In 2025 we staged two productions, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem.

Jez Butterworth's classic play

Jerusalem

Jerusalem (2009) is a play by Jez Butterworth; it opened in the Jerwood Theatre of the Royal Court Theatre in London. An electrifying exploration of British identity and rural life, the play is set at Johnny 'Rooster' Byron's encampment and drug den. Set during the village's Saint George's Day fair and under Rooster's looming eviction by the local council, it follows his crew of misfits and hangers-on through their mischief, scheming and partying.

Macbeth

Shakespeare's Macbeth is set in medieval Scotland. As the thanes return from a battle, the three weird witches prophesy that Macbeth will become King of Scotland. Seduced by power, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth into taking action to gain the throne by killing the king and all others who stand in his way, including his best friend Banquo. The English invade, a final battle ensues and the new King is crowned.
