Brighton Year-Round 2025

‘The Voyage of the Carcass’ and ‘Bobby & Amy’

A double bill to stretch the imagination.


Birdsong

If you think on peace in these distracted times, love theatre, can absorb it at its most epic, then this will thrill and overwhelm you. A must-see.


Dan O’Brien The Voyage of the Carcass; Emily Jenkins Bobby & Amy

Dan O’Brien’s piece is for dedicated farceurs. By itself outstanding, it’s hoped by several Emily Jenkins’ Bobby & Amy have a postlude of its own, with this team and these two young actors pitched at this moment in their careers.


Helen Edmundson The Heresy of Love

A brave undertaking – typical of Gerry McCrudden and his teams - and a rare opportunity to see this superb, all-too-topical play.


Macbeth

It’s still a phenomenal feat and even if you know Macbeth, it’s still a must-see for how a quintessence can be dusted off.


Murder on the Orient Express

Even if you don’t like Christie it’s worth seeing not just for an exceptional – and exceptionally-acted – production, but for moral questions that now, as in 1934, need answers in the face of dictators.


Perfect Arrangement

There’s never been a more urgent time for this gem of a work: a small hybrid classic that’s never been produced in the UK before. See it now.


Peter James Picture You Dead

Twists are delicious. If you enjoy Peter James, or thrillers with a light touch, don’t hesitate. Solidly recommended.


The Approach

Pitch-perfect, a beautifully distilled world. A gem.


The Beauty Queen of Leenane

This is stark theatre. Some will hate Martin McDonagh, and some already love him. I’d say you must see this, where it all started.


The Incident Room

NVT have blown into 2025 with two superb productions; this is a must-see.


The Last Laugh

This is a must-see. Never outstaying its welcome, you can leave this show after 85 minutes, but stay for that Q&A. I envy everyone the night I won’t be there for it.


The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

Huge accomplishment and spectacle now on your doorstep


The Shark is Broken

Essential theatre for anyone who enjoys new plays with more wit than several comedies. A must-see.
