Corkscrew Theatre bring Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy and redemption to the ADC this Christmas – featuring this rather difficult stage direction (how will they do that?).

The beast inside the room is of course Leontes, King of Sicilia, who pursues his wife Hermione to an early grave (it seems), suspecting her of an affair with his best friend.

A heady mix of dark and light, tragedy and comedy, and finally redemption (with a sprinkling of snow).

The Man Who Argued Himself To Death, a blisteringly funny satirical comedy by Colin Swash.

The Big Olive. Athens. Before B.C. existed. The populists are on the rise and they’re looking for a scapegoat.

Sound familiar? Any old goat will do. Enter Socrates. He opens his mouth and soon he’s on trial for his life.

The Man Who Argued Himself To Death

What is it like to live with a parent who doesn’t want to be here? Is it your fault? Can you do anything to make it better? Every Brilliant Thing reminds us of the power of human connection and that things can improve even in the darkest moments.

Every Brilliant Thing

Corpus Playroom

Aaron Sorkin’s iconic drama follows two Marines who have confessed to a murder at Guantanamo Bay, and challenges all of our preconceptions about what the truth really is…

From Cuba to Washington DC and finally to epic courtroom scenes the dark rituals of a Marine Corp which values the ‘Unit’ above God, country and the law come shockingly to the stage.

A Few Good Men

What happens when you encounter an invention that could change the world? And who would you destroy to take control of it?

A Professor of linguistics, his prize PHD student and an ambitious computer science undergraduate wrestle for control of a new, logical language which will transform the way we communicate.

Jamie Rycroft’s new play for Corkscrew Theatre explores both the current zeitgeist and the age-old human traits of ambition and greed. Let the games begin.
