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.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.Immaculate 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. Is she carrying a divine child or is there a more sinister force at play.

In the seedy underbelly of 18th century Paris, money is king. Nothing is sacred - even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting....

Manon's inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan's 1974 adaptation of Abbe Prevost's novel. In this signature work of the Royal Ballet, MacMillan's nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon's Paris, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet's score and Nicholas Georgiadi's design.
