Blood Wedding
Summer 2026
From the play by Federico García Lorca
Adapted and directed by Ed Bancroft
With a knife.
With a little knife.
On a fateful day,
Between two and three,
Two men killed each other for love.
A man driven to leave his wife and son by a passion that burns deep.
A woman driven to leave her husband on their wedding day.
In the heat of a Spanish summer, their fateful decision collides with a simmering family feud … the consequences of which are both brutal and deadly. This new interpretation explores Lorca’s world, foreshadowing the violence that would soon tear his beloved country apart and lead to his own tragic end.
The Turning at Bly Manor
Autumn 2026
Based on the works of Henry James
Adapted by Sam Islam
Directed by Monica Gallo and Erin Whyte
Welcome to Bly Manor, the beautiful home of dead billionaire, Sir Edmund Orme. Five people, mysteriously challenged to stay within its walls, have vanished without a trace. A former employee of Orme’s must now uncover their fate. Why did they disappear? And who is really telling the truth?
Adapted from the ghost stories of Henry James (The Turn of the Screw) and inspired by the Netflix miniseries created by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Bly Manor), this play explores the liminal space between the supernatural and the depths of the human psyche. It winds the essentials of psychological horror around one pervasive emotion — unease.
