It’s also a season of intimate stories. Gossip in barber shops, secrets in Buckingham Palace, real-life accounts from the Ford factory, and voices from Afghanistan fighting to exist at all.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our two venues soon.

Autumn 1940. The Battle of Britain rages.

Southampton is home to our only hope of victory: the Spitfire. But when the Luftwaffe drops 2,300 bombs in three devastating raids, the city goes up in flames and the Woolston Supermarine Spitfire factory is destroyed.

Jackie is the third generation of Dimmock at her family-run laundry. Polly is the first and only draughtswoman in the Spitfire design office. How will each woman forge her own path in this evolving landscape?

From the ashes, a story of chaos, courage and community spirit emerges.

Critically acclaimed, this sell-out smash hit features a stellar cast supported by a 25-strong community company made up of Southampton residents. The Shadow Factory returns to celebrate the first birthday of Southampton’s brand new theatre NST City. Don’t miss out this time!

Prime Minister: I never sleep much.

Queen: Oh dear. I like the idea of any person with the power to start a nuclear war being rested.

For 60 years, the Queen has met her Prime Minister every week. An audience at Buckingham Palace. Both parties agree never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses.

What is discussed? What secrets are shared? Does her Majesty have her favourites?

Sometimes intimate, often confessional, occasionally explosive, The Audience imagines the private moments that define a changing Britain. One head of state. Endless heads of government. This play asks where the real power lies.

Nuffield Southampton Theatres Director Samuel Hodges directs a brand new version of the award winning play from the writer of the popular TV series The Crown.

The European stage premiere of Khaled Hosseini’s best-selling novel.

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed.

Laila was born a generation later. When Laila is orphaned, her and Mariam’s lives collide as they are forced to share the same husband.

Under the Taliban take over, life is a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. As the war rages and the years pass, the country grows more oppressive and so does Rasheed.

But the bonds of love, family and friendship may offer the only escape and drive them to overcome the most daunting obstacles.

From the writer of The Kite Runner, this is the powerful story of three generations of women discovering strength in unity.

Now-Here: Made in Southampton

Everyone in Southampton knows someone who worked at Ford.

In Swaythling, there stood a factory. Built in 1939 to assemble aircraft parts, it switched to producing parts for Spitfires during the second World War. In 1953, it was taken over by Ford.

For the full programme on Now-Here visit nstheatres.co.uk

Half a century later, Ford moved production of all passenger cars out of the UK, leaving Southampton’s plant as the only British factory. It made the Transit, the iconic white van.

An annual festival of performance, exhibitions, storytelling, music, workshops and lunchtime talks.

Now-Here: Made in Southampton returns to explore the theme of industry and manufacturing in Southampton, inspired by the real life stories of the city’s residents, factories and products.

In 2009, Ford moved production to a new plant in Turkey, reducing the workforce to 500. In 2013, the factory closed down completely.

Join us to celebrate our city’s rich industrial heritage and makers.

Take a seat inside our van and listen to this brand new audio play by local writer Barney Norris.

Based on real-life accounts by former Ford employees who recall a place which, through all its highs and lows, was always at the heart of its community.

From the company who produced the “powerful, political, lyrical” Black Men Walking.

A hysterically funny, witty and wonderful comedy.

A small village in rural Ireland is turned upside down when a major Hollywood studio descends to film a historical blockbuster. Told through the eyes of Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, employed as extras, it becomes clear that Tinseltown’s romanticised dream of Ireland is a long, long way from reality.

Directed by one of the UK’s greatest directors of comedy, Lindsay Posner (Noises Off, The Old Vic; Abigail’s Party, Relatively Speaking and Hay Fever, West End), Stones in his Pockets has won numerous awards, including the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best New Comedy, and three Tony nominations on Broadway.

As Adrian begins his transition, Alice must face a question she never thought she’d ask... does this mean she’s straight?

Antony and Cleopatra

As You Like It

ENCORE

By William Shakespeare

By William Shakespeare

Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo play Shakespeare’s famous fated couple in his great tragedy of politics, passion and power.

Come into the forest; dare to change your state of mind.

Rosalind is banished, wrestling with her heart and her head.

With her cousin by her side, she journeys to a world of exile where barriers are broken down and all can discover their deeper selves. A riotous, exhilarating version of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy.

Photo: Jason Bell

Caesar and his assassins are dead. General Mark Antony now rules and has fallen fiercely in love. In a tragic fight between devotion and duty, obsession becomes a catalyst for war.

Taming of the Shrew

By David Hare

LIVE

By William Shakespeare

Do I run? This is the question which is facing Pauline Gibson when she crosses paths with her old boyfriend, Jack Gould, a stalwart loyalist in Labour Party politics. What’s involved in sacrificing your private life for something more than a single issue? Does she dare?

Photo: Felicity McCabe

LIVE

In a reimagined 1590, England is a matriarchy.

Baptista Minola is seeking to sell off her son Katherine to the highest bidder. Cue an explosive battle of the sexes in this electrically charged love story. Shakespeare’s fierce, energetic comedy of gender and materialism is turned on its head to offer a fresh perspective on its portrayal of hierarchy and power.

Measure for Measure

The Tragedy of King Richard the Second ENCORE

By William Shakespeare ‘To whom should I complain?’

By William Shakespeare

When a young novice nun is compromised by a corrupt official, who offers to save her brother from execution in return for sex, she has no idea where to turn for help. When she threatens to expose him, he tells her that no one would believe her.

Shakespeare wrote this play in the early 1600s, yet it remains astonishingly resonant today.

Tickets £17.50 / Time 19:00

Starring Simon Russell Beale. Richard II, King of England, is irresponsible, foolish and vain. His weak leadership sends his kingdom into disarray and his court into uproar. Seeing no other option but to seize power, the ambitious Bolingbroke challenges the throne and the king’s divine right to rule.
