KAILEY
Kailey’s mum’s been sent to prison, and she needs to grow up – fast.
Inspired by writer Kerry Wright’s own lived experience, Kailey is a bold new play that shines a light on society’s forgotten young people. Funny and searingly honest, Kailey doesn’t ask for sympathy; it demands you look closer.

MONUMENT
A one-woman comedy drag show with audience participation, rap and pickled gherkins.
Set at mysterious construction sites in Czechoslovakia and the UK, Monument asks about the real cost and purpose of hard-work.

You’d be mad to myth it!

MUTTON
1809. Mary Bateman is about to be hung for witchcraft and murder. Her career of crime has included poisoned pudding, a holy hen, a fire at the mill and…a freshly-shaved leg of MUTTON. A dark comedy, exploring the life of the Yorkshire Witch. And why we should shove patriarchal history firmly up a chicken’s arse.
And of course our touring double bill A Proper Merry Christmess and A Town Called Christmas are now on sale too.
You are not going to want to miss Wrongsemble’s magical family show about the true meaning of the season, and our brand new dark comedy (not for kids) about what Christmas truly means for most of us.
We look forward to seeing you at one or all of the performances!
