TEECHERS by John Godber

New Year…same problems! It is the end of term and Godber’s hilarious comedy masterpiece has been reset for our post Covid times. Bristling with teenage swagger and outlandish imagination, Salty, Gail and Hobby use their B.Tech Performance exam to showcase their work.

What follows is a funny, fast moving, hard hitting account of life at Whitewall Academy as they play staff, students and site premises managers, including the new drama teacher Ms Nixon who has helped get them into drama and changed their lives.

But as Salty, Gail and Hobby conclude their performance and leave state education, it appears that Miss Nixon is moving on too…to the local private school.

“Joyous energetic and bitter about educational inequalities” – The Guardian
“Teechers fizzes, with it’s high octane European theatre style” – Belfast Times

Florence Foster Jenkins is about to blow your mind…and possibly your eardrums.

The critically acclaimed West End hit comedy will be screeching around the UK from February 2025. The tour celebrates the show’s 20th anniversary. Glorious! wowed audiences in its original Olivier-nominated West End long-running production starring Maureen Lipman in 2005, before coming to the silver screen, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in the film version of the play that critics simply called GLORIOUS! The show has since been seen by millions of people around the world, translated into 25 languages, and performed in 36 countries.

Glorious! follows Florence’s journey as she prepares for her concerts, builds an unlikely friendship with her accompanist, Cosme, and defies her critics to follow her dreams.

Dubbed ‘the worst singer in the world,’ Glorious! is the true story of American socialite Florence Foster Jenkins, who was known for her flamboyant costumes, enigmatic performances, and decidedly off-key voice.

Starring Wendi Peters (Coronation Street) as Florence Foster Jenkins, this hilarious production played to rave reviews at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre and is the feel-good spring comedy we’ve been waiting for.

Glorious! is written by Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow and the Oscar-winning film, Judy) and directed by Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away, Madagascar: The Musical).

The ropes are ready, the crowd is waiting, and the hangman has a new apprentice. When Claus Kohler is apprenticed to Frantz Schmidt, Nuremberg’s seasoned executioner, the two men are thrown together in a world where duty, morality, and power collide, and every decision leaves a mark. But as the gallows fill and suspicion takes root, their fates become dangerously entwined, until both must decide who they are, and which side of the rope they stand on.

Performed by just two actors, Making a Killing is a razor-sharp, dark comedy about justice, corruption, and the cost of survival in a world disturbingly like our own. Bold, biting, and impossible to ignore, the play takes inspiration from The Journal of Master Franz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573–1617. A remarkable historical record that lays bare the humanity and contradictions of a man who killed for a living.

Theatre Royal Windsor presents the world-premiere of You Will Find Me, By Writers in Residence Catherine O’Reilly and Tim Churchill

In 2021, Joe Evans, finds himself uprooted and relocated to a bleak, unfamiliar flat in an ageing Victorian building. It’s rundown. It feels wrong. But when he discovers a diary, its pages filled with the thoughts, dreams, and fears of a girl who lived there in 1981, everything begins to change. The girl vanished one summer, and no one ever found out what happened to her. As Joe delves deeper into the diary, moments of 1981 bleed into his reality along with time-slipped memories. This isn’t just something he’s reading, it’s something he’s a part of. His own presence in the flat may not be a coincidence. And the diary might just be his warning…or his destiny.

Starring Lucy Benjamin (EastEnders/Detectorists), Ben Nealon (Soldier, Soldier), Sue Elliott-Nicholls (Moblands/Tracey Ullman’s Show), Mark Field (The Capture/Red Eye), lead a standout cast including, Louis Holland (Doubting Thomas/Accolade), Kieran Usher (Fly More Than You Fall), and rising talents Abi-Lily Clarke and Ella Murphy.

Tabs Productions, in association with Theatre Royal Nottingham’s Classic Thriller Season 2026, presents…THE NIGHTMARE ROOM, by John Goodrum

A wickedly gripping contemporary thriller inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery chiller.

Two women. One locked room. One bottle of poison. And a choice that could turn deadly. When Helen comes to, she’s bound, blindfolded, and trapped in a room she cannot escape. Standing over her is Catherine — her best friend, now her captor — who forces her into a terrifying game of Russian roulette to decide which of them will claim the man they both desire.

A tense, twisting psychological showdown that keeps audiences on edge from the first moment to the final reveal.

Maureen Lipman stars as Allegra, in this moving comedy with lively musical sequences and plenty of laughter. It is also a tender and emotional story about family, love and the way even the most beautiful minds can begin to disappear.?

A life in the balance. Twelve men. One verdict.

“They defend me. They attack me. It seems to me the world is consumed with curiosity about me and will remain so for the rest of time. And I will tell you why. They do want the answer. They want the mystery.”

Jenny Seagrove (Judge John Deed) reprises her critically acclaimed performance in Royce Ryton’s THE ANASTASIA FILE, as part of The Theatre Royal Windsor Season on tour.

July 1918. Tsar Nicholas II and his family are brutally executed by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg. Two years later in Berlin, a woman is pulled from a canal after a failed attempt to take her own life and is placed in an institutional facility. As Doctors and police puzzle over her identity, she slowly begins to reveal details about her past that bring about the suspicion that she may in fact be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, the heir to the Romanov fortune.

Inspired by the true story of Anne Manahan, whose thirty-year battle for recognition as the last surviving Romanov was one of the most popular historical mysteries of the twentieth century.

Directed by Roy Marsden, Seagrove is joined by Simon Shepherd (Peak Practice), Ashley D. Gayle (The Shawshank Redemption) and Rosie Thomson (EastEnders).

Memory, fact and fiction intertwine in this thrilling and moving drama that will keep you guessing long after the curtain falls.

WILKO: LOVE AND DEATH AND ROCK ‘N’ ROLL by Jonathan Maitland

In 2012, Wilko Johnson, the iconic rock star and founder of legendary Essex band Dr Feelgood, was told he had inoperable cancer and a year to live. Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully: seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his remarkable life.

Then, a miracle happened…A play with live music comes to Windsor, direct from the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End and before that, from the Southwark Playhouse, following critical and audience acclaim in its initial run at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch in 2024.

“Gloriously raw…superbly played…They do it right” – Daily Mirror
“Intoxicating…Strikingly poignant” – Reviews Hub
“A stonking star turn…Johnson Willis is magnificent” – The Guardian

Susan Calman hasn’t been on tour in ten years, but now she’s back with a brand-new show. A decade older, but not necessarily wiser, Susan has found herself in some improbable situations over the years.

Tall Tales is a show about Cruising, driving tanks, cats and getting older. You might have seen her on the television or heard her on the radio, but the absolute best way to see her is live on stage. You won’t believe how short she really is. Prepare yourself for an evening of barely believable stories, laughter and probably some dancing.

As seen on Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games and (a long time ago) Strictly Come Dancing.

SOLVE THEATRE’S MOST FAMOUS MYSTERY

Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated the world with silent clues, shifting shadows and the best kept secret in theatre history. Now, the record-breaking classic embarks on its 75th Anniversary Tour across the UK and Ireland.

A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.

Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?

Step inside the Theatre Royal Windsor, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.

Blackeyed Theatre and Arcola Theatre present…The Turn of the Screw A world premiere by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm. Based on the seminal ghost story by Henry James. Directed by Nicky Allpress

England. A remote country house. A young governess, hired to care for two seemingly angelic children, begins what appears to be an idyllic new life. Yet there is something about the children that hints at a darker presence. Desperate to protect them from what she believes to be malevolent spirits, she finds herself descending into a world of ambiguity, leading to one far-reaching question; are the ghosts real…or a projection of something far more terrifying?

A masterwork of psychological suspense and the inspiration for Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, The Turn of the Screw is brought to life in this brand-new stage adaptation by Olivier Award-winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, combining powerful performances, illusion and stylish theatricality.

DIRECT FROM THE WEST END

The greatest, most powerful and dangerous figures who shaped English history are brought vividly to life in Robert Bolt’s award-winning play.

Martin Shaw stars as Sir Thomas More – scholar, ambassador, lord chancellor and friend to King Henry VIII. Above all, he is a man of integrity, loved by the common people and his own family.

When Henry demands a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, clearing the way for him to marry Anne Boleyn, the staunchly catholic Thomas is forced to choose between his loyalty and his own conscience, committing an incredible act of defiance for which he eventually pays the ultimate price…

One of the U.K.s best-loved actors on stage and screen, Martin Shaw is known to millions for his television roles in Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently and The Professionals. His recent west end stage appearances include Hobson’s Choice, The Best Man and Twelve Angry Men.

Jonathan Church’s directorial credits include a ten year period as Artistic Director of Chichester Festival Theatre. He last directed Martin Shaw in the acclaimed west end transfer of Hobson’s Choice.
