In a bankrupt town in a recession-hit country, the citizens are rebelling against the corrupt Mayoress Cora Hooper. She comes up with a devious plan to reverse her fortunes and keep the town under control. But she reckons without the feisty young Fay Apple and the mysterious stranger Hapgood, who has his own plans for the town and the people who live there...

CAST:
Cast includes: Leo Andrew, Rosalie Craig, Karl Moffatt, Issy van Randwyck, Alistair Robins and David Ricardo-Pearce. With Richard Colvin, Lloyd Gorman, Deborah Hewitt, Sophie Juge, Elizabeth Reid, Rhiannon Sommers, Nick Trumble, and introducing Jessica Adair and Martha Tipper.

The team behind the sell-out success of Sondheim's Saturday Night (Jermyn Street Theatre, transferred to West End) reunites to mark Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday with a reinvention of this funny, daring and imaginative musical.

With toe-tapping choreography, a full band, and some of Sondheim's most beautiful music including 'There Won't Be Trumpets', 'Everybody Says Don't', 'With So Little To Be Sure Of' and the famous title song.

Tongue-in-cheek humour meets edge-of-the-seat suspense in this cleverly staged production set just before the outbreak of the First World War.
When Foreign Office high flyer Carruthers accepts an invitation to sail the coastline of the German Frisian Islands with an old university chum, he pictures a lazy cruise on a luxury yacht. His dreams are shattered when he finds that he and his friend Davies are the only crew aboard the converted lifeboat ‘Dulcibella’. but not even the hazards of ship-board life can prepare him for the perilous adventure to come.

Erskine Childers is considered to be the father of the modern spy novel and his book went on to inspire a generation of writers, including John Le Carré and Ian Fleming. This first-ever stage adaptation of “The Riddle of the Sands” comes to Jermyn Street following a sell-out regional tour by Chalkfoot, who earned four star reviews last year for their production of Tom McGrath’s play “Laurel and Hardy”.

CAST:
Cast: Matthew Brown and Tom Micklem

Reviews:
“Based on Childers’ surprisingly compelling tale of Edwardian, Buchan-esque derring-do and espionage in the Baltic Sea, Philip Dart’s imaginatively directed adaptation is a neat bit of theatre making in a small space, which really does evoke both period and nautical flavour.” Susan Elkin, The Stage
“Philip Dart has distilled Erskine Childers’ ripping yan into a play of the finest malt. His adaptation was inspired. There was humour, from the sometimes tongue-in-cheek stiff-upper-lip Britishness of the dialogue, but mostly the laughs came from amazement at the actors’ mental dexterity as they switched between roles and inspired use of props. I can’t remember when I have enjoyed a regional play so much from beginning to end.” IoT Gazette
