Where Would You Like To Start?

'It confuses me, sometimes. I just wanna be and say and do without having to go in the maze where people wave madly at each other and smile, while following their own secret routes.'

Frances and Jonah are the happiest they've ever been. With changing friendships, doubt-inducing jobs, and an overheard therapy session however - is it true that you can only trust yourself?

Follow Frances and Jonah, Sadie and Rich, two couples, two friends, in Shaw Productions’ new play.

Let the Wind Have It is a collection of three short plays by Tennessee Williams exploring themes of loss, loneliness and abandonment. These touching pieces contain some of Williams' most adventurous writing, and foreshadow characters and ideas he would go on to develop in his major works.

Featuring This Property is Condemned, Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily? and Mister Paradise.

TONIGHT

The Man Who Thought He Was A Baboon is BACK 🐒

Teenage Hugo had no idea that howling at the moon like a wolf would turn him into the black sheep. The brutal punishment that followed from his family became a shame he vowed to keep to himself.

Adult Hugo, far removed from his dark childhood, now lives a quiet life with his wife, Summer… til one event changes everything: the eye-watering inheritance left to him by his beloved aunt.

Summer and the newly-hired village doctor start to carefully convince Hugo that he's a baboon.

If only Hugo had kept that secret to himself.

A dramatic presentation, integrating the work of visual artist Vivien Delta. Presented by Pulp House & Drayton Arms Theatre

The Two-Character Play
By Tennessee Williams

An intimate two-hander about a brother and sister bound together by love, but also by circumstance and a past trauma that has slowly cut them off from the outside world.

At its heart it is a play about those who are deemed too broken, too strange, too damaged to belong and what becomes of them when the world walks away.

Reimagined through a South Asian lens because the truth we keep returning to is that this story was never anyone's to keep, and always everyone's to tell.
