I will say to His excellency: 'Your worshipful son has an eye for my daughter. My daughter is not good enough to be your worshipful son's wife, but far too good to be your worshipful son's whore. and that's that.' Unable to conceal their desire for each other, Ferdinand and Louisa - a noble soldier and the daughter of a lowborn musician - are at odds with their entire society. an ambitious President is threatened, a powerful countess is rejected, a violinist is driven to a breakdown and the slick political operator, Worm, is hired to plot their separation.

Top of PageJoan Of Arc
Synopsis:
The play tells its own variation on Joan's life - one could hardly argue it is historically inaccurate - which repositions La Pucelle as a defiantly active warrior in the Dauphin's forces as the French Crown struggles against the combined forces of the Duke of Burgundy and Henry VI of England. That she was a peasant girl who received religious visions only added to her allure when her talismanic presence proved decisive in turning the military tide but the natural suspicion of anything different, combined with Joan's internal dilemmas about the validity of her spirituality, allows the seeds to be sown for her downfall (even if it plays out in an unexpected manner). - See more at: http://oughttobeclowns.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/review-joan-of-arc-new-diorama.php#sthash.WgDCgOdV.dpuf

Top of PageMary Stuart
Synopsis:
A political prisoner is accused of religious extremism, incitement of war and masterminding assassination. She has been retrospectively charged with a law that was invented specifically for her. She has been denied access to witnesses and found guilty by a jury but not a jury of her peers. That would be impossible; her only peer is Queen Elizabeth I. This presents Elizabeth with a terrifying dilEmma: to reign in fear for the rest of her life or to have her cousin and fellow queen executed.

Synopsis:
Tom Ripley is a nobody given the unexpected chance to make a name for himself in Europe. When he first meets Dickie Greenleaf, Tom's skills for forging signatures, telling lies and impersonating just about anybody are nothing more than impressive games. But as his friendship with Dickie grows to obsession, Tom's talents have very dangerous consequences. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the novel's publication, multi-award-winning ensemble The Faction breathes fresh life into Patricia Highsmith's extraordinary psychological thriller about ambition, escapism, and murder.
