The Revlon Girl
Set in 1966, eight months after the Aberfan disaster, The Revlon Girl tells the story of a group of bereaved mothers who meet every week above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty. One night they admit they feel they have let themselves go so afraid that other people would think them frivolous they secretly arrange for a Revlon representative to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.
A poignant, funny and heart-warming play about surviving grief.
The Railway Children
Meet Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis as they tell the story of how they became The Railway Children. Their lives change dramatically when their father is mysteriously taken away. Transported from London to rural Yorkshire, they befriend the local railway porter, Perks, and embark on a magical journey of discovery, friendship and adventure. But the mystery remains – where is Father and is he ever coming back?
This, imaginative, widely acclaimed adaptation of a beloved classic, captures the anxieties and exhilarations of childhood with great tenderness and insight.

Dad's Army (Royal Spa)
From the writers of Dad’s Army this wonderful homage allows for a chance to see these much-loved characters as you’ve never seen them before, brought to life by Brighton Little Theatre!
Join the troops of our very own blundering yet fearless home guard in Walmington-on-Sea for more fun than you can shake a Morris dancer’s stick at! Action packed antics for all of the family to enjoy.
Nazi rascals behind enemy lines, a glimpse of the Mums behind the army, and even Lady Godiva… but whatever you do, don’t tell Pike!

Airswimming
Described by Jones herself as ‘a comedy about despair’ Airswimming conjures warmth and hilarity from the most desperate of situations.
Dora and Persephone – who somewhere along the play’s non-linear narrative become Dorph and Porph – are incarcerated in an institution for the criminally insane.
They arrive in the 1920s, at the hands of families who immediately forget them, and are not released for over 50 years.
Anne Boleyn
This is a celebration of a great English heroine, dramatising the life and legacy of Henry VIII’s notorious second wife Anne, who helped change the course of a nation’s history. Traditionally either seen as a pawn of an ambitious family or as a predator manipulating her way to power, Anne and her ghost are seen in a very different light in this epic play.
With a cast of characters including the infamous Henry, King James I and Thomas Cromwell this play is both historically illuminating while managing to be dearly funny.
Youth@TheLittle
The Machine Gunners
It’s 1940 and Britain is at war. Young Chas McGill has the second best collection of war souvenirs in town but desperately wants to be the best. Amidst the bombs and air raids, friendships are forged and loyalties tested in the adventure of a lifetime.
Pride & Prejudice
Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that is finding a suitable match for each of her five daughters. We follow the turbulent relationship between our spirited heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, and the enigmatic Fitzwilliam Darcy. Will they overcome their pride and prejudice to fall in love?
Dark Sublime
When Oli arrives at Marianne’s door, he’s looking for an autograph - and maybe a friend. Marianne’s hoping for the phone to ring, for her best friend to see her differently, for her turn at something more substantial than a half-remembered role on a cult TV show. As they start to explore each other’s worlds, they begin to discover what every good relationship needs: time and space. Exploring the complexities of connection, especially in the LGBTQ+ community, and the contrast in lived experiences across generations, the play is comedic and touching, a love letter to British sci-fi television - those that make it and those that adore it.
A play about joy and heartbreak, quarries, and transmat beams.
Blink
A Love Story… A dark-humoured, dysfunctional kind of love story that can only grow between two shy, socially awkward young adults. Sophie, invisible and vulnerable, and Jonah, sheltered by an upbringing in a religious commune, develop an unusual connection in an age of indirect, technology assisted communication. Powerfully written with themes of grief, romance, introversion, voyeurism, OCD and loneliness. Love is not a cast iron set of symptoms.
The 39 Steps
A man on the run for a murder he didn’t commit!
Hunted by a vicious German spy ring because he knows of the British plans to take on the Luftwaffe should war break out!
But most of all what are the 39 steps? Where are they? What is their significance?
To discover the answers to these and other baffling questions come and watch Richard Hannay as his escapades defy belief and against all the odds saves Britain from certain destruction!
Absent Friends
It's always good to see old friends - isn't it?
All Diana wants to do is to console the recently bereaved Colin with a gathering of old friends and a nice cup of tea. But the reunion succeeds only in pouring salt into wounds.
Acerbic and painfully funny, Absent Friends explores friendship, marriage and what it ultimately means to be happy. In one of his finest plays, Ayckbourn’s craftsmanship and acute social observation have never been sharper or more biting.
