In 1964, a new phenomenon exploded onto the dingy British streets. It was the essence of all that was cool. It was Mod. They were working‑class free spirits who rode sexy streamlined Italian Vespas or Lambrettas. The sharpest Mod of all was known as a ‘FACE’. The Small Faces encapsulated all that is Mod, a unique blend of taste and testosterone, neat, clothes obsessed and street‑wise. But these cult sophisticates shared another passion, their dedication to Rhythm ‘n’ Blues. All Or Nothing is a ‘Mod’ Musical celebrating the unique sound of iconic Mod band, The Small Faces. Featuring the music of the Small Faces, including an arsenal of brilliant hits Whatcha Gonna Do About It, All Or Nothing, Tin Soldier, Lazy Sunday, Here Comes The Nice and Itchycoo Park.

Kensington Palace, 1993. She was the Diana of her day. That day has gone. But HRH The Princess Margaret, the most glamorous figure of her generation, has one final chance to be of service.

While the Royal Family is at Balmoral, she removes several bags of correspondence from the Queen Mother’s home, including potentially sensational letters from Prince Charles – and Diana, Princess of Wales. She means to burn them all.But there are other papers, relating to Margaret herself, and an older scandal… When an ex-gangster arrives to bring her even closer to her past, the Queen’s sister has the choice to make or break her family yet again.Stephanie Beacham, world-famous and acclaimed for her work on television (The Colbys, Dynasty, Bad Girls), film and stage, returns to the theatre to create the role of Princess Margaret, as iconic as anything she has played before.With a star cast including Jason Merrells (Emmerdale, Waterloo Road) as ex-gangster John Bindon, and an award-winning creative team, A Princess Undone – inspired by actual events – is one of the most riveting new plays of the year.

RAFFLESTHE MYSTERY OF THE MURDERED THIEF

A sparkling whodunit based on the thrilling classics by E W Hornung.Harry “Bunny” Manders is convinced that his erstwhile partner in crime, the gentleman cracksman A.J. Raffles, drowned while escaping a daring theft aboard a transatlantic liner. But a chance reply to a newspaper advertisement reveals an entirely different scenario, and at once Bunny is embroiled again in his old life of burglary, mayhem, adventure and murder!Bunny is played by Ian Sharrock, hugely familiar to audiences from his ten years as Jackie Merrick in Emmerdale, while his other TV appearances include Heartbeat, The Bill, Casualty, Where The Heart Is and, perhaps most memorably, as Jed Maxwell, Alan Partridge’s biggest and most scarily obsessive fan in I’m Alan Partridge.From the company behind Father Brown ‑ The Curse of the Invisible Man, Raffles ‑ The Mystery of the Murdered Thief promises more of the same.
