Julius Caesar
Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
Various dates
Set in an ageless, dystopian bohemia, we are confronted with the remains of a once strong and powerful Rome. A city which has decayed into a society of corruption and lawlessness, now governed in name by the powerful Matriarch known as Caesar, but in reality by violence, ambition and brutality.
Immersion Theatre Company graphically bring to life this gritty, gothic underworld, verging on the brink of in-yer-face theatre.
Women of Troy
Brockley Jack Theatre
Various dates
Amidst the slaughter and ruins of Troy, the women wait to be handed out to the victors. Hecuba, Queen of Troy, must confront both a bleak future and Helen, the woman who brought this humiliation to them all. From despair, an all-female ensemble move towards hope and fortitude, through means of a dramatic fusion of text, movement and music.

Greenwich Playhouse
Various dates
Greenwich Playhouse's final production before closing!
The Duchess of Malfi daringly exposes all that is admirable and reprehensible in the human nature. It does so unapologetically, sometimes shockingly and often in a poetic and spiritually uplifting manner. Alice de Sousa's original script, which is inspired by John Webster's extraordinary stage play, draws on all these influences to provide an entirely modern, visually arresting, design led and filmic reworking of this greatly enduring classic.
Ondine by Jean Giradoux
White Bear Theatre
Various dates
'Ondine is strange, my lord. You saw her tonight in the storm. It's not that she's in the storm. She is the storm. There's more than beauty in Ondine. There is power.' When Hans and Ondine meet, the worlds of mortal man and magical creatures collide dangerously. Ondine is forced to make an inexorable pact which changes their lives forever. Should he betray her, he must die and, along with her time on earth, be released completely from her memory for her to return to the world of the lake forever.

Founded in 1980, the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre, led by Artistic Director Neil McPherson, presents plays and music theatre, concentrated exclusively on the most thought provoking text-based new writing, as well as rediscovering genuinely neglected works from the 19th and 20th centuries, many produced or co-produced in-house. We aim to offer a stimulating and inclusive programme, appealing to theatregoers of all generations and from a broad spectrum of the population.
Despite remaining completely unfunded, the Finborough Theatre has an unparalleled track record of maintaining an excellence throughout all our work on a par with the larger subsidised theatres, whilst maintaining the freedom and intimacy of our home above a pub in Earl's Court. We attract the finest creative talent to work with us, as well as discovering new practitioners who go on to become leading voices in British theatre.
Behind the scenes, we continue to discover and develop a new generation of theatre makers - through our vibrant Literary Department, our hugely successful internship programme, our Resident Assistant Director Programme, and our partnership with the National Theatre Studio – the Leverhulme Bursary for Emerging Directors.
