Check out the shows happening in our Cellar this season...

  • A mature artist, wearing a paint-stained apron, is seen painting a large portrait of a young boy dressed in a World War I soldier's uniform. The boy’s expression is serious, and he wears a traditional military cap. The background features a draped flag, hinting at a wartime setting, with the artist working meticulously on the canvas, capturing the boy’s likeness. The scene evokes a deep sense of history, reflection, and tribute to those involved in the war.

    Shellshocked

    A brilliant new drama from the creative team behind the multi-award-winning plays Jesus, Jane, Mother and Me and LASH. A returning war hero answers an advert posted by the mysterious Mr Lupine. The horrors of WW2 have broken young Wesley, but the madness he encounters in this artist’s studio may push him to destruction...

  • A striking promotional image featuring a woman standing in the surf of a turbulent ocean. She wears a wet green dress and holds a potted plant in one hand and a power strip draped around her shoulders in the other. Her expression is one of determination or bewilderment, with bright red lipstick providing a pop of colour against the muted backdrop. The dramatic waves and surreal props create a sense of absurdity and intrigue.

    Look After Your Knees

    A new solo performance by Natalie Bellingham that celebrates the messy business of being human, sprinkled with joy and ridiculousness. In a blend of comedy, storytelling and movement, Natalie takes a personal journey through the pain and beauty of growing older, connecting and unravelling, holding on and letting go.
