Adult Comedy - until March, 2, 2024

Check ticket source links for all dates and times

It's that time of the year and our now infamous Adult Panto is back in Hitchin as well as on a UK tour of over 30 venues. Once again we are out to corrupt another classic fairy tale beyond recognition.

Can the fearless company of just 3 actors hold it all together and pull off their very own adult version of Beauty and the Beast using a minimum of set props and costume?

Get ready for another evening of slick, fast-moving, farcical fun and bawdy sexual innuendo for adults only.

Not suitable for under 16's.

All Tickets £19.50 (plus booking fees)

Dear England

Live screening from the National Theatre at the Studio Queen Mother Theatre

Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid's Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham's (Sherwood) gripping examination of nation and game.

The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. 

Why can't England's men win at their own game?

With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take team and country back to the promised land.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Rupert Goold (Judy) directs this spectacular new play.
