Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s fearless masterpiece, five actors create an unapologetic portrait of a woman shaped by her rapidly-changing world.

“Memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.”

She strikes a pose and the camera shutter clicks: A child playing in the debris of the Second World War. Click. A student discovering parties and men’s bodies. Click. An activist fighting for the right to choose. Click. A wife picking out a velvet sofa. Click. A mother taking her eldest to judo. Click. A lover seducing a younger man. Click. A grandmother presenting her granddaughter to the camera. Click.

The Years: West End

Harold Pinter Theatre

Adham is alone outside a Mosque in North London. Waiting. It’s raining. Tea, an umbrella, and friendship arrive. The rest is what you’d expect: a call to adventure in the Alps, a meet-cute over antique books and coffee, a quarrel and a queer love story.

Adham is a silent and brooding middle-aged tragedy. He can’t remember how to pray Salah and his sejadah lies forgotten. Raushan is a talkative and excitable middle-aged tragedy. He is an Imam, a man who bends the rules of faith while teaching Islamic doctrine. When his boss invites him on holiday to “set him up”, the panic-stricken Adham fabricates a husband: but now he’s got to convince someone to act the part… Who best but his Imam and absolutely platonic friend Raushan?

Kings don’t kill their wives alright? It’s not – it just don’t happen. It doesn’t.

Tudor England. 

A field in Essex. 

Three women hurry to their childhood meeting place, thirsty for gossip from London. 

Word spreads of a clash between King Henry VIII and his Queen, Anne Boleyn. And closer to home, another rumour threatens to catch fire.

As these women realise the parallels between their ordinary, rural lives and the royal drama taking place at a distance, they are faced with several choices, all of which end in violence. 

1536

Paddy and Mick were born and raised in Derry and have always dreamed of something more, but when they’re torn apart as children and reunite as adults in London, they discover they’ve grown into two very different people, each with a radically different vision for their future.

Derry Boys is the debut full-length play from emerging Irish writer Niall McCarthy, born from Theatre503’s Rapid Write Response programme. This sharp comedy delves into the complexities of the Irish identity in today’s world. It’s a powerful exploration of what it takes to carve out a place in this world.

Tue 17 Jun - Sat 16 Aug 2025

There is no present or future – only the past, happening over and over again – now.

On a barren farm in Connecticut, Josie Hogan dreams of more. Abandoned by her brothers and trapped with her volatile father, the desire for change feels urgent.  

Haunted by the death of his mother, James Tyrone Jr drinks to cover the pain. Trapped in a spiral of guilt and shame he longs for connection.

When the two are brought together, a single night reveals a devastating truth and both will be altered forever.

A Moon for the Misbegotten

‘All our lives criss-crossing but never really touching.
A world full of strangers living with all that fear.

Widely considered to be one of the 21st century’s greatest novels, Malorie Blackman’s best-selling Noughts & Crosses, a bittersweet love story with echoes of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, is revived for the London stage in this brand-new production.

By a secluded beach Callum and Sephy meet in secret; life-long friends living on separate sides of a divided world. When Callum, from a Nought family, is accepted to Sephy’s prestigious Cross school, will it bring them closer, or will the hate and fear that surrounds them drive them apart?
