Feeling misanthropic? You’re in good company. 😉

Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) stars as a brilliant novelist with no patience for fake smiles, empty praise or society’s carefully constructed lies.

Sharp, darkly funny and painfully relatable, The Misanthrope comes to our big screen with National Theatre Live on Wed 7 Oct.

Watch the trailer and book your tickets!🎭

Have you ever laughed at a joke and immediately wondered how somebody’s brain works?🤔

Milton Jones has built an entire career on that feeling.

The master of the surreal one-liner arrives in Didcot this Friday with an extended headline set packed with brilliantly ridiculous observations, unexpected twists and the kind of jokes that leave you laughing long after you’ve worked out how they got there.

One thing’s for certain: nobody thinks quite like Milton Jones...

On his 69th birthday, Krapp sits alone with an old tape recorder and listens back to recordings he made throughout his life. As memories of love, ambition, hopes and regrets come flooding back, he is forced to confront the person he once was and the choices that shaped him.

Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape is a moving and darkly funny reflection on time, memory and the moments that define us. A beautifully crafted one-man play, it invites us to look back on our own lives and ask: what would we say to our younger selves?

Whether you’re a lifelong theatre lover or discovering Beckett for the first time, this is a rare chance to experience one of the great works of modern drama live on stage 🎭

Some people have hobbies. Ed Patrick has a whole other career.

He’s an NHS anaesthetist. He’s also a comedian. And somehow, he’s found the time to turn all of that into a very funny stand-up show.

Ed Patrick: Numb and Number is coming to us on Fri 19 Feb, bringing sharp observations, ridiculous stories and plenty of laughs.

As seen on Have I Got News For You, Channel 4 and heard on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4. Basically, a night out that’s cheaper than therapy!
