Natalie Palamides: WEER tells the story of Mark and Christina, a couple who meet in 1996 and fall in love. We see their love story starting from the end on New Year’s Eve in 1999, using flashbacks to show how the pair became a couple and what led to their tragic end. It’s your classic 90s rom-drom (romantic dramedy), but here’s the thing that makes it a little bit different - Palamides is playing both Mark and Christina, with her costume and makeup done in halves to show each side of the couple.

Joanna Pickering's brand-new plays have found development success and plans for staged runs commencing in fall 2024 to 2025.

A seven-hour piece of marathon theatre may not be everyone's cup of tea. But the demanding length of The Seven Streams of the River Ota brings with it such a dazzling array of perks that it's nearly impossible to resist the challenge of sitting through it.

The revival at the National Theatre reminds us with force and verve why this remains the case.
