Firebrand (15)
Dir: Karim Aïnouz 2023 | 120 mins
In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas.
Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine’s childhood friend with treason.
Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath – for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?
Starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law.

Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me)
A one man staging of Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost – but nothing like you’d expect.
The highlights of this well-known story about Creation are combined with the struggles of modern life. From juggling a work-life balance to wrangling the children into the car.
Olivier award nominee Sharif Afifi plays seven different characters – from Adam and Eve to himself and his wife in the present day.
Combining comedy, theatre and music this is a funny and engaging show. For anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.
Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me) premiered in May 2015 at Battersea Arts Centre and was shortlisted for a 2015 Total Theatre Award. It has toured to over 60 venues both nationally and internationally.

Omid Djalili - Namaste
The Persian Comedy Powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show.
Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet.
No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them.
You have been warned.
'So hysterically funny and at the same time so poignant and powerful that calling it stand-up barely does it justice' Michael Levin, Huffington Post
With support from Boothby Graffoe.
Suitable for ages 16+ years.
