Scissors by Chris Bush

A former rock star inherits a derelict factory in Sheffield and wants to turn it into a thriving music venue. No, wait: her niece has inherited it, and has plans for luxury apartments. Hang on – it’s not derelict: it’s a working scissors factory with a big order from China. But why is its young workforce so skint?

Part of a triptych of plays by award-winning playwright Chris Bush (Rock/Paper/Scissors), audiences are invited to experience Scissors uniquely blended with extracts from Rock and Paper, performed in this way for the very first time. This vibrant play asks searching questions about our cities and the future generations that will live in them.

Rock ‘n’ Roll by Tom Stoppard

With razor sharp wit and humanity, Rock ‘n’ Roll catapults us into the wild months of the Prague uprising of 1968.  It races through the years that follow, as future generations fight over what it means to be free, confronting sickness and death, while defending their dreams and love for the Rock music that shaped their lives.

A Vampire Story by Moira Buffini

“People will believe the most fabulous tale you can tell.  It’s the one they secretly long for.  It must be unprovable, impossible, fantastical.”

Two young women arrive in a nameless British town.  Their names are not their own.  They have come from some trouble somewhere.  They don’t declare their ages.  Are they sisters, or are they mother and daughter?  This dazzling play shifts from today to 1822, and then to both periods at once as fantasy reveals truths that we all recognise.
