The true story of one woman's extraordinary journey to overcome the brutality of slavery.
Mary Prince was born into slavery in the British colony of Bermuda. She went on to become an auto-biographer and champion of freedom. Her book had an electrifying effect on the abolitionist movement helping to free many Africans in bondage.
This is a masterpiece of Black British theatre, inspired by the storytelling traditions of the West African Griot.

Peter Pan and Captain Cook
Told through a Big Book which transforms into the galley of a ship, forest, skyline with beautiful hand drawn illustrations.
Our mysterious narrator tells us the tale of Peter Pan and his battle with his nemesis Captain Cook, known for his evil saucepans and dastardly cook-offs. Join him on his journey to Neverland, get more lost then you ever have before with the Lost Boys and maybe even help fight off some pirate baddies…
Come with us as you fly into an imaginative and absurd Neverland, where anything can happen…if you believe, and can cook it, of course.
Suitable for ages 4+ years.
Jarman
A mighty spirit is about to reawaken. Yours.
Derek Jarman: film-maker, painter, gardener at Prospect Cottage, gay rights activist, writer... his influence remains as strong as it was on the day AIDS killed him in 1994.
But his story, one of the most extraordinary lives ever lived, has never been told. Until now.
This vibrant solo play from Mark Farrelly (Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope) brings Derek back into being for a passionate, daring reminder of the courage it takes to truly live while you're alive. A journey from Dungeness to deepest, brightest Soho and into the heart of one of our most iconoclastic artists.
Jarman’s works include taboo-breaking films like Sebastiane, Jubilee and Caravaggio; pop videos for the Pet Shop Boys (It’s A Sin and Rent); his extraordinary borderless garden in Dungeness; his shocking last paintings; and his unforgettable final film Blue, consisting of a single continuous frame of blue and chronicling what it’s like to lose your sight… but never your artistic vision.
Mark Farrelly's performance in Jarman is nominated Best Solo Performance in the 2023 Off-West End Awards
