YOUNG MARX
SUN • NOV 25, 2018 • 2:00PM
1850, and Europe’s most feared terrorist is hiding in Dean Street,
Soho. Broke, restless and horny, the thirty-two-year-old revolutionary
is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric
wit and child-like emotional illiteracy. With his writing blocked, his
marriage dying, and his friend Engels in despair at his wasted genius,
his only hope is a job on the railway.
But there’s still no one in the capital who can show you a better night
on the town than Karl Heinrich Marx. From the creative team behind
One Man, Two Guvnors, this comedy stars Rory Kinnear (Penny
Dreadful) as Marx and Oliver Chris (the British version of The Offi ce)
as Engels.
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
SUN • JAN 27, 2019 • 2:00PM
On a steamy night in 1950’s Mississippi, a Southern family gathers
at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The
scorching heat is almost as oppressive as the lies they tell. Brick and
Maggie dance round the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to
destroy their marriage. With the future of the family at stake, which
version of the truth is real – and which will win out? Sienna Miller,
Jack O’Connell and Colm Meaney star in this Tennessee Williams’
twentieth century masterpiece.
