You wanna watch me suffer? Got all day.
Then I’ll take my sweet time.

With the first date spice’o’meter off the charts, Dom’s trying to write the rules on love. But when Izzy flips the script, Dom tightens his grip in a game of pop music and power.

This young couple can’t stop rolling the dice. What have you got left to lose when you gamble with your heart? Strap in as we find out who can handle the most heat. ‘Cus who knew heaven was also full of burning, eh?

There is a Light and a Whistle for Attracting Attention

by Henri Merriam 

produced by Play Nicely Theatre 

11 - 14 June

“You’ve never seen Grease? Are you kidding? Ok. So there’s this guy and this girl…”

In the beginning there were stories. Stories of girls and women and men and Love. So when she meets him, she knows the script and she’s ready. But things are starting to go wrong and the stories she’s been told don’t serve her anymore.

She doesn’t fit the role.

She needs to rewrite her part. So she can be seen.

Be brave. Take a breath.

There is a Light and a Whistle for Attracting Attention is brought to you by award-nominated Play Nicely Theatre (Splinter, The Mechanicals Present).

Play Nicely Theatre was founded to tell stories old and new. They return to the Jack Studio following their hit 2023 tour of Bruntwood Judge’s Prize winner Martha Loader’s play Splinter, which was a Finalist in the London Pub Theatre Standing Ovation Awards and awarded an Offcomm.

Press

by Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller 

presented by Black Bat Productions

17 June - 5 July


It’s the big day. The announcement is in a few hours’ time, and film producers David and Kate anticipate their prestigious Civil War epic Catch Me Some Freedom will be nominated for plenty of Goldies. Until, however, they learn that the film’s heroic lead role, played by a white actor, was in real life actually Black.

Fearing an intense and career-jeopardizing backlash, David and Kate frantically try to avoid public scrutiny, and keep the film from getting any attention whatsoever.

Featuring award-winning writer and performer Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller as David, and the acclaimed Rosie Hart as Kate, this “comedic yet poignant” Hollywood satire returns, acclaimed as “genius” (★★★★★ Broadway Baby) with “a wonderful set-up” that “delivers in every manner” (★★★★★ Violet Curtain).

Black Bat Productions has been creating theatre since 2017, and has been behind a broad range of sharp, stylish pieces of theatre. The company has a curious, incisive, and acclaimed approach to original storytelling. Previous productions include: 1950s jazz noir Mack The Knife, Twilight-Zone-inspired mystery Technicolor, razor-sharp political satire Chagos 1971, heist thriller Fear of Roses, 1960s fashion-industry caper Nines and contemporary comedy-drama The Kindness of Strangers. Black Bat Productions has seen two of its pieces published in 2024 by Methuen Drama: 1970s set play-with-songs In Everglade Studio and Hitchcock-esque noir thriller Port City Signature.

‘The setup is genius… exemplary writing…with a masterclass of a twist… The punchlines hit their targets with a topicality and humour which completely justifies such enjoyment. It is a joy to spend an hour watching Press.’ ★★★★★ Broadway Baby



It’s Not About Coffee
by Sophia Hail and Jennifer Kehl
presented by Little Coup Theatre

Tuesday 15th  – Saturday 19th July at 7.30pm
Press night: Thursday 17th July at 7.30pm

 

 


“We just repeat today, every day, and everything will be perfect.”

Every doomsday bunker needs a coffee shop.

Meet Zona and Katherine, two women who have signed on for a 60-day trial as baristas in a coffee shop in Hawaii – a coffee shop that is a mile underground. Desperate for an income, Zona and Katherine must navigate co-living as complete strangers while working under extreme circumstances, all while being monitored around the clock by the owner of the bunker: a billionaire tech mogul who is known for getting what he wants, no matter the cost.

It’s Not About Coffee explores how far we are willing to go to appease the power of the ultra-rich before the scales tip. This dark comedy is a twisting, dystopian journey that isn’t really so dystopian…
