Known the world over as ‘Dudley Dursley’ in five of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Melling has since distinguished himself in several stage roles at London’s National Theatre, in the West End and most recently at BAM, in King Lear with Frank Langella. A young door-to-door salesman wakes up in a field, somewhere in London, surrounded by the burnt and empty remnants of the night before.
With no memory, he knows he must go back to ‘the very start of it all’. His attempts to retrace events from the previous day lead him on a haunting journey where everything comes into question: his life, his world, his future.

BRILLIANTLY DEMONSTRATES THE WAY HITCHCOCK’S ART IS THE KEY TO HIS LIFE THE GUARDIAN LONDON
The Lovesong of Alfred J Hitchcock… turns out to be a darkly riveting study of a film-maker who turned what his wife terms his ‘crazy inner life’ into public entertainment. What Rudkin does brilliantly is demonstrate that Hitchcock’s art is the key to his life. The play is a cineaste’s delight, with a tissue of references not
just to masterpieces such as Vertigo, Psycho and The Birds but to less-loved works like Frenzy and Topaz. Out of this emerges a portrait of a natural solitary who not only plays on our anxieties but who also instinctively equates sex with death. Far from suggesting Hitch was a brutal misogynist, however, Rudkin implies

An incredibly accomplished production... the combination of underscoring (the score was fantastic), the use of video, the movement work, the precision of the acting. I think in any context it’s an incredibly thought through production. Mark Ravenhill BBC Review Show A fierce and well-targeted political punch, written by Kieran Hurley, the latest rising star of Scottish playwrighting and his partner and fellowwriter, AJ Taudevin, Chalk Farm is set during the 2011 London riots and their aftermath. The premise is simple; but the writing is brilliant, sharp, poetic, passionate, full of searing insight into the politics of blame. Julia Taudevin gives a performance impossible to forget. It’s heartbreaking stuff; but also brilliant, beautifully written and true. Joyce McMillan The Scotsman, Edinburgh Inspired by the London riots of 2011, the subsequent pronouncements of politicians and the criminalization of many who took part, this deceptively simple two-hander simmers with understated anger and boasts spot-on performances from Thomas Dennis as the adolescent who wants to be part of history, and co-author, Julia Taudevin as the mother who will do anything to keep her child safe.

THE TIMES LONDON
It is his new masterpiece; ambitious, inventive, mischievously funny, but emotionally serious with a shocking, ironic, redemptive final twist. There are moments that might be Arthur Miller. Only, of course, funnier. Libby Purves The Times, London
What astonishes you about Alan Ayckbourn is his restlessly experimental nature. For his 77th play, he pushes comedy as far as possible towards tragedy. This is a wildly original play in its form - I can’t think of a more emotionally shattering moment in all of Ayckbourn. Brilliant performances from Kim Wall and Elizabeth Boag. Michael Billington The Guardian, London Quite brilliant. It really is thrilling stuff from Ayckbourn the writer, and Ayckbourn the director has found a diamond of a performance from Kim Wall. Hilarious.

TIME OF MY LIFE BY ALAN AYCKBOURN DIRECTED BY
ALAN AYCKBOURN THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST, HAPPIEST MOMENTS OF OUR LIVES. ONLY THE TROUBLE WITH THOSE SORT OF MOMENTS IS THAT YOU SELDOM EVER REALIZE THAT THEY ARE – UNTIL THEY’VE GONE. Time of My Life It is Laura Stratton’s birthday and, to celebrate the event, her husband Gerry, their two sons and their partners are gathered for an evening out in the family’s favorite restaurant. The dinner turns out to be a significant moment in all their lives with repercussions for years to come.
Time of My Life was first produced in Scarborough in 1992 and presented a year later in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre. Never seen in New York, this is its first major revival, directed by the author.
Please refer to performance list on the next page or calendar for show times.

The delight of Joe Murphy’s production of Phil Porter’s offbeat romantic comedy is that it transforms themes of loneliness, grief and voyeurism into something tender and lovable. And there is a splendidly vulnerable pair of performances from Lizzy Watts and Thomas Pickles.

THIS IS THE TALE OF JONAH AND SOPHIE. IT’S A LOVE STORY.
A sad, funny and bittersweet delight...a beautifully realized collaboration. The Herald, Scotland
A dysfunctional love story, but a love story all the same. Against the lonely backdrop of London, the worlds of two shy individuals collide, and a charming, delicate and darkly funny story unfolds before your eyes. Following her acclaimed performance in Mike Bartlett’s Artefacts (Brits Off Broadway 2008), Lizzy Watts returns to 59E59, this time with Thomas Pickles.

Named Britain’s first wartime star in 1939, and with shows written for her by Noël Coward and Cole Porter, her fortunes took a nose-dive after a fateful meeting with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, the repercussions of which were to last her whole life.
