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.
