Posting Letters to the Moon is a romantic, funny and very touching portrait of life during the second World War, featuring readings of letters between Oscar nominated actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her explorer and writer husband Peter Fleming (brother of James Bond creator Ian Fleming) posted to India and the Far East during the war working for Military Intelligence.

The letters are read by their daughter Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, The Archers) and her husband Simon Williams (Upstairs Downstairs, The Archers, EastEnders), and give an insight into a young mother’s life coping during the war and tell of Celia Johnson’s experience of filming with Noël Coward, David Lean and her thoughts while making the classic film Brief Encounter in 1945.

Agatha Christie and Margaret Rutherford should never have been friends. But they were. Their paths crossed when they found themselves at the heart of one of British cinema's most successful franchises. However, the Miss Marple films almost didn't get made…

Our production of Murder, Margaret and Me is one of the events being staged to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Agatha Christie. It is a story of friendship, identity and the achievement of women in the long-lost world of the silver screen.

Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other one became known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one ... Anne.

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.

Sarah Gordon’s new play is an irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, and the story of sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to  fame.

In an isolated rural community, a group of needlewomen introduce Maggie, a troubled newcomer, to their simple way of life. But in spite of everyone's best efforts it becomes clear that the visit is not going as planned and tensions build to explosive levels.

Crowe crafts a layered and thought–provoking piece that blurs the lines between past and present, reality and simulation while asking whether returning to ‘a simpler time’ – even if we had a time machine – would solve anything.

Oliver Lansley’s Immaculate, our late Autumn production, is a laugh-a-minute collision of dark, sparkly and risqué wit.  

It tells the story of Mia, a vulnerable young woman who has not had sex for eleven months yet discovers she is inexplicably pregnant.

Visited by the Angel Gabriel, Mia is led to believe she is carrying a divine child. Or is there a more sinister force at play, with the Devil’s hand behind her pregnancy?

Crackling with audacious jokes, uncomfortable truths and gleeful provocation, Immaculate dares its audience to laugh even as the ground shifts beneath them.
