Going for Gold is a hard-hitting play inspired by Going for Gold is a hard-hitting play inspired by the life of Frankie Lucas — a Windrush-generation middleweight who fights for recognition in and out of the ring. Set in a London boxing gym, it’s a story of ambition, love, injustice and the cost of being “robbed” of your moment. 

Available from Salamander Street.

Nowhere by Khalid Abdalla is heading to Tāwhiri Wa Nowhere by Khalid Abdalla is heading to Tāwhiri Warehouse for the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts. 

An intricate, playful solo show inspired by Khalid's involvement in the Egyptian revolution of 2011 — and the counter-revolution that followed. Set against a cartography of seismic world events, it brings the personal and political together and asks: how did we get here, and how do we find agency in the mazes of history?

Tāwhiri Warehouse
4–5 March, 7pm

Cast: 2–7 (flexible casting)

70 minutes

Ideal for paired scene study (status shifts, pace, subtext, emotional turns)

“Wonderfully anarchic and funny, but also dark and foreboding.”
★★★★ Theatre Tonic 

A brilliant choice for drama schools, studio productions, fringe companies, and anyone hunting for a contemporary play that really tests two performers.

COMING SOON: Anton Chekhov — Little Comedies Next COMING SOON: Anton Chekhov — Little Comedies

Next in Salamander Street Classics: Anton Chekhov’s Little Comedies — five sharp, joyful short plays translated by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, and adapted by Richard Nelson to play as a single evening.

Witty, humane and bitingly observant, these comedies capture Chekhov at his most mischievous: love, money, pride and pretence—revealed in miniature, with maximum impact.

Publishing 17 March 2026.

Huge congratulations to Mark Harrington on winning Huge congratulations to Mark Harrington on winning the Music & Drama Education Awards 2026 Drama Inspiration Award.

“The judges appreciated Mark’s innovative approaches to teaching and commended his inspiring and inclusive work enriching the lives of SEND learners with drama, which was shown to have had a transformational impact on many. Judges admired his use of inclusion as a creative tool, rather than a provision.”

We’re proud to publish Mark’s work at Salamander Street, including his three books: Play Virtual, Live Real, This Is Breck, and Breck and the Online Troll. A richly deserved recognition for a teacher and author whose work is changing lives.

'Too Much Punch For Judy' by Mark Wheeller is a ha 'Too Much Punch For Judy' by Mark Wheeller is a hard-hitting verbatim play rooted in a tragic drink-driving accident. When the crash kills Jo, the front-seat passenger, her sister Judy — who was driving — survives physically unhurt, but can’t escape the consequences of that reckless decision.

It’s a powerful text for KS3/4 and GCSE Drama, offering rich opportunities for discussion, contextual exploration, physicalisation and a mix of narration, naturalistic dialogue, duologues and chorus work.

Performed in 6000+ licensed productions and cited in Drama GCSE Chief Examiner reports as a play that gives students ample opportunity to achieve across the criteria.

Special offer bundle available: 15 paperbacks + DVD + digital PDF resource (24% discount) from Salamander Street.
