A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.

A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce set in 1960s Brighton, England. The Tony Award winning ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS follows Francis Henshall, a down-on-his-luck man who finds himself working for two bosses at the same time – without either of them knowing. As he scrambles to keep up the act, comic chaos, confusion, and hilarious misunderstandings unfold. Packed with physical comedy, pratfalls, and quick wit, this modern take based on Goldoni’s masterpiece Servant of Two Masters is a wildly fun night at the theatre.

THE FATHER (Le Père) is the winner of the 2014 Molière Award for Best Play. The Molières are considered France’s highest theatrical honour. THE FATHER premiered on Broadway in 2016 with Frank Langella winning the TONY AWARD for BEST ACTOR.

The Father is a darkly humorous, deeply poignant and unsentimental play, presenting a sobering and emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia, with a dramatic illustration of the physical losses which occur along with the mental ones.

Florian Zeller, the author of this intriguing and compelling black comedy, has been hailed as “one of the hottest literary talents in France” (Independent).

“THE FATHER is one of those plays that makes your brain hum with the potential of theatre” – The Independent

“Ferocious, charming, and playful” – The Guardian

“...an unqualified triumph” – The Daily Telegraph

"Shrewdly told with humor and empathy that treats audiences to a heart-wrenching glimpse into despair" — MOTIF Magazine

“…hugely rewarding… [THE FATHER] constantly makes you question the truth and the nature of reality…an astonishingly unguarded play about the cruelties of love and the limits of patience, and the way child-parent relationships become inverted as old age creeps up and mugs us.” —The Guardian (UK).

Based on the film by John Carney
Musical by Enda Walsh. Composers: Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová

2012 Tony Award Winner for BEST MUSICAL - Total of 8 Tony awards of 11 Tony nominations.

The touching, lyrical musical tells the story of two down-on-their-luck musicians, an angst-ridden Dublin street singer/songwriter who works as a vacuum repairman, and a Czech immigrant who sells flowers in order to support herself and her family. Songs erupt naturally from the action, helped by the fact that the cast all play a variety of instruments including fiddle, guitar, drums, accordion and mandolin. The actor-musicians also effortlessly become characters in the story. And you'll fall in love with the Oscar winning music.

Prior to the start of the show, the audience will be treated to a pub-like setting to entice the audience to join in the experience.

With hauntingly memorable music, convincing romantic chemistry, and dozens of laugh-out-loud moments, ONCE truly is a delight.
