The Book of Mormon

Ages 17+
from £23

From the creators of South Park comes a musical so audacious it’ll leave you wondering which jokes will earn you eternal damnation for giggling at. One Mormon’s existential crisis of faith may provide the backdrop, but absolutely no one is safe here and you’ll be in stitches the entire time. Guaranteed to offend anyone with a remotely sensitive disposition, maybe leave Gran at home for this one…

The Play That Goes Wrong

Ages 8+
from £23

Absolutely nothing silly happens in this play whatsoever. Every door stays perfectly in place, every prop behaves impeccably, and the actors composure and decorum is infallible. It’s a solemn, dignified masterpiece of theatre. And yet somehow, against all reason, you will laugh until you cry.

Before there were Mormons, there was Mel Brooks. Two men try to make the worst, most offensive show in Broadway history… and fail spectacularly. Yes, this is the one with a verrrry camp number about a certain moustachioed dictator.

Come for the irreverent comedy, stay for the bratty curls. They really should be billed just for how much personality they bring to the table in this 80-minute masterpiece. American history? Maybe. Mostly true? That’s for you to decide.

“We want… a Lloyd Webber-style number about choosing which bird to roast for Christmas dinner. Call it Geese: The Musical”. Showstopper is completely improvised, taking audience suggestions and somehow turning them into a musical masterpiece in real time. It never should work, but somehow always does.

I’m Sorry, Prime Minister

from £18

Razor sharp British political satire in its finest form. Brought to you by Jonathan Lynn, the final chapter of Yes, Minister is brimming with chaotic hilarity, bureaucracy and nostalgic brilliance. If you're a fan of the classic sitcom or just need an excuse to laugh at the state of British politics this one is sure to serve up an abundance of wit.
