For the Sake of Argument

Chaplin
After my post-show talk to Jekyll & Hyde in September, I'm delighted to return to Brockley Jack Theatre for Chaplin, another Arrows & Traps production - and more exciting still, a brand-new play, written and directed by artistic director Ross McGregor.

Shakespeare’s supernatural and bloody Macbeth bursts onto the stage in this epic new ensemble production and features as the first production in Lazarus Theatre's third year-long residency at Greenwich Theatre.
Hedda Gabler (cancelled)
Ibsen’s searing masterpiece Hedda Gabler comes to the stage in this blistering new version adapted by Lazarus Associate Director Sara Reimers.
Never Not Once (cancelled)
After my 2019 event to Katharine Farmer's revival of 1980s Wall Street satire Other People's Money, I'm delighted to reunite with the director on another serving of American theatre, this time the UK premiere of an award-winning new play, Carey Crim's Never Not Once.
Peter Pan (cancelled)
One ordinary evening turns into one extraordinary adventure… Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up, flies into Greenwich Theatre in this all-new ensemble version of JM Barrie’s much-loved classic, adapted and directed by Ricky Dukes.
