Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, Night & Day is an unromantic comedy about a passionate astronomer who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.
The story of heroine Katharine Hilbery’s bold challenge to the Edwardian patriarchy is set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement and advances in science and technology, at the turn of the 20th century.
From the files of Scotland Yard come these startling stage adaptations of infamous true-life nineteenth century crimes. During the course of this macabre performance, you'll encounter many nefarious individuals from late Victorian London, such as the infamous Whitechapel Murderer Henry Wainwright. He murdered his mistress in a particularly bloodthirsty manner, and hoped to escape justice. However, the dismembered corpse of Harriet Lane refused to stay hidden.
You will also meet the Lambeth Poisoner Dr Thomas Neill Cream, the sadistic serial killer and possibly the dreaded Jack the Ripper also. His murder spree on both sides of the Atlantic made his name a byword for horror.
The company is now in its fifteenth year of touring. We are one of the UK's busiest and hardest-working small-scale theatre companies, and we are unique in that we specialise solely in original adaptations of classic Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction, and stageworks based on actual events from that era.

Nothing Concrete is a six-piece international band based in the French Pyrenees, led by Scottish songwriter Fergus McKay.
Rooted in original songwriting, the band brings together a wide range of influences, blending blues, world music, jazz, cabaret, folk and swing into a sound that is both distinctive and hard to categorise. Their music is deeply danceable, often witty, and always alive with a sense of mischief and purpose. With sharp musicianship and a strong live presence, they create a genuinely immersive experience that's thoughtful and entertaining.
Their songs often carry a political edge, but never lose their sense of humour or playfulness. That balance of substance and style has helped define a band identity that feels eclectic yet coherent, adventurous yet accessible.
In 2025, they released their fourth album, The Imperfectionist, to widespread praise, with reviews calling it ?a masterpiece? and ?joyful, nostalgic, and just a little unpredictable.?

soulful vocals and a powerful live dynamic rooted in authenticity and feel.
Led by guitarist and
singer-songwriter Adam Sweet, the band has built a reputation as one of
the tightest and most compelling live acts on the UK blues circuit. In 2023
they were crowned Introducing Stage Winners at The Great British Rock
and Blues Festival, with this momentum continuing into nominations for UK Blues Emerging Act
of the Year at the UK Blues Awards in 2025 & 2026.
Taking his cue from the British blues boom of the late
‘60s and early ‘70s, Adam Sweet has
been carving out his own territory at the crossroads of classic rock, blues and
Americana since first hitting the live scene in the South West of England at
just 15. Having
worked in various guises; solo acoustic performer, session player and band leader; he’s
developed a consummate ability to shift effortlessly from sensitive
singer-songwriter to full-throttle blues rocker.
The Adam Sweet Band
features:
•
Garry Kroll - drums (Mark
Ronson, Joss Stone, Sandi Thom, Elles Bailey, Andrea Bocelli)
•
Paddy Blight - bass (Hollow
Souls, The Hoosiers, Andy Timmons, That Pedal Show)
•
Thomas Hughes - organ (Nektar,
Eddie Floyd, Geno Washington, Danny Bryant, The Selecter)
Renowned for
their deep groove, dynamic interplay and expressive musicianship, the band
bring Sweet’s richly detailed songwriting to life on stage. Their performances
have taken in venues and festivals across the UK including the 100 Club,
Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues
Festivals, and supports for artists such as Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras
Band and Elles Bailey.

released Live at Crescent Records, recorded and filmed live in a
single day. The accompanying video series has amassed over 100,000 views

scene.

This powerful one-woman show, starring acclaimed actress Liz
Grand, brings to life the extraordinary story of Emmeline Pankhurst,
one of the most influential and iconic British women in history. A tireless
champion of women’s rights, Pankhurst led the fight for women to gain the vote,
enduring multiple imprisonments and undertaking numerous hunger strikes in the
name of equality.
After nearly thirty years of being ignored by Parliament,
she famously turned to Direct Action. Under her leadership, the Suffragettes
escalated their campaign—throwing stones at politicians, setting fire to letter
boxes, damaging property, and chaining themselves to railings—to make their
voices impossible to ignore.
Although their determination ultimately succeeded, the path
to victory came at a great personal cost to many brave women. And despite her
pivotal role, Emmeline herself was not universally admired. Some argued that
the more confrontational methods delayed, rather than accelerated, progress.
This performance offers a compelling, intimate portrait of a
woman whose courage reshaped history—and of a movement that changed the world.

Now hear this, y’all…
Rumour has it the Wilbury brothers wuz plyin’ their trade one night in Tootsie’s Bar, Nashville, when they spotted George Harrison from The Beatles and his pal, Jeff Lynne outta the ELO in the crowd. Seems George & Jeff wuz lovin’ the show cuz they called up some friends to come along. Them friends wuz Roy Orbison, Tom Petty outta The Heartbreakers, and that Bobby Dylan himself.
After a night partyin’ n’ drinkin’, the boys allegedly decided they should all work together. Six months on, the Wilburys had heard nuthin’. Then it seems they heard their own music comin’ out of a record store. It wuz a new supergroup, callin’ ‘emselves The Traveling Wilburys.
Yes folks, it seems the Traveling
Wilburys became a tribute band to our home-spun originals!
After a lot of years, The Unravelling Wilburys decided to ‘reclaim’ their songs, puttin’ together a set of all the hits and the best stuff Dylan, Petty, Orbison, Lynne and Harrison could muster between ‘em. Then they headed for the UK, where the folks ain’t got much of a clue about Country music and took to ‘em right away. They’ve been here ever since.
With a perfect mix of superb
musicianship and comedy, the UNRAVELLING WILBURYS are brothers ‘Sticky’ Willy,
Walter, Thumper, Blind Melon and Honky Tonk, who tell their unique story on how
they became a tribute band. Now so
popular that they even got to be a question on that TV show “The Chase”, the
boys get to spend their time travelling all over the UK, from the Orkney
Islands to the Isle of Wight; from Penzance to Perth; from Southwold to South
Wales; getting rave reviews and packing out theatres along the way in towns
whose names they’ve never heard of and can’t pronounce.
The show features the best of the Wilbury albums (‘Handle With Care’; ‘The End of The Line’; ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’; ‘Tweeter & The Monkeyman’) and some of their supposedly thievin’ counterparts’ numbers like ‘Refugee’; ‘While my Guitar Gently Weeps’; ‘Like a Rollin Stone’; ‘Only the Lonely’ and ‘Mr. Blue Sky’. The act also contains the kind of comedy only a band spending far too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up.
So- turn off your hearing aid, put your Zimmer frame to one side and prepare for a great night out. It’s a journey you ain’t gonna forget in a hurry!

Synopsis:
At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a nutcracker doll. When the guests have departed and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs in search of the doll. Instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who whisks her away on a journey into a whole world of enchantment: fantastical landscapes of flurried snow and glittering confection where toys come alive and the magic never stops.
Peter Wright's production of this festive family favourite sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovsky's orchestral score, alongside the glow and grandeur of Julia Trevelyan Oman's period designs.

“Music of intelligently crafted
brilliance” 5***** Songlines Magazine
“Some of the most beautiful music the genre has to offer” 5***** Maverick Magazine
Peter Knight’s Gigspanner Trio
New Album Preview Tour
"There’s
something of the proverbial elder statesman about Peter Knight, in terms of his
place in music, which cannot be overstated. It’s not just in the quality of his
playing...there’s a focus on the sheer inventiveness of Peter’s playing, in the
adventurous arrangements he shares with his collaborators, and in his musical
leadership”
Northern
Sky Magazine
Since his
inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970, Peter Knight has
been a mainstay of the British folk scene.
Never one to
rest on his laurels, Peter has carved a reputation as a relentlessly questing
musician “as mercurial as quicksilver”, and it is never quite so
apparent as in his work with the various Gigspanner line-ups.
The Gigspanner
Trio is the beating heart from which all other lineups have evolved, and the
one most loved by many for the intimacy and joy manifest in their virtuosic
performances. Audiences revel in the opportunity to witness ‘up close and
personal’ the almost telepathic communication that exists between Peter,
guitarist Roger Flack and hand percussionist, Sacha Trochet.
This
concert is an extra special one as the Trio will be showcasing selected pieces
from their long waited new album.
Described by Folk Radio UK as one of the “most
quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond”, they
take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and
beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat,
produce richly atmospheric arrangements “with notes seemingly plucked
from the stars and rhythms from the equator” (Spiral Earth).

It’s a staggering 25 years since St Agnes Fountain first launched their unique brand of festive music into the world. Originally comprising David Hughes (guitar, vocals), Chris Leslie (fiddle, mandolin, guitar, flutes, vocals), Chris While (guitar, percussion, vocals) and Julie Matthews (keyboards, guitar, bouzouki, vocals), the band quickly carved out a sound all of their own.
Blending original Christmas songs with traditional carols, delivered in their unmistakable style, St Agnes Fountain have become an essential part of the festive season for thousands of people. So much so, they inspired the much-loved phrase: “Christmas starts with St Agnes Fountain.”
As one devoted concert-goer wrote in 2025:
“I would not mind if I missed the Christmas dinner, the pudding and mince pies, the presents and the drinks. But I would be devastated if I missed St Agnes Fountain at Christmas!”
Following David Hughes ’retirement due to ill health in 2020, and his sad passing in 2023, Chris While, Julie Matthews and Chris Leslie continued as a trio. Since then, they have released two studio albums and one live album, adding further depth to an already formidable catalogue of festive recordings.
December 2026 will see St Agnes Fountain tour their Silver Jubilee Show — a celebration of a quarter-century of music-making and festive celebrations. The show will draw from their extensive back catalogue of songs and tunes, poems and stories, as they once again raise the stained-glass arches and drape the fairy lights.
If you like Christmas, you’ll love St Agnes Fountain.

Synopsis:
An earth in ruin. The twilight of the Gods.
Deception leads to treachery, then devastation, when Siegfried is tricked into betraying Brunnhilde. Learning the truth of her beloved's innocence, Brunnhilde at last returns the ring to the Rhinemaidens, before ordering that Valhalla be swallowed in flames. For the long-awaited finale of Wagner's epic saga, director Barrie Kosky situates the rich apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil. Antonio Pappano, Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera, returns to take on the impassioned, otherworldly music including Siegfried's transporting Funeral March and Brunnhilde's electrifying Immolation Scene. The brilliant cast is led by Elisabet Strid, Andreas Schager and Mika Kares, who together with the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus bring opera's greatest journey to its shattering end.

Synopsis:
Spurred on by a bet, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality, where truth becomes increasingly unstable.
Cosi fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart's comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative, and resolutely modern, themes at the heart of the opera.

Synopsis:
At a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents' friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole, events become curiouser and curiouser. As Alice journeys through Wonderland, she encounters countless strange creatures. She's swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts, who's on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream?
Christopher Wheeldon's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an explosion of colour, stage magic and inventive, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbot's score combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. Bob Crowley's wildly imaginative, eye-popping designs draw on everything from puppetry to projections to make Wonderland wonderfully real. The result shows The Royal Ballet at its best, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment and ingenious music and design.
