GENRE: Fantasy, Festive, Dark Humour
Join our award-winning youth theatre group as they take you on a magical journey to Neverland in this enchanting stage adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s timeless classic, Peter Pan.
Fly away with Peter, Wendy, John and Michael as they encounter mischievous Lost Boys, brave Tiger Lily, the playful Tinker Bell, and the most fearsome pirate of all - Captain Hook! With adventure, laughter, and just a little bit of fairy dust, this heart-warming production celebrates imagination, friendship, and the magic of never growing up.
It's the night before Hogswatch. And it's too quiet. Superstition makes things work in the Discworld, and undermining it can have consequences.
It's just not right to find Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say 'Ho Ho Ho...'
It's the last night of the year, the time is turning, and if Susan, gothic governess and Death's granddaughter (sort of), doesn't sort everything out by morning, there won't be a morning. Ever again...
Adapted by Terry Pratchett's long-time collaborator Stephen Briggs, this play text version of Pratchett's
bestselling Discworld novel Hogfather wittily and faithfully reimagines the story for the stage.
A hugely entertaining festive treat for newcomers to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and a delight for existing
fans. Suitable for ages 8-108.
Sometimes the most extraordinary things are the ones we can’t explain.
Step into the warm, whimsical world of Harvey, Mary Chase’s timeless comedy about Elwood P. Dowd — a charming, mild-mannered man whose best friend just happens to be a six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch invisible rabbit. When his exasperated sister tries to have him committed to a sanitarium, a mix-up sends the staff spiralling into delightful chaos. As the confusion unfolds, everyone begins to wonder whether Harvey might be more than just a figment of imagination. Heartfelt, hilarious, and full of gentle magic, Harvey is a feel-good tale about kindness, belief, and seeing the world a little differently. Book now for an unforgettable night at the Harlequin Theatre.
Two actors. One stage. Endless chaos.
Step behind the curtain with A Life in the Theatre, David Mamet’s witty, fast-paced comedy that lifts the lid on the highs, lows, and glorious mishaps of life onstage. The play follows a seasoned actor and his ambitious young co-star as they navigate fading spotlights, fragile egos, backstage blunders and the ever-changing world of performance. Both hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt, it’s a love letter to the madness of making theatre - and a reminder that the real drama often happens out of sight. Join us at the Harlequin Theatre for a sharp, warm, and wonderfully relatable night of entertainment. Book early - the spotlight won’t wait!
This is not a story about well-behaved women. This is a story about the power of words. It’s about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support and competition.
Underdog: The Other Other Brontë shines a fresh, irreverent light on the lives of the Brontë sisters — Charlotte, Emily and the oft-overlooked youngest, Anne. In this witty and modern reimagining, sibling rivalry, ambition, and jealousy collide as the three women fight for recognition in a world dominated by men. Forced to write under male pseudonyms, they navigate fame, suppression and betrayal — all while Anne, the “other other” Brontë, quietly emerges as a radical force. With sharp humour, biting anachronisms, and a voice that demands we rethink literary legend, this is a bold story of sisterhood, power, and the lasting strength of words.
In the coldest winters, the fiercest courage rises.
Step into the snowy world of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, where brave young cousins Bonnie and Sylvia find themselves up against a wicked governess, a sinister plot, and a pack of wolves roaming the frozen countryside. With courage, friendship, and a daring escape at the heart of their adventure, this classic tale sweeps audiences into a gripping, wintry fight for home and hope.
Suitable for the whole family.

“Excellently acted. A very moving performance
Fascinating story, very well told. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Fabulous production kudos to everyone involved. I was in the theatre from the first moment. Laura gave us such a compelling and brave performance and grew into the role as each scene unfurled. A true tour de force.
Great being able to watch and enjoy live theatre again from the safety and comfort of home.
Excellent. Drew you in and although it was in an empty theatre, it didn’t feel like that at all.
The ensemble staging was excellent. Script, Laura’s amazing feat of memory and acting, Direction, lighting and camerawork.
Everything...... excellent acting. Well done to you all
A first for the theatre streaming live, fantastic solo performance by Laura. Everyone involved should be proud of their achievements.
Well staged, well acted, thought provoking content
More productions like this please!”
