Following two sellout R&D performances at the Park Theatre, TOO SMALL TO TELL, an “Incredibly brave piece of theatre” is coming to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for a strictly limited run.
In the nineties, Lisa Rose worked as an assistant for Harvey Weinstein. She delivered scripts, made coffee, scheduled appointments, and, like so many other women, had to navigate a dangerous professional environment filled with toxic, gendered power roles.
Nearly thirty years later, in the wake of recent stories about Mohamed al Fayed, Sean Combs, Neil Gaiman, and Justin Baldoni, Lisa reflects on her time at Miramax and asks: Why does this keep happening? What prevents women from coming forward? And when is a story too small to tell?
TOO SMALL TO TELL received rave audience reviews from its run at the Park Theatre:
“A story that should never stop being told”
“Remarkable in its simplicity, both funny and horrific”
“I was massively impressed with [Lisa’s] energy and conviction to the role, which made for a striking performance”

Einstein’s Violin offers a unique insight into the inner life of the twentieth century’s most celebrated scientist.
Written by Paul Wingfield and performed by Harry Meacher (Einstein), Leora Cohen (violin) and Paul Wingfield (piano), this play with music transports the audience to Princeton on Monday 11 April 1955, in the final days of Albert Einstein’s life.
As he reflects on his lifelong love affair with his violin, Einstein shares his voyage of discovery as a European Jew, shaped above all by the horrors of the Holocaust. Through music and memory, he grapples with fundamental questions of the morality of war, the existence of God, and invites us into the parallel universe of the great man’s alternative career as a violinist.
Sir Robert Chiltern is a successful government minister, well-off and with a loving wife. All this is threatened when Mrs Cheveley appears with evidence of a past he would rather hide. Sir Robert has to decide whether to yield to blackmail or risk exposing the origins of his wealth and position.
The themes of this play, which revolve around blackmail and political corruption, are as relevant now as they were when Oscar Wilde wrote the play 130 years ago.
Join us for a night of dizzyingly eclectic music incorporating African, Afro-Cuban, Jazz, improvisation, soul and funk.
Trumpeter Claude Deppa, from Cape Town, South Africa, is well known for playing with the likes of Miriam Makeba, Julian Bahula, Louis Moholo/Viva La Black, Brotherhood of Breath and Art Blakey. He also teaches, leading the brass section of Kinetika Bloco, a band of young musicians from across London playing carnival music.
Clare Hirst is a saxophonist based in London, who has worked with artists such as David Bowie, Grupo Lokito, The Communards, Mica Paris, Maxi Priest, Amazulu and Mervyn Africa. She has worked with Claude for 30 years, before forming their band, Claude Deppa Clare Hirst Band.
The band released their 2nd album “Beyond Bahula” in 2024. It consists of 8 original tracks written by Clare and Claude. Spanning influences from Abdullah Ibrahim and Julian Bahula to Ornette Coleman and beyond, the band creates an inclusive and high energy atmosphere to be enjoyed by all.
Jazzwise: “Bass man Miles Danso made his presence felt similarly in the quintet fronted by Claude Deppa’s trumpet and Clare Hirst’s tenor whose set managed to combine clever timings and cross-rhythms with smoothly grooving tunes.”

Celebrated today for his groundbreaking romantic poetry and acclaimed intellect, in 1812 Percy Shelley was seen as a dangerous radical by the establishment. Expelled from Oxford for his atheism he then scandalously eloped with Harriet Westbrook and the two of them went to Dublin to campaign for Irish independence.
