Mary StuartTwo queens. One in power. One in prison. It’s all in the execution. Following its critically acclaimed West End run, Robert Icke’s new adaptation of ‘Mary Stuart’ visits The Lowry for one week only.

Schiller’s political tragedy takes us behind the scenes of some of British history’s most crucial days. Playing both Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots, Juliet Stevenson (‘Hamlet’) and Lia Williams (‘Kiri’, ‘Oresteia’) trade the play’s central roles, decided at each performance by the toss of a coin.

Following sell-out runs at the National Theatre and in the West End, James Graham’s critically acclaimed play takes on new importance in the current political climate.

Roll back to 1974. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation. A timely, moving and very funny insight into the workings of British politics.

Music and lyrics by Maury Yeston Book by Peter Stone

In the final hours of 14th April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, collided with an iceberg and ‘the unsinkable ship’ slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.

‘Titanic The Musical’ is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers. The original Broadway production of ‘Titanic The Musical’ won five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

When a sailor named Gideon Fletcher (Richard Fleeshman) returns home after 17 years at sea, tensions between past and future flare in both his family and his town. The local shipyard is closing and no one knows what will come next, only that a half-built ship towers over the terraces.

With the engine fired and pistons in motion, picket lines are drawn as foreman Jackie (Joe McGann) and his wife Peggy (Charlie Hardwick) fight to hold their community together in the face of the gathering storm.

A whirlwind romance with a handsome and charming stranger sweeps Cecily Harrington off her feet and she recklessly abandons her old life to settle in the country. However, her new-found love is not all that he seems…

Electric with suspense and with a shocking twist, this rarely-seen thriller by the UK’s greatest crime writer is rediscovered in a brand new production by Lucy Bailey (‘Gaslight’, ‘Dial M for Murder’) and designed by Mike Britton.

Music & Lyrics in association with Churchill Theatre Bromleypresent

Join the eccentric Doctor, his human companions and his exotic menagerie of animal friends on an extraordinary adventure to find the secret of life and making the world a happier place. With help from the Pushmi-Pullyu and his trusty sidekick Polynesia the parrot, Doctor Dolittle teaches us not only to talk to the animals but to listen to them as well! Based on the popular 1967 film with Rex Harrison, this stage version from the producers of ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’, promises stunning visual puppetry and fun for all the family.
