One night to learn a lifetime Created by National Theatre of Scotland J is 16. She has lived in care all her life. Tonight is her first night on her own — in a ‘practice flat’ set up to help her leave the care system. A gateway to the outside world, it is a witness to countless hopes, fears and memories. 365 follows a group of young people who pass through the flat, taking their first faltering steps towards adulthood and independence. The National Theatre of Scotland’s Artistic Director Vicky Featherstone has created a powerfully visual piece of theatre, with choreography from Steven Hoggett (Frantic Assembly), songs from Paul Buchanan (The Blue Nile) and text from David Harrower, one of Britain’s leading playwrights whose acclaimed work includes the Olivier award-winning Blackbird.

Created by Sophie Woolley A maudlin drunk falls asleep in his kebab and a horny artist totters around asking for a slap. It’s business as usual for Jenghiz at his west London takeaway. But when a bored teenager rocks up looking for trouble, a fi ght starts, the row snowballs, traffic crashes and romance blossoms. Sophie Woolley has won herself an army of fans with her DJ Bird diaries in Sleaze Nation and her hit show When to Run. All performances will be captioned. Directed by Gemma Fairlie Cast includes Sophie Woolley
‘I’m a huge fan. She’s massively talented.’ Irvine Welsh ‘Like cult British TV show Nighty Night or Chris Morris’ trend-destroying series Nathan Barley, Woolley writes dark, hilarious stories that capture a single idea or person in thrilling, hyper-real detail.’ Electronic Beats

Directed by Wes Williams Cast includes Ed Gaughan, Phil Robson, Christine Tobin and Dave Whitford

Created by Peepolykus Written by Steven Canny and John Nicholson Directed by David Farr Legal theatrical disclaimer: Peepolykus — ‘people-like-us’ — absolutely deny all allegations that they might be about to unleash a completely fictitious, untrue, comedy about the poisoning of a Russian dissident in London. Contrary to state speculation, Spyski! is therefore not a fast-paced comic thriller of international espionage and global politics, which contains shocking revelations about the world we live in. Over the past 10 years Peepolykus have won fans worldwide with their hilarious collision of verbal surprises and visual ingenuity. Now, following their acclaimed West End hit, The Hound of the Baskervilles, they are turning their hand to Oscar Wilde. Or are they?

By William Shakespeare Created by Frantic Assembly This is a world of broken glass and beatings in the car park. There’s tension around the pool table, cues in hand. And it’s all about to kick off…
‘The indefatigably inventive Frantic Assembly.’ Daily Telegraph
Frantic Assembly return to the Lyric with this electrifying take on Shakespeare’s gripping tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder. Fusing a taut adaptation of this classic play with its trademark hard-hitting choreography, Frantic Assembly takes a scalpel to 21st century Britain, exposing prejudice, danger and fear. Here, violence is a way of life and reputation is everything.
Adapted and Directed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett Designed by Laura Hopkins Lighting by Natasha Chivers Sound by Gareth Fry Soundtrack by Hybrid Choreography by Scott Graham, Steven Hoggett & company
Frantic Assembly’s distinct physical style mixes movement, design, text and cinematic soundtracks. Their recent work includes Stockholm, Dirty Wonderland, and pool (no water).

Christmas for everyone aged 7+ Written by Ben Power and Melly Still Directed by Melly Still It’s winter. The King has declared that there will be a glittering festival of music, magic and dancing so that his son can find the girl of his dreams. Everyone is invited to his enchanting palace. BUT… Cinderella won’t be going to the Ball — unless she manages to complete the impossible tasks her sisters have set her. Cinderella is determined. Maybe her friends from the forest can help her? Melly Still, the acclaimed director of Coram Boy and Watership Down, returns to the original story by the Brothers Grimm to create a spellbinding show for the whole family to enjoy. The Lyric will be transformed into a spine-tingling winter wonderland by designer Sophia Clist (Theatre-Rites) and music from Norwegian ice-musician, Terje Isungset, to make Cinderella the only show to see this Christmas.
