Our Summer Season features both our unique rediscoveries - three classic plays from the 1980s including a devastating report from the frontline of Thatcher's Britain, and an 80th birthday celebration of playwright David Storey; and a feminist classic of the 1970s, commemorating the centenary year of suffragette martyr Emily Wilding Davison - and vibrant new writing -with work from award-winning writers Chris Dunkley and Colleen Murphy.
The season opens with the first London performance in 25 years of Doug Lucie's chillingly funny Hard Feelings, playing today, 13 June-6 July. On Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, 16 June, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 1 and 2 July 2013 is the first London production in nearly 30 years of Early Days in celebration of playwright David Storey's 80th birthday.
Commemorating the centenary year of suffragette martyr Emily Wilding Davison, July sees the first full professional production in more than 35 years of Pam Gems' feminist classic Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi, playing 9 July-3 August 2013; accompanied on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 July 2013 by the world premiere of a new play by award-winning playwright Chris Dunkley, The Precariat.
The season comes to a close with the first UK production in more than 25 years of William M. Hoffman's As Is, playing 6 August-31 August; while, playing on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27 August 2013, we present Colleen Murphy 's Armstrong's War in a "fully staged workshop production" prior to its official world premiere at the renowned Arts Club Theatre in Vancouver, B.C.
You can also see productions originally commissioned by the Finborough Theatre in the West End (London Wall at St James Theatre until 1 June) and Off-Broadway (Cornelius at 59E59 Theaters until 30 June).
