Winter, 1996. The Spice Girls are riding high in the charts, football has failed to come home, and Dolly the Sheep's been cloned. Meanwhile, on the eve of their mum’s funeral, Mary, Teresa and Catherine return to their Northern childhood home for the first time in years.

Hilarious yet deeply moving, this is a major 30th anniversary revival of Shelagh Stephenson’s The Memory of Water, which won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy. A play about families, grief, and the unreliable narratives we inherit. A powerful exploration of how we remember and how much we choose to forget. Booking is through the Octagon.

After his 2023/24 sell-out smash tour Gobsmacked, this marvellous Manc is back with his best show yet. A TV favourite, and now an aspiring doctor’s wife, Josh Jones is now knee deep into his 30's and nothing thrills him more than a Greggs Sausage Roll and an M&S food shop.

Josh is hitting the road with a show packed full of laughs and he's keeping it light - nothing super political, nothing controversial and it’s definitely not going to change your life, but you can be sure of a fab night out filled to the brim with jokes about history, cats, his love of wrestling and much more. Please come, he'd really like to buy a new sofa. Star of Would I Lie To You?

The year is 1974 and a homeless Miss Mary Shepherd moves her broken down van into Alan Bennett's garden in north London on his invitation. What was intended to be a temporary arrangement ends up lasting 15 years and Bennett, a somewhat reluctant landlord, begins to piece together the fascinating aspects of her life. A deeply religious woman, eccentric and stubborn in equal measure, she has, it seems, quite a tale to tell. Alan Bennett’s uniquely observant story-telling style gives an account of those years and was later adapted for a 2015 film of the same name.

Hopes, hurdles and halfpipes. Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi-wearing step-sisters in all of Bradford – and nothing is going to stop them from winning the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition. With their eyes on the prize and their boards under their feet, they are unstoppable. That is, until they overhear whispers in the kitchen… their parents might be splitting up. Suddenly, everything is at risk – their friendship, their family, and their dream. Only the greatest super-plan ever concocted can keep them together and on track for victory. Sisters 360 is a funny, heartfelt and high-energy new play written by Asif Khan, inspired by the real-life “Hijabi Sisters” from Hull – three skateboard-loving siblings who have challenged stereotypes and inspired countless others, following in the footsteps of their hero, Olympic medallist Sky Brown. With skateboarding tricks, sibling banter and a whole lot of heart, this uplifting story explores the power of family, friendship and resilience in the face of change. At its core, Sisters 360 is about courage, creativity and the determination to hold on to what matters most. It’s a story about finding strength in teamwork, navigating life’s challenges, and daring to dream big even when the ground beneath you feels unsteady. The play also gently opens up conversations about family life, separation and how children discover their own voice when faced with change. Perfect for ages 8–12 (and anyone who remembers being that age), Sisters 360 is boisterous, joyful and inspiring – a celebration of skateboards, sisterhood and standing proud.
