Dan’s discovered lost canals, lost railways, and a million lost golf balls, and found connections to Margate, Charles Darwin, the man who designed the most reproduced work of art ever, and Jonah.

Two terrible twins with a talent for turmoil rule their school with terror and tyranny - until the arrival of a new head teacher with green scaly skin, sharp gnarly fangs, and a long spiky tail…

A couple are deciding their future. Thirtysomething, educated and thoughtful, they want to have a child for the right reasons. But in a time of overpopulation, erratic weather and political unrest, what exactly are the right reasons? A play about the different types of love we feel in a lifetime.

Cast - Sian Reese-Williams Abdul Salis Writer - Duncan Macmillan Direction - George Perrin Design - Lucy Osborne Lighting - Emma Chapman

The multi-award winning, worldwide hit play.

WORLD PREMIERE

by Dennis Kelly

“I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years and still not leave a carbon footprint as big as if I have a child. Ten thousand tonnes of CO2. That’s the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I’d be giving birth to the Eiffel Tower.”

This is part of the Opera for All programme and will be a relaxed performance with activities for younger audience members happening throughout and featuring live local school performances before the film and during the interval. Please bring a picnic with you, for this ‘once in a lifetime’ event. Supported by the Arts Council, England, Magna Vitae and Awards for All.

Paines Plough presents the world premiere of a gripping thriller from last year’s Fringe First Award winner Alexandra Wood. A man turns up at Lucy’s door claiming to be the brother she hasn’t seen in 10 years. But why has he come? Is it really him? And what happens when there’s another knock at the door? Forced to confront the messy inner workings of sibling love with its petty resentments, casual cruelty, profound betrayals and implicit understanding, can the bond between brother and sister be rebuilt? An intriguing tale of loss, renewal and knowing who to trust.
