What's On Highlights

Eddie Izzard: Hamlet
From:05-10-2025
To:05-10-2025
+ More Info +

Following the success of Eddie Izzard's triple-extended performances of Hamlet in New York, Chicago, and London, this groundbreaking production promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Adapted by Mark Izzard and directed by Selina Cadell, Eddie’s performance is set to captivate audiences once again, with a raw and powerful take on Shakespeare's Hamlet. Just like her iconic Hamlet, Eddie will take the stage alone, allowing Shakespeare’s words and the power of storytelling to shine - pure, unfiltered, and electric.

Eddie’s solo performances have earned critical acclaim, including nominations for the Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award and the Outer Critics Circle Outstanding Solo Performance Award in New York.

Breaking the Code
From:07-10-2025
To:11-10-2025
+ More Info +

By Hugh Whitemore
Based on the book Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges
Directed by Jesse Jones

“It’s not breaking a code that matters, it’s where you go from there.”

Mastermind. Code breaker. Maverick. Arguably one of the most important and inquisitive minds of the 20th century. Alan Turing is famed for cracking the Enigma code at Bletchley Park, effectively securing victory for the Allied forces in World War Two.

From triumph to tragedy, get to know a human being who loved, lost and never stopped asking questions in a quest for truth and understanding in this new production of Hugh Whitemore’s Breaking the Code.

For the first time, taking into consideration his recent Royal pardon and the development of Turing’s law, the original play will feature new material that speaks to Turing’s lasting legacy on modern Britain.

Emma
From:20-10-2025
To:25-10-2025
+ More Info +

Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions

By Jane Austen, Adapted by Ryan Craig

“I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.”

This autumn, we celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary with a sparkling new stage adaptation of Emma. This witty and beloved comedy of manners is produced by the Theatre Royal Bath - the city synonymous with so many of Austen’s stories.

Headstrong and high-spirited, Emma Woodhouse - handsome, clever, and rich - has sworn never to marry. Instead, she delights in meddling in the romantic lives of those around her. But as her matchmaking schemes unfold, could she find herself caught in love’s wake?

Filled with Austen’s unforgettable characters - Mr. Knightley, Jane Fairfax, Harriet Smith, and the delightfully pretentious Augusta Elton. This special 250th anniversary production is adapted by Ryan Craig, whose acclaimed work includes plays for the National Theatre, Hampstead Theatre, and the bestselling stage adaptation of 1984.

A brand-new show about extinct, gigantic, charismatic megafauna from three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and very good comedian Josie Long.

In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like the apocalypse is everywhere. But did you know that 11,000 years ago, there were armadillos the size of cars? Really big. And they were vegetarian, so don’t even worry about them. Also, my daughter has a hamster.

Jen Brister: Reactive
From:13-11-2025
To:13-11-2025
+ More Info +

Jen Brister is Reactive - or so she's been told. Apparently you don't have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest…

Jen is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian and writer, as seen on BBC's Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, QI and Mock The Week. Following a sold out 2022 tour, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show.

Eliza Carthy & Jon Boden's Wassail
From:14-11-2025
To:14-11-2025
+ More Info +

Long before the tradition of carolling, festive revellers would go house-to-house, exchanging songs for money, food and ale. Coming from the old English waes hael, ‘wassail’ is a toast wishing good.

Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden combine their considerable talents and reputations within the UK folk scene, for a nationwide wassail, wishing good health to all across key venues.

Presenting seasonal material, among a stage of illuminated Christmas trees, they will take audiences back to some of the oldest songs in the English canon, spreading good cheer and lighting up the darkest days of the year.

Dick Whittington
From:21-11-2025
To:04-01-2026

An Oxford Playhouse production

Written and Directed by Toby Hulse

All aboard for London Town – the panto adventure of the year awaits!

Join us for the tradition that is an Oxford Playhouse pantomime. There’s a charming adventure on the way with Dick Whittington, full of laughter, mischief, magic and plenty of panto sparkle. Brought to you by the brilliant team who created Sleeping Beauty and Jack & The Beanstalk.

Proper crafty Liam Rattagher and his dodgy brother Noel are conjuring up a masterplan to take over the world. They want things to be just how they like them…. bland! Can our hero Dick Whittington get rid of all the dull and make Britannia cool again? Maybe, but they’ll need a bit of the help from a magical cat and a gang of unlikely sidekicks.

Board the bus to London Town for this riotous and uplifting tale of friendship, music, 90s cool and Britpop.

It’s the purrrrfect festive treat!

WINNER – Special Recognition Award for Innovation (National Panto Awards 2025)

Age: 5 to 105!
Duration: 120 minutes
