Macbeth – a classically dark and tragic tale of corruption, murder and betrayal. This time however, it’s different. Tap the Table Productions will present Shakespeare’s quintessential tragedy as a rip-roaring comedy.
During Macbeth Gone Mental prepare yourself for anything from physical to black comedy mixed in with tear-jerkingly poignant moments as Tap the Table take their unapologetic and ridiculous performance style and use it to turn Macbeth on its head.
LOVE MIDLANDS THEATRE – “one of the Bard’s most well-known plays as something completely different.”
A SMALL MIND AT THE THEATRE – “four wonderfully skilled and enthusiastic performers.”

New musical Confessions of a Superhero centres around a young girl named Jenny-lee and her quest to discover her true identity in a world where the extraordinary is just… ordinary. Haunted by her own untameable powers, she seeks out a group dedicated to helping Superheroes cope with the daily struggles and pressures that come with the job, in the hope that they will provide her with some much needed guidance. However, it quickly becomes clear that the heroes Jenny once looked up to aren’t as super as she once thought, a realisation made even more worrying by the resurgence of a powerful super villain. Will Jenny be able to find the path destiny has always intended? Or will this lost soul, as so many do, fly too close to the sun?

Within an hour of the search, trowel hit bone. Then the thunder rolled in. The archaeologists had disturbed something that should not have been.
Poor, poor Richard. Dug up, he now must endlessly repeat the events that led to his inevitably gruesome death.
Both helmets and hard hats combine: Join us for a fusion of modern and 15th century slander.

Thomas Edison’s last words were “It’s very beautiful over there”.
In this new piece of writing, the audience is presented with a powerful story of a young adult’s effort to cope with the unexpected death of a close friend.
A one-woman show about understanding death and grief, the importance of telling stories, and the ways in which we live on through the legacy we leave behind in our names and our memories. And how to fold origami swans.
Stephanie Greenwood is a British-South African writer and actress living in London who has recently completed the first UK tour of Jonathan Lewis’ play Soldier On.

After moving from Germany to London over ten years ago to live and work in a more diverse community, renowned sword swallower, circus artist and dazzling burlesque artist Livia Kojo Alour learned that life-long feelings of self-hatred and otherness are part internalised racism and part survival techniques. With a successful career under her stage name MisSa, but tiring of playing someone else full-time, Black Sheep has been long in the making, serving as a candid autobiographical work and a euphoric reclamation of Livia’s identity and ongoing fortitude.
Black Sheep is a story about a Black woman finding love and a testament of personal strength, developed through transcending the white gaze, overcoming institutional racism and leaning into radical vulnerability. Securing her place as a pivotal UK Queer Black voice while telling her story via a heady mix of physical theatre, spoken word, song and sword swallowing, Black Sheep is timely, unsettling and deeply personal.
Suitable for ages 14+
