Darktales

Synopsis:
Horror story and psychological thriller. Strangers meet in a dimly lit library and confess sinister fears and desires. Macabre tales reveal dark corrupt minds, in hushed and whispered tones we are led through a maze of nightmare images, of escaped maniacs, or unrequited love, and of ghostly warnings unheeded.

Silver Ghosts and Spitfires

Synopsis:
This moving and heart-warming tale follows four generations of a Derby family as their lives are touched by the growth and success of one of the world's most famous engineering companies. If Charles Rolls were looking down from heaven, this drama of love, courage and determination would surely show him that his meeting with Henry Royce in 1904 was the start of something truly remarkable. From the turn of the century, through the second world war and right up to modern times, this is an epic story about fulfilling potential and making every moment count.

Sunny Side Of the Street

Synopsis:
The Dorothy Fields' Song book is fondly remembered by a group of gorgeous women who bring to life her stunning lyrics. These friends and foes meet at Dorothy's, London's foremost hair salon, to gossip and put the world to rights in this musical revue. Laughter, love, sadness, and sympathy are just some of the emotions shared over the shampoo and tongs and in this wonderful evening of music and song to salute Broadway's finest lyricist. From the mid 1920's to her death in 1974 Dorothy worked as a lyricist and book writer with the finest composers in theatre and film including Jerome Kern, Cy Coleman, Irving Berlin and Harold Arlen. Her songs are timeless and in addition to the numerous hits from Sweet Charity number amongst them I Can't Give You Anything But Love, A Fine Romance and The Way You Look Tonight.

This Year Will Be Different

Synopsis:
a brand shiny new year! Will your dreams come true? Will your goals be met? Or will you be hiding under the duvet? Whatever 2012 may bring, start it off right by heading to theatre503 for our first-week-of-the-year extravaganza. This is new writing with a difference - we've paired playwrights with video artists, animators and illustrators and asked them to create short pieces of theatre that focus on visual storytelling. Based on texts, tweets and photos from members of the public, the resulting show explores just what our annual New Year rituals reveal - and what lies behind all those smiling Facebook pictures. . .
