Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch has announced its next ambitious programme of produced work.

Playwright Lisa Carroll explores how the contemporary search for intimacy is marred by millennial malaise and trauma cycles in a witty dramedy that’s unexplainably ideologically ambiguous.

Metal Rabbit productions has announced the cast for the world premiere of 'The Misandrist' a penetrating new play by Lisa Carroll (writer of the 'intoxicating to watch' êêêêê BroadwayWorld; Cuckoo, Soho Theatre) which runs at the Arcola Theatre from 10th May – 10th  June 2023.

In a landscape dominated by a dearth of lesbian stories, it’s refreshing to find one that doesn’t deal with sexuality at all, but focuses on the negotiations of parenthood and the complications of personal connections.

The Beach House will premiere at Park Theatre having been shortlisted for Liverpool Hope Playwriting Prize. The cast comprises Gemma Barnett (Offie winner Best Actress for A Hundred Words for Snow) Kathryn Bond (Breach Theatre's It's True, It's True, It's True) and Gemma Lawrence (A Dead Body in Taos).

It must have been said at some point in history that the course of lesbian love never did run smooth. Jules is vivacious and unconventional, whereas Juniper is thoughtful and quiet. Lustful glances across a noisy bar leads the pair to embark on a fiery relationship, learning to love and trust each other even when they don’t want to.

Stephanie Martin’s Juniper and Jules will open at Soho Theatre 3 May, and run until 14 May, with press night 5 May with direction from Bethany Pitts.
