directed by Alex Donald presented by The Bridge House Theatre The award winning Bridge House Theatre are delighted to be returning to The Jack Studio theatre with their new show. Shut that door! Larry Grayson, one of the countrys best-loved light entertainers, is back from The Other Side (no, not ITV) to tell the story of his extraordinary life. Larry was the camp stand-up who, with his innuendo-laden tales, told stories of friends like Everard and Slack Alice. In this fusion of autobiographical reminiscing and stand-up, Larry reveals all. From his birth in 1923 to an unmarried mother at a time when such things brought nothing but shame, to his fostering by a hard-working miner and his family, Larry maintained an incredible drive to become a variety star at a time when variety was dying. Drag artist, comedian, song-and-dance man, Larry did it all, but he was consigned to showbusiness oblivion by an early TV appearance. No one, least of all Larry, expected him to become a major light entertainment star later in life, with his shows watched by over 20 million people on Saturday nights in the 1970s and 1980s. A gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was marginalised by his own sexuality, but was also bizarrely targeted by the Gay Liberation Front for not being what they wanted to promote. The camp comic who paved the way for so many others, he is now in danger of being forgotten. So spend an evening with Larry, his hilarious friends, his anecdotes and catchphrases, and the humour of the decades he lived though, and find out what he did in the Rolls Royce that he could not drive.

directed by Clare Stopford presented by Shooting Star Studios Celebrated South African playwright Rajesh Gopies award-winning play, Out of Bounds, returns to the London stage for a limited run at the Jack Studio Out of Boundsis the coming-of-age journey of Lall Lalchund, a South African Indian teenager grappling with the turbulence of adolescence within a vibrant and chaotic extended family in Inanda, Durban. Through Lalls eyes, we are drawn into a heartfelt quest to find oneself in a society fractured by race, tradition and expectation. Set against the charged backdrop of 1980s apartheid South Africa, this masterful work is an exploration of identity, family and cultural heritage. As resonant today as it was at its debut, Out of Bounds is a moving journey through memory and identity. Out of Bounds has toured internationally, captivating audiences across South Africa, the United Kingdom, India, and the United States. It was honoured with the prestigious Fleur du Cap Award for Best New Indigenous Script in 2001. After 13 years on stage, both in South Africa and abroad, Out of Bounds is as relevant as ever.

directed by Cecilia Thoden van Velzen presented by Third Thing Productions Set against the backdrop of widespread social and political unrest in turn-of-the-century Tsarist Russia, Oscar Wildes little-known first play is a gripping and provocative story of idealism, conspiracy, and corruption. As social unrest sweeps across Russia, a young woman by the name of Vera Sabouroff travels to Moscow to avenge her brothers unjust imprisonment. Driven initially by a desire for vengeance, Vera becomes embroiled with a secretive faction of social radicals known as the Nihilists and rapidly becomes their most proficient assassin. United only by their rejection of societal norms and their desire to spark a nationwide revolution, the group hatch a daring plot to murder the Czar and free their nation from the grip of tyranny. But when her ideals are brought into conflict with her heart, Vera finds herself doubting the cause for which she has risked everything. The curing of Russia is a surgeons business and done by the knife. Oscar Wilde wrote Vera; or, The Nihilists, a drama about Russian revolutionaries, a decade before he made his name with his first society comedy, Lady Windermeres Fan. A planned one-off performance in London in 1881 was cancelled, possibly due to the plays controversial politics, and the New York premiere was a flop: Wilde described it as the sharpest agony of his life. This production the first-ever London revival is directed and reconceptualised by Cecilia Thoden van Velzen, founder of production company Greensleeved. It is the debut producton from Third Thing Productions.
