocation of Cuban spirit at a time of change. Live
piano music by the Cuban composer Lecuona
