  "Harvey" by Mary Chase is a whimsical and heartwarming tale that follows the life of Elwood P. Dowd, an amiable eccentric who claims to have a peculiar friend—an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey. Set against the backdrop of 1940s America, the play explores the consequences of Elwood's unconventional friendship on his relationships with his family and society. As Elwood's sister, Veta, attempts to have him committed to a mental institution, misunderstandings and comedic chaos ensue, challenging the perceptions of what is real and the importance of embracing life's enchanting mysteries. Mary Chase skillfully weaves humor, warmth, and a touch of the fantastical to create a timeless story that delves into the acceptance of uniqueness and the transformative power of unconventional connections. "Harvey" is a delightful exploration of the human spirit and the unexpected sources of joy that can enrich our lives.

  The Don't Touch Garden explores what it is to be adopted, both for the child and the adoptive parents, through a wide range of poetic styles and complex emotions.
  An absorbing account of the legacy of being an adopted child. Forthright and tender, this moving sequence reflects Foley's unflinching gaze into the mirror in a sometimes excoriating attempt to discern traces of her belonging, and to make peace with the past.

  Considered the greatest baseball poem of all time, "Casey at the Bat" is the beloved tale of the Mudville Nine, a hapless baseball club entering the ninth inning of a ballgame down two runs and with little hope of succeeding...unless their star slugger Casey can manage to get a turn at the plate. With two outs, the outlook is grim but...when the two players preceding Casey manage to get on base, the stage is set for a grand finale, giving the citizens of Mudville hope that their hero can save the day! Ernest Lawrence Thayer originally wrote this poem for the San Francisco Examiner and it would go on to become what Baseball Almanac called "the single most famous baseball poem ever written." It is here presented in its original and unabridged form and enhanced with music and sound effects to bring the listener right into the ballpark!

  'Stories from the past just simply don't get told unless someone bothers doing it. And I really believe this story needs to be told.'
  1604. A small village outside Oxford. Two boys have been murdered by local brute Brian Gunter at a football match and their mum wants justice. But Brian is also the richest and most powerful man in the village, and has an ego too fragile to tolerate public slander…
  A nasty feud begins, and when Brian's daughter Anne starts demonstrating strange afflictions, an allegation is made: she has been bewitched.
  Impassioned and highly theatrical, Dirty Hare's award-winning production of Gunter, co-created by Lydia Higman, Julia Grogan and Rachel Lemon, tells a true story of deception, witchcraft and football.
  The play premiered at Summerhall at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2023, where it was awarded a Scotsman Fringe First Award, Pick of the Fringe from both Playbill and Lyn Gardner, whilst Dirty Hare were named one of The Stage's Fringe Five list of breakout theatremakers. It transferred to the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024.
