From dark comedy and mystery to political drama, psychological suspense, and haunting reflections on memory and loss, this years festival brings together six striking new works from bold voices in contemporary theatre. Expect the unexpected: a journalist confronted by a terrifyingly hungry green bin, a chilling death-row encounter with an unexpected twist, a young woman trapped in an impossible loop of time, and stories that reach from 1838 to present-day London. Each play offers its own world, yet together they form a compelling journey through justice, belief, fear, grief, and the strange corners of the human imagination. Provocative, moving, and richly theatrical, this is an evening designed to linger long after the final curtain. Join us for a celebration of new writing, daring ideas, and the power of live performance.
