The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

By: Simon Stephens

Follies
Sunday, August 5, 2018 | 3:00 PM
By: James Goldman
Music and Lyrics by: Stephen Sondheim

Starring: Tracie Bennett, Janie Dee, Imelda Staunton
New York, 1971. There’s a party on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs and lie about themselves. A dazzling new production featuring a cast of 37 and an orchestra of 21.
Julie
Sunday, September 30, 2018 | 3:00 PM
By: Polly Stenham after August Strindberg
Directed by: Carrie Cracknell
Starring: Vanessa Kirby, Eric Kofi Abrefa
Wild and newly single, Julie (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby) throws a late night party – which rapidly descends into a savage fight for survival. This new version of August Strindberg’s play Miss Julie, written by Polly Stenham, remains fiercely relevant in its new setting of contemporary London.
King Lear
Saturday, October 27, 2018 | 3:00 PM
By: William Shakespeare
Directed by: Jonathan Munby
Starring: Ian McKellen
Sir Ian McKellen stars in what many consider to be the greatest tragedy ever written. King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.
"Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production." — Daily Telegraph

It’s 1786 and King George III (Mark Gatiss) is the most powerful man in the world. But his behavior is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unraveling, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man.
