Until March 18: Truth's a Dog Must To Kennel

The Fool leaves King Lear before the blinding. Before the ice-creams in the interval. In this extraordinary new solo work, Tim Crouch draws on ideas of virtual reality to send the character back to the wreckage of the world they left.

Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel switches between scathing stand-up and an audacious act of collective imagining. It's a celebration of live performance and a skewering of the state we're in now.

From March 15 (until, May 28): Eugenius!

The Turbine Theatre is proud to present Eugenius! - a thrilling, high-energy 80s-inspired British musical with a superhero-sized heart and an uplifting score.

Boasting a pulsating soundtrack, streamed by millions and heard across 125 countries, Eugenius! is a hilarious love letter to the iconic movies, comic books and nostalgia of the 80's. A champion of the underdog, a place where anyone can become the hero. With our legion of Eugenie's we're set to prove that together we are mighty.
