The Good Person of Szechwan Teaser Trailer | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
In the hustle and bustle of a modern-day metropolis, it’s a dog-eat-dog world and Shen Te is doing all she can to get by.

Forced to question the cost of her own survival, she resorts to scheming and deceit to flourish in this capitalist world. In its 80th anniversary, Brecht’s play is brought up to date in a new version by Nina Segal (In The Night Time (Before The Sun Rises)), directed by Anthony Lau (Sheffield Theatres’ Anna Karenina). - The Good Person of Szechwan is playing at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre 15 Apr - 13 May 2023.

The Sun Shines for Everyone trailer - Little Lyric
The Sun Shines for Everyone, a production for ages 4 - 11, playing at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre 13 May 2023. Book tickets here: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/the-sun-shines-for-everyone/ A Black Books Matter UK production. On planet Zame, home to the Zamzies race, everyone's the same. Everyone looks the same, feels the same, and does the same. However, once a year the sun shines on one Zamzie, and they get to do whatever they like. When the sun shines on M.A.T, (Migrant Alien Traveller/A puppet) they decide to jump in their spaceship and explore the cosmos, but they crash land on earth. Here they meet Buddy, a young boy who is in trouble at school for name calling. M.A.T is filled with joy (the only emotion they know), to meet someone who looks so different, but Buddy is initially scared. Eventually, they become friends and Buddy agrees to home M.A.T until they can fix the spaceship and go back to Zame, but whilst they’re here, Buddy teaches M.A.T all about life on earth, and M.A.T has a few lessons to teach Buddy too. Through the positive emotion of joy, The Sun Shines For Everyone uses puppetry and song to encourage children to have pride in their own heritage, as well as celebrate differences. - We are the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist Trailer
An Anarchist has fallen to his death from a police station window. But did he jump or was he thrown? As the police prepare for an inquiry into the incident, an unhinged showman known only as the Maniac is arrested and brought into the station. Seizing the opportunity to put on a show, he leads the police in an absurd recreation of their version of events, exposing the cover-ups, corruption and profound idiocy of an institution in free-fall. A razor-sharp satire, Tom Basden’s wickedly hilarious adaptation relocates Dario Fo’s classic farce to contemporary London and features a show-stopping performance from Daniel Rigby, as the Maniac. Playing 13 Mar - 08 Apr at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre Tickets from £10 lyric.co.uk/shows/accidental-death-of-an-anarchist/ A Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and Sheffield Theatres co-production in association with Playful Productions.

Behind the Scenes of The Stories We Tell | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
Take a look behind the scenes of The Stories We Tell, a theatre cultural exchange residency that brought together a collective of young black queer women and genderqueer people from the UK, Kenya and South Africa. Find out more: https://lyric.co.uk/young-lyric/emerging-talent/the-stories-we-tell/ Created in partnership with Sibikwa Arts Centre and the National Youth Theatre of Kenya, the project brought together six participants – two from each country - culminating in two weeks of devising and live performance in South Africa in August 2022. Lead by British-South African Director Ameera Conrad, South African Writer and Director Tankiso Mambola, the collective of performers and creatives came together to ask the questions “Why do we love who we love and how does it change us?”. The final performance interrogated and celebrated African and British queer experiences, exploring gender, sexuality, ethnicity and nationality. Captured by Kenyan filmmaker Sheila Gakii Kimathi, the devising process and final sharing were edited into this short film. The Stories We Tell was a partnership between the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre of the UK, Sibikwa Arts Centre of South Africa and the National Youth Theatre of Kenya. It was kindly supported by the British Council and The Daneford Trust. - We are the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. We produce bold and relevant world-class theatre.
