Until April 1: Stray Dogs

It's been a harsh winter, the people of the town starve while the rich hoard gold and grain. To keep the peace, the powers that be have done what they always do: make ample use of Jacob. He cures the sick, fixes broken bones, sews up wounds. He also tortures those accused of stealing food and chops off their heads.

But Jacob thinks he can keep the peace better if he stops taking heads. All he needs now is to get the town's blessing to heal full time, making his community a better, more humane place. But he's not the only one with plans: his wife, Hilde, and Ana, one of the town's elite, are pushing for more radical solutions that risk tipping the balance in dangerously uncertain ways.

Stray Dogs by Theo Chester is a visceral, epic play that asks how we can create a better future when things are so very awful.

Until May 28: Eugenius

The Turbine Theatre is proud to be presenting a reworked version of the iconic cult musical.

Eugenius! is a thrilling, high-energy 80s-inspired British musical with a superhero-sized heart and an uplifting score. Eugenius! is a show where geeks rule, dreams do come true, and everyone finds the superhero inside themselves. 

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.
