Adventurer: Bernard Miles and the Mermaid Theatre Adventurer: Bernard Miles and the Mermaid Theatre tells the story of one of British theatre’s great originals.

Actor, writer, director, life peer and founder of the Mermaid Theatre, Bernard Miles was a force of nature: visionary, eccentric, determined and impossible to ignore. Alan Strachan’s richly entertaining biography follows Miles from his work on screen to his extraordinary mission to build a new theatre in post-Blitz London — bringing fresh plays to the public and breathing new life into the classics.

Full of backstage stories, larger-than-life characters and the sheer grit it takes to make theatre happen, Adventurer is a must-read for anyone fascinated by British theatre history, the Mermaid Theatre, and the people who changed the cultural landscape.

Available now from Wordville.

A fierce, funny and tender solo show about survival, transition, grief, chosen family and the radical possibility of growing older.

On the eve of her thirty-fifth birthday, Bayley confronts a myth that has haunted trans women: the idea that they may not live beyond thirty-five. What follows is a deeply human piece about mortality, resilience and imagining yourself into the future.

Created with Jo Clifford, Thirty-Six is intimate, political and full of life.

MONKEYFACE by Raphael Phillips opens at London's Riverside Studios this July.

Trapped inside a university bedroom, Monkeyface captures the euphoric highs and crushing lows of Freshers Week: toxic friendships, club culture, queer nightlife and the aching need for connection.

Written and performed by Raphael Phillips and directed by Mojola Akinyemi, Monkeyface plays at Riverside Studios from 6–21 July.

Book now via Riverside Studios or pick up a copy of the playtext from Salamander Street.

A four-star review for A Fine Idea at Arcola Theat A four-star review for A Fine Idea at Arcola Theatre.

“the piece lays the ground to take the conversation beyond bookshelves and keeps an urgent topic alive through a sharp story with passionate characters and a clear-eyed focus.”
★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective

Christine Bacon’s urgent, provocative new play asks uncomfortable questions about aid, power, charity and who gets to decide what “doing good” really means.

Playing at Arcola Theatre until 4 July.
Book available from Salamander Street.

Before it heads to Edinburgh Fringe, Judas Exclusive comes to King’s Head Theatre for one night only on Wednesday 1 July at 7pm.

Mere days after the death of Jesus Christ, Judas makes his first public appearance on Simona Tonight, a failing late-night talk show desperate for one last ratings miracle.

Expect betrayal, scandal, public shame, celebrity culture and a broadcast collapsing in real time.
