Daughter of Sweden – That One Princess Who Got Drunk with Lizzie I and Thrown Out of England

Award-winning one-woman show, bringing royal scandal and the high seas to life. When Sweden's 19-year-old Princess Cecilia Vasa is caught with a lover in 1559, Europe thinks the scandal will tame the harlot. But Cecilia is just getting started. Condemned, filthy rich and yearning for freedom, she enters Renaissance Europe where war, chastity and men rule. Could friendship with Queen Elizabeth I of England grant her the independence she craves – or why not a life of piracy? Translated into English.

Trains in the Night

A sapphic coming-of-age musical for anyone who has ever been “just friends” with the love of their life. Celine and Margot have spent five years on opposite sides of the country, sustained by late-night phone calls, political debates, literary references and palpable chemistry they pretend not to feel. Every time one is single, the other isn’t. Every time they almost say it, they don’t. Funny, intimate and viscerally tender, this show is a love letter to sapphic yearning, homoerotic friendships, and the radical act of letting queer women have their happy ending.

Cubicle Dialogue

Tensions are running high at Wessex District Council! As Labour falters nationally and Reform surges locally, inside a struggling local council office three civil servants and their boss find neutrality increasingly impossible. Cubicle Dialogue is a sharp British political satire where Angie, a Conservative councillor, faces a choice: loyalty or survival. Private arguments spill into public consequences as local elections loom and the future of the ward hangs in the balance. Funny, biting and uncomfortably familiar, Cubicle Dialogue turns a council office into a microcosm of modern Britain – where ideology, ambition and insecurity collide.

Taiwan Season: UNDER MASK

Hotly-tipped young choreographer Lai Yun-Chi (formerly a dancer with Shechter II and a member of Humanhood) is keen to uncover what lies beneath our layered personalities – the roles we play, the identities we choose, the faces we wear. Drawing upon ceremonial folk rituals, a battery of cross-cultural movement styles and practices and a family history of leathercraft, she and her company Mailantia present the UK premiere of a bold, intricate and brand-new steampunk-influenced quartet about concealment and transformation. Expect a unique and original mix of East-West sensibilities.
