Three British writers visit Central Asia, in search of some local colour, local food, local customs. Instead of attending a stuffy party at the British embassy, they attend an execution. The next morning the consular canapés sit uneaten, whilst three hungover civil-servants deal with the onset of a crisis; three missing British citizens. JMK Director Award Winner Jamie Harper directs Adam Brace's uncompromising and hilarious play about savagery and how we need it.

Larry is a good husband and father, and a conscientious professor at a quiet Midwestern university. He always tries to do the fair and just thing in the face of life's temptations and trials. Then one day, everything starts to go wrong, his wife leaves him for reasons she can't explain, and her pompous new lover muscles in on the family and their home, convincing the already cash-strapped Larry to move into a motel. His career is put in jeopardy by a series of anonymous letters falsely accusing him of unspecified misdemeanours, and his unemployable brother is becoming more and more of a burden.

Celebrate the heyday of stage and movie musicals - the fabulous forties and post-war fifties. Three West End singers and their musical director take on a journey to a time when Fred danced with Ginger, when Bob and Bing took to the road, Jack Buchanan is the talk of the town and Doris Day was the girl next door. These songs take you on a sentimental journey down memory lane to a gentler time when Gershwin, Kern, Berlin and Porter topped the charts and melody is King.
