Summary

Step into the world of Joseph Conrad's storytelling as you embark on a journey through three enthralling plays that will leave you spellbound. In 'Laughing Anne', set in the 1880s, Captain Davidson's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the enchanting singer, Laughing Anne. As their forbidden love blossoms amidst a backdrop of secrets and abuse, they face a heart-wrenching choice that will test the depths of their loyalty. Experience the power of unwavering hope in 'One Day More', where Captain Hagberd, a retired sailor, awaits the return of his long-lost son. Bound by a fractured past, Hagberd's conviction that they are merely one day away from reuniting drives him to create a home steeped in anticipation. And delve into the shadows of London in 'The Secret Agent', where Adolf Verloc, a secret agent and businessman, navigates a treacherous web of anarchist circles. As his actions intertwine with the lives of his wife, his mentally disabled brother-in-law, and a group of dangerous revolutionaries, a sinister plot unfolds. In this masterful trilogy, Conrad's prowess shines, immersing you in worlds of passion, longing, and the timeless struggle between love and duty.

    'I am the slave ship. Wrecked. Empty. I am a shark, livid with the desire for blood. I am the sea, boiling with fury.'
Amid the gloom of Victorian England, a black sailor, Thomas, prepares to take one last voyage, while an ageing painter, J.M.W. Turner, seeks artistic inspiration in a half-remembered story. In twenty-first-century London, an actress finds herself handcuffed by history – two centuries after abolitionists won her ancestors their freedom.
Winsome Pinnock's astonishing play retells British history through the prism of the slave trade. Fusing fact with fiction, past with present, the powerfully personal with the fiercely political, Rockets and Blue Lights asks who owns our past – and who has the right to tell its stories?
Winner of the 2018 Alfred Fagon Award, the play opened at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in March 2020, directed by Miranda Cromwell.

    In the ruins of a garden in rural England, in a house which was once a home, one woman searches for seeds of hope.
Mike Bartlett's play Albion was premiered in October 2017 at the Almeida Theatre, London, in a production directed by Rupert Goold.
'Something remarkable. Our country needs it' - Telegraph
'[Has] a deeply reflective and humane quality to it: Bartlett draws his confused characters with a Chekhovian mix of wit and compassion… explores national identity through private mourning, and the meaning of the garden shifts, grows and deepens with the seasons' - Financial Times
'Scintillating… in the sometimes abrasive but always compelling Audrey, Bartlett has written a richly imagined female lead who can be mentioned in the same breath as the self-dramatizing Arkadina in The Seagull' - New York Times
'A work of deeply absorbing emotional richness and symphonic density' - Independent
'Fascinating, complex… what makes the play so enormously intriguing is that, as in his King Charles III, Bartlett shows us as a deeply divided people torn between the urge to preserve the past and to radically reform it' - Guardian
