Single White Female

Sharing a flat can be murder…

Based on the iconic 90’s psychological thriller, the world premiere stage production of Single White Female is a bold and modern reimagining of the best-selling book and hit movie, that coined a phrase and led a generation to fear a stiletto heel!

Starring the multi-talented Kym Marsh (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Abigail’s Party) and actress and presenter Lisa Faulkner (Holby City, Murder In Suburbia, John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen), Single White Female, invites us into a world where trust is fragile, friendships are tested, and secrets lurk behind every closed door.

Full of dark humour and stiletto-sharp suspense, this brand new adaptation by well know author, journalist and broadcaster, Rebecca Reid, updates the original story to the age of social media and all that brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolating world.

Allie is a recently divorced mum, balancing being a single parent with the launch of her tech start up. When she decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet, the delightful Hedy offers her a lifeline. But as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur, and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel.

From the producer of the hit stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Single White Female will captivate, shock, and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience that explores just how far we’ll go to find—and keep—a family together.

The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher

It takes just a moment to make history

Based on the incendiary short story by Hilary Mantel, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher is darkly funny and dangerously tense – a gripping psychological thriller created for Liverpool, the Everyman and our politically violent times. Written by Alexandra Wood and directed by John Young, this daring world premiere is an unmissable event – an audacious game of power, class and conviction that asks the biggest ‘what if?’ of them all.

It’s late summer, 1983. Out in the street, the world is waiting to greet Margaret Thatcher as she emerges from hospital. Just routine surgery – what on earth could go wrong? But here in this room her life is up for deadly debate… and history is holding its breath.

Two people. One window. One gun.

If the time comes to pull the trigger, which side of history will you be on?

Zog

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s classic, feel-good story is brought to roaring, soaring life in this delightful musical for children.

Zog is the keenest dragon in Madam Dragon’s school. He’s also the most accident-prone, flying into trees, and even setting his own wing alight. Thankfully, a kind girl comes along to patch up his scratches and scrapes – but can she help him with his biggest challenge yet, so that he can finally win a golden star?

This charming smash-hit show, from the producers of Stick Man and Zog and the Flying Doctors and featuring joyful songs by Joe Stilgoe and beautiful puppets by Little Angel, is a treat for children and adults alike.

Double Indemnity

Hollywood icon Mischa Barton (The O.C.) makes her UK stage debut in Double Indemnity, the gripping adaptation of one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th Century – the story that inspired Billy Wilder’s film noir classic.

“I loved her like a rabbit loves a rattlesnake”

Los Angeles, 1930’s. Amidst the wreckage of the Great Depression, Walter Huff, a sharp-eyed insurance salesman, has built his career spotting scams. But when he meets the dangerously seductive Phylis Nirdlinger (Barton) to discuss her husband’s life insurance policy, he finds himself drawn into a web of lust, greed, and betrayal. Together they plot the perfect crime: murder the husband, cash in the policy, and disappear into the Californian sunset.

But passion can cloud judgement, and guilt can corrode the most perfect of plans. With each step increasingly risky, and as mistrust simmers, will Walter and Phyllis outsmart the law – or each other?

James M. Cain’s thrillingly amoral masterpiece of murder, deceit, and mystery is adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway and directed by Oscar Toeman.

The Memory of Water

THREE SISTERS AND A FUNERAL…

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. As they sort through clothes, keepsakes and ghosts of the past, the whisky flows, resentments surface, and long-held silences crack open with unexpected laughter.

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.

Crosby Library – Echalaz Room

Bring an item that holds significance for you in a cathartic ritual, smashing the item against the wall to honour all that we do to hold ourselves, and others, together when we have loved and lost. This is an act of holding up the pieces, not brushing them under the carpet, finding beauty in mistakes, embracing what’s broken or lost, and letting it go. 

When you book your place, please let us know what item you’ll be bringing to smash so we can discuss with you! 

Visit our website to book your place and tell us which item you would like to smash.
