Following the smash hit success of his Silver Jubilee show (“the best thing he’s done and that’s saying something” ????? Telegraph) Luke Wright returns with a new set poems that get to grips with the idea of JOY. Is it possible, as a 42-year-old, to feel pure unbridled happiness, and what does it look like? The French novelist Henry de Montherlant said that “happiness writes white” but Wright’s not exactly starting with a blank page. With a mix of the comic and the wistful, JOY takes in consumerism, boozing, cancer scares, abseiling vicars, and the joy of language itself. We might have to go down to come up, but we’ll get there in the end. Come let a little joy into your life with a raconteur and wordsmith at the top of his game. Supported by Colchester Arts Centre.

11 years of weekly, behind-closed-doors meetings, where the destiny of a nation is shaped. Moira Buffini’s clever and charming political comedy unlocks the palace door, imagining the untold conversations of two of history’s most powerful women, Margaret Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth II. Ronald Reagan, Denis Thatcher and an ensemble of familiar faces add to the biting satire and sharp humour as the gloves come off and personalities clash. 25 years later, with both women now gone, their shadows still loom large, as this Theatre Nation Partnerships production, produced by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, explores the legacy of this divisive premiership, leaving audiences to question what they truly know about those who decide our nation’s destiny.
