Book tickets: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/a-square-world/ A Square World is a story of friends who enjoy the same routine day after day, each day is the same until an unexpected change is forced upon just one of them. This accidental happening throws everyone into disarray, the friends are suddenly divided into those who can and the one who can’t. The friends realise their daily routine is no longer as enjoyable as it was and together decide they need to redefine the rules of the square world in which they live. By injecting a little fun and chaos they soon discover their lives won’t be square ever again! This endearing and funny performance looks at the unfairness of being left out in a world designed for everyone else but yourself. From the mind of Daryl Beeton comes A Square World, an honest, touching and bizarrely quirky piece of theatre for young audiences. This non-verbal story, set to an original commissioned soundtrack, uses clean-cut simple design, object manipulation and elements of surprise to create an ever evolving and imaginative world.

Iphigenia in Splott Trailer
Stumbling down the street drunk at 11.30am Effie is the kind of girl you avoid making eye contact with. You think you know her, but maybe you don’t know half of it. Effie’s life is a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day – till one night gives her the chance to be something more. Gary Owen’s critically acclaimed and powerful monodrama inspired by the Greek myth opens at the Lyric this September after a smash-hit run at the Sherman Theatre in Wales and later the National Theatre. Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan directs Sophie Melville, who reprises her role as ‘Effie’ after winning The Stage Award for Acting Excellence and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best Actress. 26 Sep - 22 Oct | https://lyric.co.uk/shows/iphigenia-in-splott-2/ Video by Black Apron Entertainment Music by Sam Jones

Meet the Director of Othello | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
Meet Scott Graham, Artistic Director of Frantic Assembly and director of Othello, playing at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from 19 Jan - 11 Feb 2023. Book tickets: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/othello/ A Frantic Assembly production, co-produced with Curve. Frantic Assembly presents its award-winning and electrifying take on Shakespeare’s tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder. Othello’s passionate affair with Desdemona becomes the catalyst for jealousy, betrayal, revenge and the darkest intents.

This is a world of broken glass and broken promises, of poisonous manipulation and explosive violence. As relevant today as it ever was, Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously exploited.
