Alice Howland is stubborn, clever and driven – a professional at the top of her game. But, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 50, she is compelled to confront her new reality and draw on her resilience to remain independent for as long as possible. Alice strives to remain true to the woman she has always been, while relationships shift within her family, in her work and most importantly with herself.
Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black celebrates dancers of black and Asian descent, showcasing technique, precision and grace in specially commissioned pieces.
Uncompromising yet tender, this new adaptation of the award-winning Friends & Corporate Club: novel truthfully acknowledges life with a progressive disease – its Half price first night conflicts and burden, and its small, priceless victories.
Completing the evening is Arthur Pita’s Olivier nominated A Dream Within A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The production mixes classical and contemporary to distil the essence of Shakespeare’s comedy, unfolding to the eclectic sounds of Eartha Kitt, Barbra Streisand, Yma Sumac and more.

PAUL MERTON’S IMPRO CHUMS
There has never been a better time to be an American comedian in the UK. The Hoedown begins as a withering dissection of Trump’s America, but ends up being a celebration of Americana. There’s ‘blissfully funny’ (The Guardian) - stand-up, improvised ballads, cracking good musicianship, and ultimately a hilarious, footstomping, sh*t-kicking good time to be had by all. Even if you don’t own a hoe. Likely to be swearing and adult content. Age recommendation 14+

Paul Merton, Lee Simpson, Richard Vranch, Suki Webster, Mike McShane and accompanist Kirsty Newton are back on the road. The collective improvisational experience embodied in the Chums is enough to stun an elephant. They flex their improvisational muscles to delight and entertain audiences in this country and abroad. Age recommendation 14+ 7
