Three Queens
by Rosamund Gravelle
23 April - 11 May 2024, 7:30pm
A forgotten moment of English history comes to life at Barons Court Theatre this spring with the debut play from Rosamund Gravelle.
February, 1554.
Queen Mary wears the crown of a nation divided by religion. Before the dawn breaks, confessions will be made, prayers will be sent, and more than one life will hang in the balance.
Queen Mary is determined to save the soul of England. Future Queen Elizabeth is desperate to avoid her mother’s fate, and teenage Queen Jane Grey’s rebellion seeks to unravel everything.
Told in real time over one sleepless night, the play follows three women maneuvering for power, each carving out their place in history.
Incident
at Vichy
by Arthur Miller
28 - 29 April 2024, 7:30pm
Vichy, France, 1942. In the midst of uncertain times, a group of men find themselves suddenly captured. Left alone to ruminate in a confined setting, they ponder what their detainment foreshadows. As ideologies clash and fear runs amuck, the looming threat of the German Army rears its head, causing even the sharpest of minds to grapple with the harsh realities of a war like no other.
Incident at Vichy is an intensely powerful play raising questions about man's reaction in the face of authoritarian regimes, themes that are as relevant today as they were when the play was written. But apart from these eternal questions, it is also a very personal insight into how a group of very different men react to their impending fate. Important questions in the hands of one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century
The Nine-Day Queen
by Jen Tucker
14 - 18 May 2024, 7:30pm
The Nine-Day Queen follows 15-year-old Lena and Rita. When an attack puts Lena in a coma, Rita sits by her side for nine days. Wracked by survivor’s guilt and overcome by rage and grief, she hallucinates the ghost of Lady Jane Grey. For nine days, Rita and Jane teach each other to be brave in a world where women’s bravery can feel futile. An intergenerational exploration of female plight through the ages, The Nine-Day Queen interrogates female resistance and celebrates the power of sisterhood in the face of adversity.

Poisoned Beds
by Lucy Flannery & Greg Mosse
Original music by John Gleadall
Performed by Paula Tinker
21 - 25 May 2024, 7:30pm
Poisoned Beds is the captivating story of one woman’s personal liberation set against the fight for suffrage and the death of the Victorian oyster industry. Sussex actress Paula Tinker gives a virtuoso performance in a superb one-act script by Lucy Flannery & Greg Mosse, accompanied on stage by much-loved theatre composer John Gleadall.
The show is set in December 1918. Elizabeth Wells is preparing a concert to celebrate women’s suffrage and the end of the Great War. But she cannot celebrate the future without reconciling herself to her tragic past.
Poisoned Beds is a collaboration between two highly-regarded theatre writers and will delight audiences with its clever combination of comedy and sadness, sharp dialogue, unexpected plot twists, and wonderfully witty lyrics.
11 - 22 June 2024, 7.30 pm
The Last Time I Saw Caileigh is a dark, funny and heartfelt one-act play that explores queer erasure through the lens of an unsolved mystery. When Caileigh Richardson goes missing, the three people closest to them point fingers at one another, and at the ever elusive “system”, as they recount their last few days with Caileigh and try to uncover what happened to them. It asks questions about gender, who we hold accountable for injustice... and fish sex changes. It was devised collaboratively by a small ensemble at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
