The news that a government inspector is due to arrive in a small Russian town sends its bureaucrats into a panicked frenzy. A simple case of mistaken identity exposes the hypocrisy and corruption at the heart of the town in this biting moral satire.

Love at first sight. The moment your eyes meet and everything changes. But behind that instant are a thousand others, people and places those eyes have seen that will always haunt you. Based on Anouilhs classic Eurydice, this new version is a new twist on the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice. Its a love story for the ages, but here we see them fall in love for the first time. A train station cafe is not a fertile ground for romance, but that is where our two lovers meet, thrown together by fate and Britains terrible train service. Their new love leads them to run away from their former lives and loved ones, but too soon the bliss of their little hotel room is under threat from the ghosts of a past that refuses to leave them alone. When Eurydice disappears, Orpheus is given an ultimatum: how far is he willing to go to see Eurydice again? Part rom-com, part surreal nightmare, Eurydice re-examines myth in a modern world; can true love still survive when everything is breaking down?

A riotous, witty reclaiming of the life of an exceptional woman. Four hundred years ago, Emilia Bassano wanted her voice to be heard. It wasn't. Could she have been the 'Dark Lady' of Shakespeare's sonnets? What of her own poetry? Why was her story erased from history? In Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's electrifying play, Emilia and her sisters reach out across the centuries with passion, fury, laughter and song.

Young Will Shakespeare has writer's block. The deadline for his new play is fast approaching, but he's in desperate need of inspiration. That is, until he finds his muse... the feisty, brilliant and beautiful Viola. This crafty young woman is Wills greatest admirer and will stop at nothing (including breaking the law) to appear in his next play. Against a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Wills love for Viola quickly blossoms, inspiring him to write his greatest romantic masterpiece.
