He also features some songwriters whose names you might not recognise at first, despite being familiar with all their songs that made such a huge impact in the world of entertainment.

How Margaret Thatcher first won and then lost the Conservative leadership. The play concentrates on the personalities, rivalries and machinations involved in the leadership battles and does not set out to take a pro- or anti-Thatcher stance. Mrs Thatcher blamed her loss of office on the deceitful treachery of Geoffrey Howe, the irresponsible ambition of Michael Heseltine, tawdry Cabinet disloyalty and contemptible backbench weakness. But was that the whole story?

After a sell-out run at The Phoenix Arts Club, MY NAME IS GEF, a “hilarious, horrifying and thought-provoking” new actor-muso, folk-horror, comedy musical comes to workshop at Upstairs at the Gatehouse for two afternoons only! Renowned and ridiculed psychoanalyst Dr. Nandor Fodor has one last chance to prove himself to the scientific elites he longs to be accepted by. Sent to the remote Isle of Man, he’s tasked with investigating the paranormal events and spooky phenomena occurring on the Irving family farm, whose daughter claims to be haunted by the hideous and terrifying vision of... a talking mongoose called Gef (pronounced 'Jeff'). What follows is a mystery investigating the supernatural, the human psyche, and what makes us hide our real selves. Based on the infamous true events, this actor-musician, multi-instrumental, folk musical by Wiltshire & Wells is a fast-paced, hilarious, and unbelievable story, adapted from (arguably) the world’s first viral sensation. A true old wives’ tale exploring the madness, the malignancy, and the mirth caused by one ghostly, muttering mongoose... the question is: how willing are you to BELIEVE?

Celebrated today for his groundbreaking romantic poetry and acclaimed intellect, in 1812 Percy Shelley was seen as a dangerous radical by the establishment. Expelled from Oxford for his atheism he then scandalously eloped with Harriet Westbrook and the two of them went to Dublin to campaign for Irish independence. The play opens with Shelley fleeing Ireland with his young wife, his support for the failed rebellion making him a marked man. Their notoriety has led to constant surveillance by order of the Home Secretary and we meet them in North Devon trying to rebuild their lives and their political ambitions. Playwright Richard Bradbury explores the impact of political surveillance on relationships and what we can learn from the past now that we live in a world where we are constantly watched and recorded. Linking the past and present is an ever present theme in his work. Commissioned by the GLA for their commemoration of the two hundred year anniversary of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade his play ‘Become a Man’ about escaped slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass (London City Hall and the Hackney Empire) explored our contemporary response to slavery in the context of it’s history.

Following a successful showcase at Theatre at The Tabard in 2024, The Crooked Billets brings Peter Mottley’s double bill of forgotten gems to Upstairs at The Gatehouse for a special two week run. Written in the 1980s, these thrilling one-handers use Shakespeare’s Henry V as a framework to explore themes of coming-of-age, class, PTSD, and the real human cost of war. Before Nell is told through the eyes of a boy actor preparing to take the stage as Nell Quickly AKA Madame Pistol in the first ever production of Henry V. It presents a heart-breaking, darkly comic and meticulously researched insight into the hardships and social dynamics of the time. After Agincourt is a visceral and brutal recounting of the English invasion of France in 1415. Set in The Boar's Head Tavern seven years later, a drunk and bitter Pistol details the campaign of bloody battles in vivid modern vernacular at the same time tearing down the heroic picture of King Henry V we’re so familiar with.
