Richard Layzell is a Creative Ecologist in residence at LUX. He has been a leading innovator in the fields of live art, video and installation since the 1980s. He has been commissioned by most major public galleries and museums across the UK and completed many international artist residencies. As a mentor and facilitator he’s devised an individual approach to sharing knowledge and supporting others. He has pioneered socially engaged practice and worked with many diverse communities nationally and internationally. His interactive installation Tap Ruffle and Shave was experienced by 100,000 people of all ages and abilities on its UK tour. He is the author of Live Art in Schools, Enhanced Performance (ed. Deborah Levy) and Cream Pages (ed. Joshua Sofaer), an honorary associate of the National Review of Live Art.
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN returns to London this summer in a newly revised production starring Katie Ray (The Mousetrap, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music) as Rachel Watson.
Based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and blockbuster DreamWorks film, this new stage adaption by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel tells the story of Rachel Watson, who longs for a different life, her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window everyday, happy and in love, or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
Directed by Joseph Hodges, with set design by Richard Cooper, lighting design by Seb Blaber, casting by Jay Gardner and produced by Gardner Hodges Entertainment.

Blood Gold and Oil
by Jan Woolf
From the Arab revolt of the First World War, a modern hero is constructed: the complex, flawed figure of Lawrence of Arabia. His legacy is as conflicted as his psyche. Brilliant military commander? Agent of British Imperialism? Vulnerable fantasist? Freedom Fighter?
Set in the present day, as an exhibition of the genuine archaeological finds is set up in a museum, the ghost of Lawrence is summoned through the passions of the archaeologist. Yet reality and agency reside in the more grounded figure who thinks about the future rather than the past.
In Blood Gold and Oil ghost and love stories combine, as Lawrence seeks a release from guilt and fame.
Written for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Jan Woolf fuses activism with creativity. She started the play while writer in residence with The Great Arab Revolt archaeological dig in Jordan in 2013 where she ‘dug a play out of the desert.’
Performances: 25-29 April at 19:30, 30 April at 16:00
Running Time: TBC

Night Light is a 1-hour, 3-act, fast-paced, conversational comedy. 3 children in their mid-20s put off growing up until they’re forced to let go of each other’s hands and pass on the night light.
Our Irish duo Robyn and Rian take on the harsh realities of living in central London, Randy attempts to write his way out of his situation, and Laura tries to teach them all there is more to life than nerf gun fights, in-jokes and a mattress that wasn’t built for three.
Directed by Tom Chandler (Juliet & Romeo).
About Giggle Riot Theatre:
Founded in 2021 by Tom Chandler, Tom Inman and Maeve O’Haire in response to a stunted industry and a world in desperate need of a few good laughs. The core formed from alumni of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts – NYC.
“If all the world’s a stage, as Shakespeare himself says- then these are some of the finest young actors to grace it.” – The Reviews Hub
Age Guidance: 16+
Running Time: 70 minutes (no interval)
