DRH Arts and Orsolya Nagy Presents
21st April - 9th May 2026
DRH Arts and Orsolya Nagy present CHARLIE and STRIPTEASE by Slawomir Mrozek. A double-bill of hilarious political theatre by the award-winning Polish playwright. These two satirical plays from the Soviet era (in English translation) are absurdly relevant in today’s political climate of Trump’s America, the rise of authoritarianism and the impact of mass surveillance.
This production of STRIPTEASE was premiered at Birmingham Theatre Festival in 2025:
“Funny and brilliantly performed… comic timing is perfect” BIRMINGHAM FEST
“Mystery, suspense and plenty of laughs… a macabre fantasy brought to life by peerless performances.” GARY HUDSON (FORMER CHIEF REPORTER BBC MIDLANDS)
CHARLIE - How would you know “Charlie” if you saw him? And why does an old man and his grandson want to shoot him? “You said yourself there must be some justice, that one can’t just shoot at anybody in the street.”
STRIPTEASE - Two strangers find themselves unexpectedly in a strange room, dictated to by a mysterious “hand” which requires them to divest items of clothing. “I try to do everything I am permitted to do, but apparently wearing trousers is not permitted.”

Red Fox Theatre presents
This will be the first time the original cast has performed the show together in 6 years.... Hence the need for some previews before the run at 59E59 New York this June.
29th - 30th May
An unbelievable true story involving Éamon de Valera, one big fish, and whole lot of nuns, Catch of The Day is a riotous romp of a play that tackles the tense history of Anglo-Irish relations with a unique mash-up of live music, comedy and theatre.
Bring your mates and your mammy, grab a pint, and get ready for one craic-ing night out.
Ireland, 1966.
A skipper sails into Dingle bay with a very unusual catch. What follows is a ridiculous series of events involving Eamon De Valera, Queen Elizabeth, and a surprising amount of nuns.
An unbelievable true story built from interviews, Catch of the Day is a raucous and little-bit-political play with live trad music, all set in a pub. This "side-splittingly funny" (The Irish Post) show has been teaching audiences about Anglo-Irish relations in very silly ways since 2018.
Bring your mates and your mammy and get ready for one craic-ing night out. One fish can make a big splash.
Reviews
★★★★★ “A superb show, achingly funny, with great traditional Irish songs and a cast of incredibly talented actors/singers/musicians, the like of which I have not experienced in a while”
