Horatio, In Thy Heart

Horatio, In Thy Heart

14 Jul 2026 - 18 Jul 2026

by Merlin Stevens directed by Arden Fitzroy presented by Achy Bits Productions One of the first things you learn about me is that I do not believe in ghosts. Scrawled in the margins of Shakespeares play, Horatio draws his breath in laughter and pain to tell the story of someone jangled out of tune himself. Horatio has followed his situationship home for Christmas break. The fact that the young man in question is heir to the throne of Denmark, and the son of a murdered warlord, soon proves to be the least of his worries. Horatio loves people deeply and hes starting to suspect that the person he loves most may be more dangerous than plague, Nordic winter, or plot devices. But when it comes to ghostly affairs, Horatio may have a secret or two up his sleeve as well. A blast of fresh air for the world of Shakespeares Hamlet, Horatio, In Thy Heartis a new play about the courage of setting boundaries and the complexity of mourning people who were bad for you. Award-winning production company Achy Bits Productions continues its tradition of revelling in the queer shadow play behind the scrim of classic texts.

Becoming Mrs Danvers by Heather Alexander
written and performed directed by Tina Pelini presented by Emul8 Theatre Power. Money. Survive The mantra of a woman determined to survive impossible odds. Becoming Mrs Danvers is a dark, electrifying new theatre work that fuses a contemporary interrogation of mental health with the tension of a psychological thriller. Sinister, intimate and relentlessly gripping, the piece draws audiences into a world of locked doors, secret rooms and fractured realities, where money, power and manipulation determine who is heard and who is erased. No handle. No exit. No mercy. At its heart is a young woman trapped within a system that has shown her no mercy. As she bucks against institutions designed to control and silence, she finds increasingly inventive ways to beat the system. Through role play, creative writing & fantasy, she claws back her humanity; but what begins as resistance skews into obsession. Identities fracture. Hidden agendas surface. The boundary between reality and psychosis dissolves. Locked doors, secret rooms they tell their own stories. Award-winning actress Heather Alexander, renowned for her powerful solo performances, delivers a tour-de-force portrayal marked by psychological precision and emotional force. Directed by Tina Pelini, Becoming Mrs Danvers combines sharp writing with striking poetic imagery to create theatre that is dark, dangerous and unforgettable.
