Excerpts of the following shows will be presented:

#50Days by Thabo Stuck tells the story of the period that led up to an outbreak of the 17th century British Civil Wars. Set to a Grime score, the show gives audiences a chance to interpret the narrative of a time when this country was politically fraught, in the shadow of a plague, and felt well and truly divided. Does this sound familiar?

Becoming Nigella is a new two-character chamber musical by Emily Rose SimonsThe two characters are Anna, a work-obsessed Soho-dweller, and Nigella Lawson who is, well, Nigella Lawson (played by Tanya Truman). The musical begins when Anna inherits Lawson’s seminal cookbook, How to Eat, from her estranged mother and, along with the book, the spirit of Nigella Lawson who strongly nudges Anna into the joy of living, learning and, most importantly, eating one recipe at a time. Expect laughter, tears, roast chickens and mee-cro-wa-veys galore through song, food and very imperfect cooking demonstrations.

FLITCH is written by Clare Packham and Fintan Kealy. Can a couple conclusively prove they haven’t argued all year? Since 1104, Great Dunmow has hosted the Flitch Trials, an otherwise lost tradition. In the trials, married couples convince a mock court that they haven’t argued for one year and one day. Upon satisfying the jury, they win a flitch of bacon. FLITCH follows 6 married couples, alongside costumed townsfolk performing roles of the court. In this world where pop-meets-medieval and Kurt Weill meets Lily Allen, we’ll give couples permission to argue, provincial traditions permission to evolve, and communities the opportunity to celebrate their absurd histories.

The Highwayman is written by Kitty Morgan. Welcome, lovelies, to this tub-thumping, pub-singalong, which pits the year 1666 against modern day issues of social injustice, violence against women and cost of living crisis.

Featuring a majority-female, inclusive and neuro-diverse cast, the innovative sound-world submerges the audience in “Pimped-up Folk” which joyously reimagines pub sing-alongs and folk ballads in super contemporary arrangements, from electro swing to Adele, with a sprinkling of Billie Eilish.

As George battles the perishing cold with his trusted companion, Sandy Irvine, a kinetic ensemble recreates his adventures from the small town of Mobberley to the top of the world. We’re 800ft from the summit and a storm is closing in. To push on would be perilous; to turn back would mean failure…so what is it worth?

Unrelated lives, voices and accordions weave together into a lovably dysfunctional family.
