The Overwhelming

26 Sep - 30 Sep

Direct from its run at the National Theatre: a chilling, tropical thriller in which no-one is quite what they seem.

1994. An American family arrive in beautiful, tiny Rwanda and find themselves out of their depth.

Struggling academic Jack Exley makes enemies when he tries to solve a mysterious disappearance. His teenage son finds grown-up trouble in Kigali’s nightclubs. And his ambitious new wife goes on a sightseeing trip that not even her Detroit childhood can prepare her for. Then Jack discovers the lists…

A gripping story of a country on the brink of genocide.

Coach and Bossman are a dynamic duo tearing up the airwaves at Borough FM. Together they have become radio heroes, but someone’s getting above their station, putting Borough FM in the shade. There’s a storm brewing and the live phone-ins might not be able to provide all the answers. United they may stand but divided….

93.2FM is a sharp comedy about friendship, depicting the age-old dilemma of ‘underground’ versus ‘mainstream’ and how to remain loyal to your roots while following your dreams. It’s about achieving your goals and what may, or may not be compromised along the way

The Way Home

20 Oct - 11 Nov

“That is why the good lord made this earth for us. T’explore. I don’t think it’s right for human beings t’stay in one place their whole life… not good for their body and mind.”

Bobby, Paul and Ange. Four walls, three people, the basic recipe for family life.

Down the road in Oil Street there are no walls, just wheels, and a fierce sense of belonging that has nothing to do with place.

Two ways of life: yards apart and yet worlds apart.

But when Bobby starts skipping school to hang out with Danny, their friendship forces both families to look beyond the walls that divide them.
