Sinopsis

"The Rivals" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a comedic play that navigates the complexities of love and mistaken identities in 18th century society. Set in Bath, the story follows the romantic entanglements of Lydia Languish, who desires a love affair akin to those in her beloved novels. Her aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, aims to arrange a match for her with the wealthy but socially awkward Captain Absolute. However, Lydia is enamored with the penniless Ensign Beverly, who is none other than Captain Absolute in disguise to win her affections genuinely. The play unfolds with hilarious miscommunications, witty wordplay, and absurd characters like the linguistically challenged Mrs. Malaprop. As the characters converge at Mrs. Malaprop's estate, lies unravel, true identities are revealed, and love triumphs over societal pretensions. Through clever dialogue and satire, Sheridan explores the themes of love, pretension, and social manners, delivering a delightful comedy of errors.

    Arriving from his East Midlands beginnings into a London thick with the grime of industrialisation, Joseph Merrick is an anomaly. In a city of factories that churn out uniformity, there is no place for someone like him.
    But Merrick and the city are evolving into something new. We follow him through the workhouse, the freak show and the hospital, as he searches for acceptance in a society that just wants to stare at him.
    Powerful, angry and surprising, Tom Wright's acclaimed play imagines an alternative history of the person who came to be known as 'the Elephant Man'. It restores Joseph Merrick to the centre of his own story: a man fighting for his right to be and to belong.
    The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man was first performed at Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre, before receiving its European premiere at Nottingham Playhouse in 2023, directed by Stephen Bailey, and supported by a grant from The Royal Theatrical Support Trust.

    When Okumu's village in Northern Uganda is attacked by a guerrilla rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by Joseph Kony, he and his brother find that their lives are changed forever.
    Far Gone is a profoundly moving play for one actor which tells the story of a young boy's journey from childhood innocence to child soldier, seen through the eyes of those that love him – and those that betray him.
    Inspired by John Rwothomack's own real-life experience of nearly being kidnapped by the LRA, the play was co-produced by Roots Mbili Theatre and Sheffield Theatres, with support from Theatre Deli, Sheffield. It premiered at the Crucible Studio, Sheffield, in 2022, directed by Mojisola Elufowoju.
    'This play is not about me, the kid who was lucky enough to escape. This play is for the hundreds of thousands who did not. For the parents whose children were either lost forever or forever changed. For the young girls who were forced to marry men old enough to be their fathers. For the brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, sons and daughters who lost the innocence of childhood, simply for being born at an unfortunate time in an unfortunate place. For the future generations who will continue to suffer the trauma the LRA has imprinted on them, for many years to come.' John Rwothomack
