The Stranger

★★★★★ “lustrously beautiful and superbly realised modern take on the Camus classic” - Guardian


Set in 1930s Algiers, The Stranger follows Meursault, a detached and quietly enigmatic man drifting through life with emotional indifference. After attending his mother’s funeral without grief, he resumes his routine, beginning a casual relationship and becoming entangled in a neighbour’s questionable affairs. When a sudden act of violence alters everything, Meursault’s refusal to conform to society’s expectations places him under intense scrutiny. François Ozon’s striking black and white adaptation of The Stranger reinterprets its existential themes while exposing the tensions and contradictions of French colonial rule with clarity and restraint.

In 1930s Algiers, a detached man drifts through life until a sudden act of violence places him under scrutiny. A stark, black and white adaptation of The Stranger, exploring indifference, identity and the tensions of colonial society.

Underdog: the Other Other Brontë

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.


This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd, on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
