Notes: adaptation by Emma Rice from the play Still Life and screenplay by Noel Coward

Synopsis: Love is in the air! The forbidden passions of Brief Encounter have been refreshingly restaged by Kneehigh Theatre in this glorious new production, which will give you a great reason to fall in love with theatre all over again. "I want to remember every minute. Always. Always to the end of my days" Set in the 1930s, a chance encounter at a railway station changes the lives of two people forever. When kind handsome doctor Alec removes a small piece of grit from the eye of wife and mother Laura, they embark on an illicit romance that is doomed to be thwarted by convention.

Notes: adapted by Emma Rice; written by Carl Grose

Synopsis: Twenty years after his two sons disappeared, King Cymbeline's only daughter Imogen plans to marry against his wishes. Enraged, Cymbeline banishes her childhood sweetheart Posthumus from court. He flees to Italy and makes a wager he'll soon regret. Cymbeline's new queen plots with her ghastly son Cloten. Emperor Caesar is on the war-path. And poor Joan (who's just got back from the Costa de Sol) hasn't got a clue what's going on! Kneehigh turn their unique storytelling style to one of Shakespeare's least performed plays. In a script packed with heart-stopping poetry and characteristic charm, their irreverent adaptation plays fast and loose with the Bard. The result is a wild, giddy and elemental adventure that swings from tragedy to comedy and back again. Never has confusion been such fun!

Notes: In this dazzling homage to theatre Tom Morris and Emma Rice use a unique blend of story-telling, stage-craft and song to dramatise Angela Carter's popular and highly-regarded novel.

Synopsis: It's 1899 and all of Europe is agape at the arrival of the new century. The world crackles with possibilities and people dance to the irresistible rhythms of money, sex, love and freedom. Swinging above them all is a showbiz sensation: a fierce, vulgar, pant-droppingly sexy trapeze artist called Fevvers.
