SUMMARY:The Cripple of Inishmaan
DESCRIPTION:“I shouldn’t laugh at you\, Cripple Billy…but I will!” \nThe Cripple of Inishmaan is set in a small community on the Aran Islands off of the Western Coast of Ireland in 1934\, where the inhabitants are excited to learn of a Hollywood film crew’s arrival in neighbouring Inishmore to make a documentary about life on the islands. \n“Cripple” Billy Claven\, eager to escape the gossip\, poverty and boredom of Inishmaan\, vies for a part in thr film\, and to everyone’s surprise\, the orphan and outcast gets his chance…or so some believe. \nMartin McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming of age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.

SUMMARY:A Festival of WS Gilbert Plays
DESCRIPTION:One Act Wonders! In its final production for 2025\, Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria offers a rare opportunity to discover a collection of four neglected one-act plays from master librettist\, W.S Gilbert across one evening’s entertainment (and two weekend matinees). \nMostly remembered today for his famous collaboration with Arthur Sullivan\, as a young barrister Gilbert found himself waiting for all too infrequent briefs and he turned to writing. Testament to his talent\, soon after\, he was earning his living as a playwright and librettist. Gilbert continued to write plays throughout his busy creative life with his last\, The Hooligan\, completed only four months before he died. \nThis collection demonstrates Gilbert’s wide-ranging interests and styles over 40 years and\, over 100 years after their creation\, hold the stage well today. Directed by a new generation\, come and enjoy: \nComedy and Tragedy – Directed by Ben Klein. An actress finds a deadly solution to her tricky romantic situation. A masterpiece of dramatic irony;\nRosencrantz and Guildenstern – Directed by Sarah Berry. In a reimagined parody of Shakespeare’s hugely popular ‘Hamlet’\, Rosencrantz and Ophelia scheme to get rid of Hamlet so they can be together;\nCreatures of Impulse – Directed by Danielle Zuccala. A fairy toys with guests at an inn for her own devious pleasure. Pure slapstick fun\, and\nThe Hooligan – Directed by Naomi Tooby. A condemned man pleads for justice. A sophisticated character study.

SUMMARY:Pippin
DESCRIPTION:Learning the true meaning of glory\, love and war\, and daring to chase the extraordinary. \nWith an unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner\, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant\, Stephen Schwartz (the composer of WICKED and GODSPELL) and book by Roger O.Hirson\, Pippin is now a contemporary classic. Originally running on Broadway from 1972-75 winning 5 Tonys\, the revival in 2013 also won 4 Tony Awards. \nPippin is a coming of age story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary and quest in search of true happiness.

It is only when he encounters a widow and her young child that Pippin finally experiences true love. However\, the simplicity of this lifestyle soon becomes claustrophobic and the yearning for something more calls in Pippin again. \nPippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors\, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

SUMMARY:Arsenic and Old Lace
DESCRIPTION:.  ItArsenic and Old Lace By Joseph Kesselring \nDirected by Peter Newling \nArsenic and Old Lace is a timeless and classic comedy.  It was a hit both on Broadway and in the West End. \nDrama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves\, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor\, they killed him! \nBetween his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine\, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt\, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. \nArsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

So they send the machines. The fucking\, soulless\, plastic fuckin’ machines.” \nAislin is getting older in a world that is becoming increasingly unfamiliar to her. Her caregiver Stacy is perfectly toned\, ageless\, and utterly in control. She’s also a robot. While Aislin suffers the inevitable indignities of being human\, Stacy wonders what she’s missing out on. \nDirected by multiple Green Room Award and Matilda Award nominee\, Kat Henry\, and featuring Red Stitch ensemble member Caroline Lee\, the play will open on 26 October and run through until 24 November\, rounding out the season. \nRed Stitch Artistic Director\, Ella Caldwell\, said “I’m very proud to return two celebrated productions to our stage\, answering demand from audiences and enabling artists to deepen their work. 2024 at Red Stitch also offers a compelling array of fresh premieres; every single one is a gem. These scripts are exhilarating and exceptionally well written; they demand the intimate\, hard-hitting performances we’re known for at Red Stitch. It’s going to be a powerful year in the theatre.”

SUMMARY:Sweet Charity
DESCRIPTION:Sweet Charity follows the romantic ups and downs of Charity Hope Valentine\, “a girl who wanted to be loved.” Working as a taxi dancer\, a hired dance partner in a gritty New York City dance hall\, Charity’s job may be far from glamorous.   But her unwavering optimism and hopeful romanticism keep her striving for something better. \nDespite being let down by a string of bad relationships and disappointing men\, Charity remains resilient.
