The '90s are back. The 1590s, that is.
Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but stuck in the shadow of pompous Renaissance rockstar Will Shakespeare. When a quirky soothsayer foretells an outlandish future for theatre, full of acting, singing and dancing all at the same time, the Bottom Brothers set out to write this strange new creation called A MUSICAL.

Catch the captioned show at Manchester Opera House on 8 Jul.

Jim Hacker is back, older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at Oxford, he instead finds himself cancelled by the college committee. Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby, who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction.

Catch one of the the captioned show happening at either Marlowe Theatre, Everyman Theatre Cheltenham or Theatre Royal Brighton across June and July.

"I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics."

Sir Robert Chiltern has it all: the house, the wife, the style. All seems well until the arrival of the crafty Mrs Cheveley, who has a taste for drama and secrets to spill. Her revelations threaten disgrace, betrayal and public embarrassment, so how far will this perfect gentleman go to prevent his downfall?

Catch the captioned show at Bristol Old Vic on 20 Jun.

2026 marks the centenary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh, one of the best-selling children’s books of all time. Best-selling biographer Gyles Brandreth knew the real Christopher Robin and his new book is both an intimate and revealing biography of A A Milne (to whom there was so much more than Pooh) and a fascinating exploration of fathers and sons, children and their parents and the nature of childhood itself.

Join the live subtitled talk at Chelmsford Cathedral on 19 Jun.
