The Almighty Sometimes

Diagnosed with a severe mental illness as a child, Anna was prescribed a cocktail of pills. Now, as a young adult, she discovers notebooks of amazingly imaginative stories which she wrote as a child. So, she wonders where that creative skill has gone, and what her life might be without the pills, and the labels that have defined her life. Her mother feels compelled to intervene - threatening the fragile balance they’ve both fought so hard to maintain.

The Cherry Orchard

Having run away to Paris ten years ago, Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to Russia, to find her childhood home drowning in debt. She and her brother snub the proposed scheme of former serf, Lopakhin, to sell their beloved cherry orchard to developers, and save the estate.

Swinging between comedy and tragedy, Chekhov’s final play, written 13 years before the Revolution, depicts lives lost in nostalgia, and struggling to survive in a new world.

London Assurance

Ludicrous, ageing, London dandy, Sir Harcourt Courtly, is lured away from the epicentre of fashionable society, by the promise of a rich, beautiful bride - Grace Harkaway - several decades his junior. Arriving in the country, he quickly finds Grace’s charms eclipsed by her hearty, fox-hunting cousin, Lady Gay Spanker. Meanwhile, his hell-raising son, Charles, turns up, and falls madly in love with Grace. And, so, the complications begin to spiral!
