Synopsis: | When a new god - the god of the life force, the god of sensuality, wine and the dance, the god that other religions fear - arrives in a buttoned-down world, he finds a leader who no longer believes in a power higher than himself, who will do whatever it takes to preserve the status quo. But this society is a ticking time bomb, revolution is in the air and the people are desperate for change. A band of sisters are ready to explode and destroy everyone and everything that gets in their way in Mike Poulton's all-new version of this DARK and LIBERATING play, co-conceived with choreographer Mark Bruce and director Braham Murray. | |||||

| Strindberg's gripping psychological drama about the battle of the sexes, in a spiky new version by Mike Poulton. The Father is about a marriage wrecked by the parents' need to claim exclusive rights to their daughter's love, and to determine her future. By turns comic and deeply tragic, it shows an affable, scholarly father fall victim to a once loving wife who will stop at nothing to do what she thinks is right for her child. The only possible outcome is a grim, yet thrilling fight to the death in circumstances of almost unbearable tension. | |||||

Synopsis: | This new, acclaimed, adaptation of Turgenev's classic comedy explores the delicious paradox of humour and despair to be found in the casual infliction of cruelty. The homecoming of Olga Petrovna and her husband, Yeletsky, to her deceased parents' country manor should be a happy affair for the house's resident penniless gentleman, Kuzovkin. His friend Ivanov is less optimistic, fearing for Kuzovkin's fate. All begins well but is cut short by the arrival of a rich neighbour, Tropatchov, whose favourite pastime is humiliating all he considers inferior. In no time the "gentlemen" are plying Kuzovkin with drink, exposing his pathetic history layer by layer. When Kuzovkin breaks in a drunken rage, he reveals a family secret that is set to challenge their very identity. In a moving denouement Kuzovkin wins back what has been his all along but cannot reclaim his honour. | |||||

Convicted of the murder in his absence but safe overseas, he quickly acquires wealth and a reputation for ruthlessness. Returning to Naples, he uses his new status to quash his conviction and is soon feared but respected throughout the city, making it his life's work to provide a form of rough justice for the criminals of Naples who have no other access to law. He rules the Naples underbelly with a rod of iron but when a respectable but poor young man decides to murder his father and comes to Don Antonio for advice, the Neapolitan 'Godfather' emerges from the shadows to make the young man's father an offer he can't refuse. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Henrik Ibsen | |||||
| Adapted from When We Dead Awaken, the last play Ibsen wrote before his death. First staged in 1899, it is rarely performed, yet is one of Ibsen's most extraordinary and deeply personal works. Whilst holidaying with his young wife, the sculptor Rubek encounters his muse: a woman that he loved and left a lifetime ago. Over a series of heated encounters, the entire scroll of Rubek's life is unrolled in Ibsen's final and most autobiographical exploration of what it means to love and be loved. Set within a mythical Nordic landscape, the play offers an explicit and merciless portrait of Ibsen as an ageing artist: restless with his art, his homeland and his married life. | |||||

| A portrait of idealism and democracy floundering in a society of conservatism and opportunism, considered by many to be Ibsen's dramatic masterpiece. Johannes Rosmer has resigned as parish priest following the suicide of his wife. But his increasingly liberal ideas make him an object of suspicion to the local worthies, who also disapprove of the presence in his house of a much younger woman, Rebecca West, formerly his wife's companion. As their relationship deepens and their isolation builds, the increasing moral pressures they face force them inexorably towards their fate. . . | |||||

| Smuggled out of Naples in his youth after stabbing a brutal night-watchman to death, Antonio Barracano returned home in the 1960s as a wealthy man. He used his newfound status to quash his murder conviction, and was soon feared but respected throughout the city. Don Antonio has made it his life's work to bring rough justice to the criminals of Naples who otherwise have no fear of the law. He rules the city's underbelly with a rod of iron. The play begins when a respectable but poor young man who has resolved to murder his father comes to Don Antonio for advice. The Neapolitan Godfather' emerges from the shadows to make the young man's father an offer he can't refuse. The comedy grows blacker as respectable' Naples collides with its criminal underworld. A dark comedy of pathos and farce by one of Italy's pre-eminent dramatists of the twentieth century. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Friedrich von Schiller | |||||
| Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland, Supreme Commander of the Habsburg armies, champion and saviour of the Holy Roman Empire, stands undefeated in a seemingly endless war of religion. A victim of his own military success, Wallenstein believes he is the only commander who can bring peace to the Empire. In the field, Wallenstein inspires fanatical loyalty in his troops. At court, politicians, jealous of his victories, howl for his dismissal and plot against his life. Four wintry days of terrible events, conspiracy, divided loyalty and betrayal culminate in one night of violent score settling. Wallenstein's struggle is played out on a vast European stage, but the heart of the tragedy is private and domestic: wives, children, lovers and friends must bear the heaviest burden of suffering. Schiller's skill in balancing the epic with the human make him arguably Europe's greatest playwright. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Devil in the pulpit at York Minster? The word "bollocks" intoned with unmistakable clarityin the nave? There are~ you'd have thought, safer places in which to tempt fate. The last time the Almighty allegedly showed his hand as a reviewer (over an ecclesiastical appointment up north), it left this particular cathedral with a smoking transept and a hefty restoration bill. But if the divine Number One String isn't smitten with Gregory Dorans spectacular staging of the York Mystery Plays, He certainly managed to keep His displeasure to Himself during the opening performances. This community event, which involves hundreds of local people, comes round every four years. Mirroring the way in which God humbled himself by becoming man, one professional actor traditionally slums itas Jesus among the hoards of amateurs. | |||||
