Before Nell and After Agincourt @ Upstairs At The Gatehouse
May 30 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Following a successful showcase at Theatre at The Tabard in 2024, The Crooked Billets brings Peter Mottley’s double bill of forgotten gems to Upstairs at The Gatehouse for a special two week run. Written in the 1980s, these thrilling one-handers use Shakespeare’s Henry V as a framework to explore themes of coming-of-age, class, PTSD, and the real human cost of war.

Before Nell is told through the eyes of a boy actor preparing to take the stage as Nell Quickly AKA Madame Pistol in the first ever production of Henry V. It presents a heart-breaking, darkly comic and meticulously researched insight into the hardships and social dynamics of the time.

After Agincourt is a visceral and brutal recounting of the English invasion of France in 1415. Set in The Boar’s Head Tavern seven years later, a drunk and bitter Pistol details the campaign of bloody battles in vivid modern vernacular at the same time tearing down the heroic picture of King Henry V we’re so familiar with.

The Rise And Fall Of Margaret Thatcher @ Upstairs At The Gatehouse
Jun 10 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm

How Margaret Thatcher first won and then lost the Conservative leadership.

The play concentrates on the personalities, rivalries and machinations involved in the leadership battles and does not set out to take a pro- or anti-Thatcher stance.

Mrs Thatcher blamed her loss of office on the deceitful treachery of Geoffrey Howe, the irresponsible ambition of Michael Heseltine, tawdry Cabinet disloyalty and contemptible backbench weakness. But was that the whole story?

Sarab by The Palestinian Circus School @ Jacksons Lane

SARAB “A mirage” is a 55-minute tragic theatre circus that was produced in 2017 to highlight the difficulties faced by refugees around the world. And the repetition of it today for millions of people.

“We are forced,
We had no other option.
Dragged to an uncertain end,
On a road full of obstacles and checkpoints that we could barely pass.
Our destiny unknown.
During the long and rough journey,
We kept dreaming of the moment we would arrive,
Continuing our path towards the unknown.
Finally,
We arrive.
Have we reached our goal?
After floating earth and oceans,
We discover the unexpected.
It really was nothing, but a mirage.”

★★★★★

“Masterful physical comedy.”

Ed Spotlight

 

★★★★★ “Funny, emotional, and intelligent.”

Arts Awards Voice

 

From the creators of Boris & Sergey comes a one-hour, one-man show brimming with puppetry, physical comedy, and mime. Hilarious, absurd, and often magical, this captivating performance juxtaposes themes of loneliness and belonging with pure joy and exhilaration. With pathos, dark humour, and Victorian aesthetics, it creates a wonderfully mysterious backdrop for a poetic and surreal journey – all with a generous sprinkle of silliness.

“The perfect musical comedy act – it should not be missed.”

Broadway Baby

 

Taylor Swift had Eras. Otto & Astrid go through Stages.

 

Fresh from Glastonbury Festival, Berlin’s Prince and Princess of Art Rock and Europop—Otto & Astrid of Die Roten Punkte—blast through a blisteringly hilarious set of songs from (almost) all of their albums.

 

The utterly dysfunctional siblings are a lipstick-smeared sonic collision of The B-52s, The Pixies, Kraftwerk, and early Ramones.

 

This multi-award-winning duo has taken the stage everywhere from Soho Theatre in London to Joe’s Pub in New York and The Roxy in Los Angeles.

 

One of the most irreverently side-splitting gigs you’ll ever see, packed with ridiculously infectious songs.

“A suffocating yet hopeful piece of must-see physical theatre”
A Youngish Perspective 

 

Symbolically based on true events, The Weight of Shadow explores mental health deterioration through dance, mime, and aerial acrobatics. Inspired by Sasha’s partner, Ciana Fitzgerald, it reflects the enigmatic language of the psyche.

 

Immersing audiences in a psychiatric patient’s 24-hour struggle to grasp reality, the show offers a poignant exploration of resilience, inner turmoil, and the complexities of mental illness.

Naughty Cabaret has wowed audiences in Australia, Edinburgh, London, and Norway, with past guest performers including Lara Ricote, Elf Lyons, Siblings, Frankie Thompson, Paulina Lenoir, Hannah Camilleri, Ella The Great, Lucy Hopkins, and Dairy King.
