A Streetcar Named Desire | Sheffield Crucible
Sheffield Theatres' production of A Streetcar Named Desire offers a compelling yet slightly uneven take on Tennessee Williams’ classic.
​
A Doll's House | Sheffield Crucible
Chris Bush’s fresh take on Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a perfect example of why any classic should be reimagined, restaged and re-explored with an audience of today at its heart.
​
Spy Movie: The Play | Pleasance Courtyard, Beneath (Edinburgh Fringe)
The name’s Blonde. Jane Blonde. And protagonist of this hilarious spy movie parody that’ll leave you shaken (not stirred) with laughter.
​
The Last Incel | Underbelly, Bistro Square (Edinburgh Fringe)
An online group of self-proclaimed incels have their values and friendship tested when they discover one of them has slept with a real-life woman.​

Dead Girls Rising | Sheffield Playhouse
Two angry women, who are haunted by the murder of a girl in their hometown, accidentally summon a punk rock band of Greek goddesses. The result? A revolt against the patriarchy with hot violent revenge.
​
A Taste of Honey | Royal Exchange Theatre
Shelagh Delaney wrote her first play at just 18 years old in 1958 about working class life in Salford, and all the nuances, triumph and heartbreak of A Taste of Honey still resonate in the Royal Exchange Theatre's current production.
​
KenRex | Sheffield Playhouse
It’s 1981 in rural Missouri. A wife’s frantic 911 call reports her husband’s murder in broad daylight, witnessed by 50 townspeople. Yet when the case goes to trial, no one's seen a thing.
​
Something Old, Something New | Sheffield Playhouse
It’s time for Nat and Alex to tie the knot, but weddings make their families go a bit crazy. The Surrey side are doing terrible Yorkshire accents, the Sheffield-ers have their own family drama to fix, and the bride in question is getting cold feet.
​
F**king Legend | Pleasance Courtyard, Bunker Two (Edinburgh Fringe)
It's so rare that one person can hold a room so delicately, but Olly Hawes does exactly this in his one-person show exploring white masculine guilt in the context of a burning world doomed for destruction.
​
Chariots of Fire | Sheffield Crucible
Strap on your running shoes and brace yourself for a theatrical sprint like no other - Sheffield Theatres' revival of Mike Bartlett's Chariots of Fire ignites the Crucible stage with Olympic fervour and unrelenting passion.
​
The 39 Steps | Sheffield Lyceum
Why turn a 1935 spy thriller into a Play-That-Goes-Wrong-esque stage comedy? Why not?
