The iconic musical RENT is about
falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. It has
become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story
that audiences of all ages can relate to. Jonathan Larson’s RENT
follows 'a year in the life' of a group of young artists
struggling to survive at the end of the millennium,
following their dreams, loves and conflicts. Don’t miss this
ground breaking musical sensation that won the Tony Award for
best musical, ran for twelve years on Broadway and would go on to
inspire the smash hit musical Hamilton.
This show is produced by Bite My Thumb, a
community arts group.

Tom
Houghton: Honour Tour

|
|
|
|
|
“The Honourable” Tom Houghton has
been storming the comedy circuit with his hilarious stories
and sharp-eyed silver spoon observations.
The total fringe sell-out, star of Comedy
Central’s Roast Battle and critically-acclaimed
star of BBC and Channel 4’s First Dates,
Tom is the ultra-privileged master of making the seemingly
unrelatable, relatable.
You can expect to see larger than life
characters, hilarious mis-adventures and discover that true
honour often lies where you’d least expect.
Presented by Phil McIntyre Live Ltd by arrangement with
Casarotto Ramsay and Associates Ltd.

Dispatches on the Red Dress is an intimate and courageous new show by Rowan
Rheingans (BBC Radio 2 folk award-winning songwriter)
and dramaturg Liam Hurley.
Unravelling the joy and pain from a story of
her grandmother’s youth in 1940s Germany, Rowan celebrates
small acts of resistance and boldly asks a troubling
question for our times: can hope for our future be found in
the very darkest pockets of our history?

Man, bird or angel? Who, or what, is Skellig?
When Michael steps into the crumbling garage, he
discovers something beneath the spider webs and dead flies. A

Michael’s world changes forever.
Winner of the Carnegie Medal and Whitbread
Children’s Book Award, this play is David Almond’s adaptation of
his celebrated novel.
This show is produced by Concord Theatricals
Ltd, a community arts group, on behalf of Samuel French
Ltd.
