Early Man

21 Aug 2026 - 29 Aug 2026

For the first time since his Academy Award-winning Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Nick Park returns to the director’s chair to bring us his feature-length take on the outrageous antics of our earliest ancestors. Having outlined the project as far back as 2007, and in production since 2015, Early Man brings lovable cavemen and women to the Aardman stable of sheep, chickens and madcap inventors with canine sidekicks. “An unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters…” Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of how plucky caveman Dug, along with new pal Goona and pet sidekick Hognob, unites his tribe against Lord Nooth and his dastardly plans. Nooth and his Bronze Age followers move in on Dug’s tribal homeland and it takes a mighty effort from the Stone Age team to dislodge them by means of a challenge on their home turf. Is Dug mad to think they can beat them at their own game? With an unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters, this is another series of spectacular verbal and visual gags in the Aardman style. Added to which we have the voice talents of Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Timothy Spall, Miriam Margolyes, Richard Ayoade and Rob Brydon and a hugely entertaining – if rather novel – slice of ancient history. As one character asks, “What strange magic is this?”. The answer’s very simple. It’s Aardman magic.

Fallen Angels by Noël Coward

Fallen Angels by Noël Coward

22 Oct 2026 - 28 Nov 2026

Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen Angels, Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters. Starring Golden Globe-winner Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) and Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara (The King and I), with Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos (making his Broadway debut), Christopher Fitzgerald and Aasif Mandvi, this new Roundabout Theatre and Tony Award-winning production of ‘pure escapist fun’ (The New York Times) was filmed live on stage at Broadway’s Todd Haimes Theatre and now comes to the big screen.
