‘She scrubs desperately. Fervently. Furiously. The filth is in the walls and she can feel it in her bones and under her skin.’

As the stench in their building intensifies and infestations spread, a lonely group of tenants starts to ask questions.

But when the housing association barely lifts a finger in support and pest control “don’t deal with maggots”, the neighbours are left to grapple with their suspicions and fears alone – blurring the boundaries of their usually private lives in the process.

Maggots

Bush Theatre

Join Jack and his mum in their family-run Dairy Farm, where business is down, there’s taxes to be paid, and there’s nothing left to do but sell Pat the Cow at Romford Market. Oh, and to top it off, there’s a giant in the sky above Hornchurch, terrorising the town!

Jack and the Beanstalk

Queen's Theatre Hornchurch

Cinderella dreams of a glamorous life far removed from the everyday grind of primping and preening her vain sisters, and an invitation to the Prince’s royal ball is just the ticket! But the Ugly Sisters have other plans for Cinders, confiscating her ticket to the party of the decade… Fear not, for her Fairy Godmother arrives in the nick of time, ready to weave her magic and transform Cinderella’s fortunes! But can she sashay away from the sensational soirée before the clock strikes midnight and her riches turn back to rags once more…?
