Fiji Land

Fiji Land
Look. no one cares. no one cares what we do as long as we're here, doing what we're told Welcome to Fiji Land. Things are very simple here. Follow orders. Fight the good fight. You can even take photos. Grainer's new. He asked to come over here. Wolstead likes to watch people while they sleep. Meanwhile, Tanc's here to do what he's told and do it proper. Fiji Land is a surreal and incisive play about the very real things that happen when cell doors shut and the world looks away. "as long as we're safe, we don't want to know what's going on to keep it that way, do we?"

Mirror Teeth

Mirror Teeth
Jane is a housewife. James sells guns. they live in one of the larger cities in our country and are both terrified of ethnic youths who might well be wearing hoods and carrying knives, or something. all is well in the Jones household, until their sexually frustrated eighteen year old daughter Jenny brings home her new boyfriend, Kwese abalo. . .a visceral, smart, brutally hilarious play about prejudice, arms dealing, and what it means to be english.

Sand

Synopsis:
Don't forget about the little boy. On the swing. Ninety million miles above him is a single sun. In eight minutes and fifteen seconds the light it's released will have travelled across space and will strike his retina as he turns his eyes directly into it. When one woman collaborates in the development of a nuclear bomb, she becomes all things - every victim, every person in every possible time, even the explosion itself. As time and space fracture and the certainties of life fall away, a child is lost and civilisations fall, the mind corrodes and space expands. What will be left in the aftermath?

Trial, The

Trial, The
Josef K's thirtieth birthday begins with a knock on his door from two sinister agents. They're from an unidentified agency, here to arrest him for unidentified crimes. But this is no birthday prank - this is life or death. So begins K's dark descent into a waking nightmare of bizarre humiliations and compulsive procedures. The Olivier Award-winning Rory Kinnear (Hamlet, Skyfall) leads the cast of this new production, directed by Richard Jones and designed by Miriam Buether in a new adaptation by Nick Gill.
