Have you got your tickets yet? MONKEYFACE by Rap Have you got your tickets yet? 

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.

What begins as something familiar slowly unravels into a raw portrait of a young Black gay student fighting to stay afloat in a world not built to hold him.

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.
Tonight, Judas Iscariot tells his side of the stor Tonight, Judas Iscariot tells his side of the story.

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.

Written by Will McDowell
Directed by Charlotte Rooney-Baker
Presented by MOOJ Productions

Jade is back at Soho Theatre today — and there are Jade is back at Soho Theatre today — and there are only a handful of tickets left.

Eat the Rich (but maybe not me mates x) is bold, funny and gloriously chaotic: a razor-sharp new show about class, ambition, money, survival and the questionable choices we make when we’re trying to get ahead.

Big hair. Bigger opinions. Very limited tickets.

Catch Jade at Soho Theatre before it sells out. You'll kick yourself if you don't see it.

An intricate, playful and urgent solo show, Nowhere brings together the personal and political as Abdalla traces his own history through the Egyptian revolution, colonialism and decolonisation, friendship, loss and the search for agency in a fractured world.

Described by The Guardian as “an audacious and radical message for peace”, this is theatre for anyone who believes performance can help us ask bigger questions about where we are, how we got here, and what we do next.

Tue 2 – Sat 7 June

For actors, drama students and small theatre compa For actors, drama students and small theatre companies looking for sharp, funny, queer new writing, COWBOYS AND LESBIANS is a gift: a tender, mischievous two-hander full of fast-paced dialogue, multi-roling, romantic tension and theatrical invention. 

Part school friendship story, part cowboy melodrama, Billie Esplen’s debut play offers rich material for performers and a brilliantly flexible option for fringe, studio and classroom work.

Coming soon from Salamander Street: A FINE IDEA by Coming soon from Salamander Street: A FINE IDEA by Christine Bacon

An urgent new play about activism, aid, power and the stories we tell ourselves when we’re trying to do good.

Set between the UK and Kenya, A Fine Idea follows a journalist, an activist, an aid worker and a young woman caught at the centre of a campaign that quickly becomes bigger — and more complicated — than anyone expected.

Timely, provocative and full of moral tension, Christine Bacon’s play asks uncomfortable questions about charity, justice, representation and who gets to speak for whom.

A FINE IDEA will be published by Salamander Street in June.

WORMHOLES by Emily Jupp A gripping, emotionally c WORMHOLES by Emily Jupp

A gripping, emotionally charged solo show exploring coercive control, isolation and survival from the inside out.

Wormholes offers actors a compelling showcase role and theatre companies a practical, high-impact contemporary play with real social urgency.

Rich in dramatic tension, psychological complexity and dark humour, it’s also an excellent text for drama students exploring monologue, direct address, unreliable narration and socially engaged theatre.

“One of the most compelling performances in theatre today”
★★★★ Broadway World

Coming soon from Wordville: Theatre Keeps Us Warm Coming soon from Wordville: Theatre Keeps Us Warm by Richard Nelson.

In this third Kyiv diary, the American playwright and director returns to the Theater on Podil during a brutal winter of air raids, blackouts and freezing streets to rehearse 'More Beauty Than Sorrow', a new play about Lesya Ukrainka and the Kosach family.

With a foreword by Larissa Volokhonsky, Theatre Keeps Us Warm is a moving record of making theatre in wartime Ukraine — and of the warmth, courage and human connection found in the rehearsal room.

Available to pre-order from Wordville.net
