SUMMARY:THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME AUDITION
DESCRIPTION:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time\n Read Through: Sunday 19th April | 10:00am – 12:30pm | Talisman Foyer \n Audition Date: Saturday 2nd May 2026 \n Time: 09:30 \n Venue: Talisman Theatre \n Playing Dates: 28th Sept – 3rd Oct 2026 \n  \nDirector: Sharon Sully\nProduction Manager: Sam Harris\nMovement Director: Alasdair Stewart \n  \nPlay Synopsis \nBased on the bestselling 2003 novel by Mark Haddon\, this inventive play follows Christopher Boone\, a fifteen-year-old with an extraordinary gift for mathematics and a unique way of seeing the world. When he discovers a neighbour’s dog dead\, Christopher sets out to solve the mystery – uncovering secrets about his family along the way. \nHaddon’s novel\, inspired by his own interest in neurodiversity\, blends heart\, humour\, and suspense\, exploring how we all navigate relationships\, truth\, and trust.

Physicality\, energy\, and the ability to embrace humour and heart are essential.

SUMMARY:A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
DESCRIPTION:A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE\n18th – 23rd May 2026\nPassion. Desire. Madness. Survival.\nTraditional values clash with modern realities in this timeless masterpiece. \nConsidered Tennessee Williams’s finest work\, A Streetcar Named Desire follows Blanche Dubois\, a fading Southern belle who is staying with her sister\, Stella\, in boisterous New Orleans. When she meets Stanley\, Stella’s overtly masculine and working-class husband\, tensions between the pair rapidly and violently come to a head in the claustrophobia of their cramped living quarters. \nJoin us for this powerful tale of desire and destruction as Blanche realises that the present holds no hope and the past is inescapable. \nAge recommendation: 14 + or at parental discretion. Themes of sexual and domestic violence. \nThis amateur production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

The Manninghams appear to be the perfect couple — at least from the outside. But behind the elegant façade of their London home\, something far more sinister is at play. \nBella begins to doubt her sanity; Jack vanishes on mysterious errands; objects disappear\, and strange footsteps echo from the attic. Is Bella truly losing her mind? Why does the light keep flickering? And what prompts the sudden arrival of a detective at their door? Gaslight is a gripping story of psychological control\, deception and resilience — a chilling glimpse into the life of a woman fighting to reclaim her reality. \nRediscover Patrick Hamilton’s classic thriller in a new light — the play that gave us the term “gaslighting” — and experience a timeless drama that feels more unsettlingly relevant than ever. Step into the shadows and see it for yourself. \nAge recommendation: 12+ or at parental discretion. Trigger warnings: manipulation\, abusive relationships and themes of mental illness. \nThis amateur production of ‘Gaslight®’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
