A one-woman play about when said woman did a play she doesn’t remember doing. Join her in this fictional retelling of the astonishing time she played Ariel in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, whilst spiked. One minute she was in her campus bar, about to leave for the show, the next… blackout.

Newly widowed, Mrs Lovett ‘recalibrates’ her relationship with God. The scales of social justice may be tipped against her, but Eleanor has counterweights of her own: creativity, a can-do spirit, and a dream of joys to come. A fascinating, darkly comic tale of her life before she met Sweeney Todd.

A space for dance artists, movers and choreographers to share, learn, grow, support and be supported, meeting on the second Friday each month.

Solo-storyteller Liz revisits her childhood memories and home in an attempt to understand whether she still belongs there, or ever did. This new LR Production takes us from laughter to tears and back again as Liz reconnects with voices from the past and her young family now, unearthing painful home truths.

It’s 2026 and King Herod is leading a self-development pyramid scheme. Join award winning clown, Riss Obolensky, for an hour of frivolity, shock and redemption. In a post-truth world punctuated by conspiracy, division and collapse, it’s time to forgive… yourself.
