This season's productions demonstrate the three strands of Finborough's artistic policy with an eclectic mix of new writing, genuine rediscoveries and music theatre. Finborough is set to welcome Olivier Award winning actress Celia Imrie to the Finborough Theatre who will star in Drama at Inish.

Our Autumn Season opens on 30 August with the London premiere of the completed Lullabies of Broadmoor quartet, following our hugely successful production of two of the plays in 2004. The four plays of Steve Hennessy's Lullabies of Broadmoor - A Broadmoor Quartet - Venus at Broadmoor, The Demon Box, The Murder Club and Wilderness - play from 30 August to 1 October 2011 in two double bills in repertoire including a chance on seven days to see all four plays in one day.

Music theatre is represented by the return of our acclaimed ‘Celebrating British Music Theatre' series with Ivor Novello's 'musical romance', Perchance to Dream, in its first London production in 25 years, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the death of Ivor Novello, performing on Sundays and Mondays, 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 September 2011.

October sees two rediscovered plays by classic Irish authors - St John Ervine and Lennox Robinson. The first London production for 90 years of St John Ervine's searing Belfast tragedy Mixed Marriage, directed by Sam Yates, plays from 4 October to 29 October 2011. On Sundays and Mondays, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 and 24 October 2011, will be the first London production in 60 years of Drama at Inish, the classic 1933 comedy by Lennox Robinson (who was also the first director of the original 1911 Abbey Theatre production of Mixed Marriage). Directed by Fidelis Morgan, Drama at Inish will star Olivier Award winner Celia Imrie.
