Get out from behind that sofa and get aboard Toby Hadoke’s TARDIS on a trip through time - charting the rise, fall and rise again of a television legend. A personal, satirical and razor sharp comic odyssey from child to man, through obsession, joy and disappointment. An intimate knowledge of Doctor Who is not required, although a disdain for football hooligans and Hollyoaks would be useful. “I was truly surprised at how much this show affected me. A warm, gentle, and utterly hysterical look into the life of someone for whom sci-fi has truly made the world a better place. *****” - The British Theatre Guide |

Journey’s End is the definitive WW1 play. Set in 1918, the play deals with the physical and emotional horrors of trench warfare. Focusing on Stanhope, a young British officer, the story unfolds over 48 hours as they wait to go over the top. Originally performed in 1928 the play has lost none of its impact. Another brilliantly staged, poetic play from Bath-based theatre company with a justified reputation for superb performances and technical excellence. “... a powerful, faultless treatment from Playing Up... the play's grip never loosens.” - Review of The Crucible, The Bath Chronicle. |

Italy is divided into warring factions, brother against brother. At the end of a brief but bloody conflict that has left a palpable atmosphere of suspicion and latent violence hanging in the air. Stalked by danger, two loving relationships splutter into life – one mature, cynical and guarded, the other youthful and impetuous – the courses of which are perverted and brought to the brink of disaster by the machinations of two ruthless, manipulative brothers. Expect an evening of inventive and challenging theatre, unexpected shocks and laughter, respect for the text and outrageous liberties in equal measure. “As devoted audiences and rave reviews testify there is nothing namby-pamby about Red Shift’s spectacular stagings of literary classics.” - The Sunday Times. |
