The children’s classic by E. Nesbit centres on the lives of three children whose comfortable, middle-class existence ends when their father is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit. Bobbie, Peter and Phyliss leave their London home and move (with their mother) to a small cottage in Yorkshire where life is very different. Here, they develop a love for the railway where they have a series of adventures, including preventing a train accident, rescuing a boy injured in a tunnel and coming to the aid of a Russian exile. This adaptation, for all the family, is full of humour, but it is also faithful to the original and is written with great tenderness and insight.

London, 1660. King Charles II has exploded onto the scene with a love of all things loud, extravagant and sexy. And at Drury Lane, a young Nell Gwynn is causing stirrings amongst the theatregoers.

Nell Gwynn charts the rise of an unlikely heroine, from her roots in Coal Yard Alley to her success as Britain’s most celebrated actress, and her hard-won place in the heart of the King. But at a time when women are second-class citizens, can her charm and spirit protect her from the dangers of the Court?

Jessica Swale’s exhilarating take on the heady world of Restoration theatre premiered at Shakespeare’s Globe, London, in September 2015, before transferring to the West End in February 2016, starring Gemma Arterton. It won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2016.
