Congratulations Daniel, enjoy […]

Jessica Osorio introduces Switzerland by Joanna Murray-Smith. You recently directed Bombshells by Joanna Murray-Smith in November 2020. What inspired you to take on another of her productions? I had originally submitted another play but as the rights were no longer available, I needed to find another play that was suitable in the current climate. I really enjoyed the writing and characters in Bombshells and had already read Switzerland previously prior to submitting last season. Although I had never read any […]

November 23-27 Running time: TBC Elizabeth I is the only unmarried woman to have ever ruled England. And she reigned for forty-four years. Mastermind. Seductress. Survivor. Swive (Elizabeth) shines a light on the ways and means by which women in power negotiate patriarchal pressure to get their way. It premiered in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2019. Director: Caroline Beckett Cast: Elizabeth Q – Annabel SheenElizabeth P – Charlotte Lee Windell Catherine Parr/Mary – Jenny McLaughlin Katherine Grey/Washerwoman – Sarah Pearcey […]

Director: Barry Hooper Cast: Charlotte BrownRóisín Deady Shivani Kapur Elly Meacham Jacqueline Ozorio

October 12-16 Running time: 2 hours 20 minutes (including a 15 minute interval) Vivian Mercer famously described this as a play in which “nothing happens, twice”. It has become a modern classic. Two tramps, Estragon and Vladimir, wait in a barren landscape for Godot to come. Pozzo and Lucky, a master and servant, arrive and join them briefly. A boy brings hopeful messages. In the second act, this happens again. The interdependence of Gogo and Didi is lightened by quick […]
Panit Chantranuluck introduces Silence/Night – A double bill of plays by Harold Pinter What inspired you to direct this double bill of plays? I love how Pinter wrote without strict adherence to grammar, or even context. As a non-native English speaker and native Thai speaker myself, I found it quite fascinating and similar to the way Thai speak. Silence and Night are two very different plays, but both explore the same themes: memory and love. For most people, love is, […]
Jeanette Hoile announces her cast for Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett “Some excellent performances during auditions gave me difficult decisions to make, to find the right permutation of actors to do justice to this wonderful 20th century classic. I am confident that this combination of seasoned SLT performers and exciting new talent will provide an engaging and entertaining production for audiences. For those who don’t know the play, it will introduce them to the surreal and fascinating world of […]
