Banging Denmark

by Van Badham

Van Badham throws a bomb at the rom-com in a badly-behaved comedy of sex, love, modern manners and ancient vanities. Banging Denmark is breathless, relentless and a laugh-out-loud battle of the sexless. Jake Newhouse is a pickup artist who sells seduction techniques to the lovelorn men of the internet. Ish Madigan is a feminist academic whose life's been destroyed by male internet trolls. They are natural enemies... what brings them together?

Pale Blue Dot

by Kathryn Marquet

A captivating new comedy about aliens, alienation and the terrifying and comforting thought that we are not alone. Pale Blue Dot spins the majesty of 'space science', the comedy of 'alien conspiracy theories' and the terror of 'domestic relationships' into a stellar theatrical yarn.

Ideal Husband

by Oscar Wilde

Successful politician Sir Robert Chiltern has it all –money, power and the love of his adoring wife. But when a mysterious character threatens to expose a dark secret from his past, he becomes hopelessly embroiled in a world of insider trading, blackmail and deception.

A farce by Marc Camoletti

Translated by Beverley Cross & Francis Evans

Bernard, an American playboy in swinging ’60s Paris, juggles three flight-attendant fiancées — one American, one German and one Italian. With the help of airline timetables and a phenomenally efficient housekeeper, he convinces each she is his only love. But then — mon dieu! — a fast new Boeing jet puts the flight attendants on a collision course, hurtles his cunning deception toward disaster, and provides the lift-off for laugh after laugh.

Set in the holiday beach resort town of Crystal Inlet, four highly-strung couples who regularly meet to escape and dissect their big city lives, grapple with how much their friendships are truly worth.
