In a world driven by routine and ruled by expectation, one woman’s life spirals from quiet discontent to unthinkable violence. Trapped in a loveless marriage and suffocating under the weight of daily life, she dares to seek something more—only to find herself hurtling toward a shocking fate.
Sophie Treadwell’s Machinal is a gripping psychological drama, rich in tension and atmosphere. Inspired by true events, it’s a powerful portrait of a woman pushed beyond her limits.

BRIGHT is an epic, ambitious and witty multi-narrative new work set in 1818 London. Dickensian in flavour, it focuses upon the Pittfield family - a large, loveable, basement-dwelling family who are attempting to escape their grinding existence.
From grave-robbing to laundry to bare-fisted boxing, their halcyon dreams illuminate the endlessly bleak shadows. A cracking good yarn - a theatrical 'page-turner' - BRIGHT is an urgent and pertinent exploration of the future of young people in a dangerous and uncertain world.
Two years in the making, written and directed by Sean Riley, and featuring a cast of fifteen of Free Agents Youth Theatre’s brilliant young actors and creatives, this is a MUST SEE for all theatre lovers!
Suitable for ages 14+
Duration: 2hrs (incl interval)

These are productions that have already captivated audiences, award-winning works, sold-out seasons, and unforgettable performances that deserve a second life. COMEBACK exists to celebrate exceptional independent theatre and bring it back to the stage for new audiences to discover. Running across three curated weeks in August 2026, COMEBACK reimagines the traditional theatre-going experience as something immersive, social, and deeply human.

The Thunderbolt ignites when a wealthy bachelor and owner of a brewery dies—without a will—and his estranged, bickering siblings scramble for a fortune they believe is theirs. But when a secret daughter steps forward, the gloves come off.
Arthur Wing Pinero’s razor-sharp comedy crackles with inheritance intrigue, family feuds, and moral reckonings. A biting, brilliant Edwardian satire that still hits home today.
Don’t miss this deliciously dramatic battle of bloodlines and bank balances!
Directed by Libby Drake
