The first British Vietnamese play staged in the UK
|
 |
“That girl. She always makes me shout. If we’re not careful, she’ll turn rotten like an English child”
Mai is impulsive, intelligent, independent and growing up fast. As well as realising from a young age that her family are nursing deep wounds and secrets, she also has to navigate her dual identity as a second generation immigrant.
Having escaped war-torn Vietnam, her family’s individual journeys and memories have left scars that Mai was too young to understand. Embracing their silence, Mai’s camera becomes a conduit through which her journey of discovery begins.
Summer Rolls by critically-acclaimed actress Tuyen Do (The Great Wave, National Theatre) is a sweeping family saga that examines the Nguyen family’s life in Britain. This marks a seminal moment as the first British Vietnamese play to be staged in the United Kingdom.

Whodunnit [Unrehearsed]
By Jez Bond & Mark Cameron
Directed by Jez Bond & Mark Cameron
15 Jul – 27 Jul
Park200
Over 75% tickets sold!
An isolated manor, a storm brewing and a stranger at the door. The clichés flow as freely as the suspicious liquor in the library, but this murder mystery spoof has one hell of a twist.
Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] not only features the voices of Ian McKellen, Judi Dench and Miriam Margolyes, but also a different celebrity in each performance stepping in as the Inspector without any rehearsal and without ever having seen the script.
Gargantuan guests – including Clive Anderson, Gillian Anderson, John Bishop, Gyles Brandreth, Marcus Brigstocke, Jim Broadbent, Adam Hills, Ronan Keating, Damian Lewis, Maureen Lipman, Joanna Lumley, Jason Manford, Neil Morrissey, Clarke Peters, Meera Syal, Catherine Tate, Sandi Toksvig, Tim Vine and Ruby Wax – will have their lines fed to them live onstage via an earpiece as they attempt to crack the case, avoid the furniture and stagger their way to justice.
We won’t be announcing which date each of our celebrity friends is playing the Inspector – the mystery is who will walk through the door at your performance!

The Actor’s Nightmare
By Christopher Durang
Directed by Lydia Parker
16 Jul – 10 Aug
Park90
Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Durang explores the entertainment industry through biting satire and surreal comedy.
From Tennessee Williams to Euripides, tossing in a bit of Beckett, no renowned playwright is safe. Classic plays are warped and distorted – the outcome is both shocking and hilarious.
With a female-led creative team and an ensemble cast featuring: Meaghan Martin (Camp Rock), Kate Sumpter (The Little Drummer Girl) and Stefan Menaul(Dirty Dancing, West End).
