  About the play:
  

  Till The Stars Come Down is both hilarious and tragic family drama. It’s full of love and loss, secrets and lies, humour and despair. The action is played out during one day in a former mining town in Nottinghamshire.

  It's the day of Sylvia’s wedding to Marek and the family is excited and overflowing with good wishes for their future happiness, until the vodka starts flowing, and resentments and secrets threaten the day’s harmony….

  Beth Steel's play Till the Stars Come Down premiered at the National Theatre in January 2024 and transferred to the West End in 2025. The play was shortlisted for Best Play at the 2025 Standard Theatre Awards.

  Review Quotes for National Theatre production of Till The Stars Come Down:

  'Beth Steel's play has it all: the earthy humour tingling with originality, the canvas both big and small and the larger-than-life characters bouncing to life before us in pain, joy, and laughter... a masterclass in multi-layered conversational naturalism... rollicking, complex and bearing the tragic inevitability of Greek drama'

  Guardian

  'Stunning... a modern classic... a magnificent combination of earthiness and explosions of half-suppressed emotion... It's a mighty achievement'

  The Times

  'Beautifully observed and often bruisingly hilarious... a rich, multifaceted character study of an entire family... you'd have to be made of stone not to laugh like a drain... it's wonderfully written, building to a dynamite final scene... a funny, heartbreaking piece of writing'

  ABOUT THE PLAY:

  We have lost America, we may lose the King.

  The nation stands on the brink of constitutional crises: when those who rule are no longer fit for the job, what does power look like?  Who gets to make decisions in their absence?

  In Bennett’s beautifully wrought portrayal of George III, divine right meets the frailty of the human body.  His exploration of the King’s first significant period of mental illness is as tender as it is brutal, as humour counterpoises the horrors of 18^th Century medicine.  The Madness of George III examines kingship, identity, health and the tensions between public and private life with wit and a deftness of touch.

  Originally performed at the National Theatre in 1991 before embarking on a tour of the UK and USA, the play was adapted for the screen and released in 1994 under the title The Madness of King George.

  This amateur production of "The Madness of George III" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

  That Face
  By Polly StenhaM

  Directed by Paula Robinson

  Performances: Tuesday 10 November 2026 – Saturday 14 November 2026 at 7:45pm with afternoon matinee at 3pm on Sat 14th November

  Putney Arts Theatre Studio 

  Polly Stenham’s That Face begins with a disturbing incident at an elite boarding school. What appears at first to be a cruel teenage prank quickly becomes something far more serious, forcing fifteen-year-old, Mia to return to London and bringing her fractured family back into contact with one another. Her older brother Henry, only eighteen, has been living in the shadow of their mother Martha’s struggle with addiction and instability, taking on the role of carer, protector and emotional anchor while their father Hugh has built a new life abroad.

  As the consequences of the school incident intensify, the family is pushed towards confrontation. Hugh’s return threatens to expose how much has been neglected, while Martha and Henry’s dangerously dependent relationship begins to unravel under pressure. Moving between dark humour, tenderness and emotional violence, That Face explores what happens when privilege hides damage, when adults fail to take responsibility, and when young people are left to carry the weight of a collapsing home.

  Content warnings:
