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.

Step into the spotlight and experience an unforgettable celebration of Song, Dance, and Theatre as East Devon’s brightest young stars take to the stage!
Devon’s premier Dance Academy — East Devon Dance Academy — joins forces with the dynamic Honiton Community Theatre Company to bring you a dazzling, feel-good spectacular bursting with talent, energy, and pure stage magic.
A show for all ages — and one you won’t want to miss!
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.

AN AWARD-WINNING ROMANTIC PHYSICAL COMEDY FROM SKEDADDLE THEATRE & SHODDY THEATRE IN ASSOCIATION WITH YORK THEATRE ROYAL
Inspired by the timeless genius
of Mr Bean, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, A Brief Case of Crazy is
a heart-warming and hilarious physical comedy told through slick choreography,
mime, clowning and puppetry.
Meet Thomas, an awkward,
introverted office worker with a quiet crush on his equally shy colleague,
Daisy. His quest for love must contend with a boisterous boss named Simon and a
rather bothersome briefcase that drags an awkward introvert into extraordinary
events.
Will his quest for love fail? Or
will he discover, it’s what’s on the inside that counts?
A Brief Case of Crazy is a
silent love story with a very loud heart.
