Step into the mind of young Mary Shelley, where monsters are born and creators are haunted.

As she pens her ground breaking novel, Frankenstein unfolds around her, blurring the line between imagination and reality.

This bold stage adaptation by Rona Munro breathes new life into the gothic classic, reminding us why Shelley’s chilling tale endures through the ages.

Dark. Powerful. Unforgettable.

Tickets on sale now! Opening at the Limelight Theatre on 12th September, Bleak Expectations is a show being first performed at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury in 2022.

This play is best described as a “Glorious Dickenson Romp” that Charles Dickens himself may have written after drinking too much gin.

Based on the much-acclaimed drama by Mark Evans, based on a story and a drama with A Dickenson with a dash of Monty Python, along with following half-orphan Pip’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit.

Watch as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr. Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hard thrasher siblings and deflect disaster at every turn.

Written by Janet Shaw

Directed by Barry Lefort

A comedy drama that explores a family’s current relationship problems that have resulted from a single decision taken forty years earlier. Dee and Millie haven’t spoken since 1969 and no one knows why. That’s how it would have stayed until fate took a hand when Brian and Linda, their respective children, met and married. Now they tolerate each other on social occasions but avoid each other whenever possible. It is the week of their only granddaughter’s wedding, and it is physically impossible to dodge the inevitable confrontations.

Tartuffe is a hilarious romp based on the original Moliere comedy. This modern English version by Tim Mooney, is fast-paced, saucy and very funny. It satirises religious hypocrisy, blind piety and naivety.

When the religious and odious Tartuffe wheedles his way into the wealthy Orgon’s good books, he is taken into his home and given the best of everything. Outwardly pious, but inwardly lustful, Tartuffe, is promised Orgon’s daughter Mariane’s hand in marriage. This does not go down well with the rest of the family, who see through his hypocrisy and his crafty manipulations and join forces to plot against him and expose him for what he is.

“The Greening of Grace” by William Zappa – directed by Tim Riessen

Grace reflects on the journey to being green, and what this means for her. The traumatic event that triggered this metamorphosis is one part. Other events, caused by her family, well-meaning as they are, are also catalysts to bringing on this change. The play explores the power of family, despite the age of its members, and how a new life purpose can emerge, even later in life.

Please be advised that the “The Greening of Grace” contains material that some patrons may find confronting, offensive, or a cause for distress. With this in mind, if you do not wish to see this play, please contact TAZ Tix for a refund.

“150 Years of the Roman Empire in 30 Minutes” – written and directed by Zavier Wileman

Three historians, one history – or so you would think. But when it comes to the Ancient Romans, historical accuracy suffers at the hands of propaganda, gossip and rumour. “150 Years of Roman History in 30 Minutes” is a humorous re-telling of Ancient Roman political history starting with the reign of Caesar in 46BC and ending with Domitian’s reign up until 96AD. Will the historians be able to agree on anything? And most importantly: will they be able to entertain the restless guests of a Roman dinner party with their stories?
