The Best Thing

By Nic Young

TUE 3 MAY 7.30PM

WED 4 MAY 7.30PM

THU 5 MAY 7.30PM

Presented by Icarus Theatre Collective

Presented by Vamos Theatre Company

A world premiere - the first theatre adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s chilling masterpiece. William Dyer is brought vividly to life, trapped and tormented by visions of what he saw – and what he could not possibly have seen – in those ancient, Antarctic Mountains of Madness.

Following a highly successful tour and multiple four-star reviews, Tim Hardy brings his witty, chilling and passionate one-man rollercoaster to the UK. Focusing on the events surrounding Galileo’s heresy trial in 1633, the show demonstrates his battle to enlighten the Christian world while attempting to escape persecution.

The nation’s favourite psychic Sally Morgan is back and better than ever with her brand new and most jaw-dropping show yet. Funny, entertaining, sometimes heart breaking and often controversial; the show celebrates her 8th year on the road. This fantastic and unique evening is not to be missed. Book now to see this phenomenal psychic in action! Please note: Sally is investigational and the show is for the purpose of entertainment.

SPECIAL OFFER

Book and pay for both Icarus plays at same time £24 (£12 per ticket). Offer not valid with Friends discount.
