Theatre Department 2026-27 Season
In our 2026-27 season we are exploring old stories given a new perspective!
We begin with a riff on Macbeth featuring two sisters on an intense, competitive journey. We then find ourselves in one of Shakespeare's most engaging romantic comedies with a sassy and smart heroine. Finally, a contemporary retelling of Ibsen's A Doll's House that looks at three important eras for women's history. We hope that you come along with us to experience each of these stories as they come to life on our stages!

Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything.
Henrik Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new version by Stef Smith reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women's suffrage, the Swinging Sixties and the modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks how far have we really come in the past hundred years?
Suitable for ages 12 and up.
