| From a playwright rated by Alan Ayckbourn and Howard Barker to be the most exciting new voice in British theatre comes a shattering re-imagining of life as we live it now, set in the context of a bloody revolution. Witness to a brutal political assassination, we are introduced to a society fractured by a lack of belief in anything meaningful, in which everyone has something to protest against. This skewed world spins giddily between the surreal, the mundane and a ghastly graphic reality. Powerful poetic language, raw emotion, dark humour and big uncomfortable ideas build a fast moving story of 'quite shattering impact' (The Guardian). | |||||

| At the turn of the sixteenth century the two most powerful people on the planet, Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon are making plans to expand their empire. They are plundering the riches of the New World, removing all Jews and Moors from their territories and waging war on the infidels in the East. At home they seek to assert the dominance of Spain by marrying their daughters to various princes of Europe. One such daughter is Juana, a young woman full of religion and passion. Why, however, is she mad? Though set during the Golden Age of Spain, The Lunatic Queen is both brital and contemporary satire and classical revenge tragedy, as it tells the story of Juana's two servants who seek vengeance on a system which has victimised them. | |||||

| One night in January 2010 an earthquake in Haiti leaves around a hundred thousand people dead and almost two million homeless. Meanwhile, somewhere in a leafy north London suburb, a group of six individuals convene over avocado and prawns, followed by monkfish stew. They struggle with worries over their mortgages, their mobile phone tariffs, their Facebook friends, their careers, their love lives, their diets, their holiday plans and whether or not any of them will be able to make any lasting impression on history. Muswell Hill, another comedy of acute social embarrassment from this award-winning playwright, is the third of Torben Betts' plays to be premiered at the Orange Tree. | |||||

| Betts's pnncipal subject is the toe-curling awkwardness inspired by social embarrassment and personal failure. Downcast spinster Ruth, who has not seen anyone - including herself in a mirror - for quite some time, invites a group of former school friends to a reunion. Timorous mother-of-three Lindsay arrives with bullish husband Mark, a simmering sack of resentment whose dreams of a football career ended with Leyton Orient reserves. Then Ruth, the high-flyer of the bunch, breezes in with Claude, a French international star, on her arm. It is as if Beverly's get-together in Abigail's Party has been brought to a standstill by the sudden arrival of Thierry Henry. Mark is first awestruck, then furiously jealous as Claude casts approving glances at his wife, who in turn contemplates a wild, liberating fling with Steve, the gentle Gulf war veteran who lives next door. With the action confined to Ruth's poky kitchen and yard, Betts's game-plan is to put together a toxic combination of couples and watch the sparks fly. | |||||
