When: Thursday, 13 November - Saturday, 15 November

Set in 1773, influential actor manager David Garrick must decide whether to stage the radical and unruly new comedy, She Stoops to Conquer – or bow to commercial pressure and play it safe.

A devised musical, The Life of the Party is a kaleidoscopic journey through worlds of melody. It’s not just a night of theatre — it’s the party you’ve been waiting for.

The Effect
When: Wednesday, 03 December - Saturday, 06 December
Where: GEORGE HARRISON WORKSHOP STUDIO, LIPA
Two volunteers in a clinical drug trial find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other — but is it genuine connection, or just chemical reaction?
As emotions surge and ethics blur, the line between science and humanity begins to fray.
Intense and intoxicating, this live multi-media, multi-role version of The Effect explores the price of love, the pull of desire, and the lengths we go to feel something real.
