The Hands That Moved the Clock
An original play by Zoe Levin
Nora and Tessa have spent the last eight years investigating the disappearance of their childhood friend. When a strange new neighbour begins to show an interest in their mission, they are pulled into a mystery spanning past, present, and future.

Orlando
Adapted for stage by Neil Bartlett
Orlando tracks the journey of its time-travelling protagonist from the Elizabethan Court to the 20th century. Through a shared creative process, Orlando, Mrs Grimswitch, and the troupe of Virginias free write a story of Orlando’s sex, gender, travels, and romances.
