Colloquium

“Now, I want you all to listen. Most universities today are money making machines. Oxford not excluded from that; I warrant. But most will drop grade boundaries to allow for more uptake of students to allow for more intake of fees. 
 
Their drive is money. They are built as businesses. 
 
Our drive is education. We are built as a school. 
 
And what do we have left if not our discriminations? Not in the modern sense of the word but, our tastes? Our violence of preference? A life without these – is idiocy. And candidates without these – this set – are idiots.”
 
Colloquium is a hilarious and moving new drama that pulls back the curtain on Britain’s oldest educational institutions. Will the desire for tradition reign, or the inevitability of progress sweep Oxford into becoming a new kind of university?

Sucker Punch

A Theatre Nation Partnerships production, produced by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Sucker Punch by Roy Williams

Two best mates, Leon and Troy, have spent their youth growing up in a boxing gym, figuring out a place in the world, vying for the approval of Charlie, their trainer. Soon Leon and Becky, Charlie’s daughter, are trying to keep a big secret. In a ruthless world. But there can only be one winner, and it’s time everyone stepped into the ring to face up to who they really are…

This tender, bruising and funny play by leading British dramatist Roy Williams, brilliantly explores being young and black in the 80s.

Winning the Alfred Fagon Award, The Writers Guild Award for Best Play and nominated for an Olivier for Best New Play, it first opened in a sell-out production at London’s Royal Court.

A regional premiere of thrillingly staged event theatre, from an exciting partnership of theatres, touring nationally.

The Flood

A Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production

The Flood by Vickie Donoghue

‘There was before the flood and after the flood…‎’

January 1953. A party. Swing dancing to the big band. Opening night of the War Memorial Hall, Canvey Island.‎ The storm approaches. A group of friends will need to put aside secrets in order to survive…

January 2013. A ropey-looking buffet. 50s records. A tea and dance to remember. Friends who need each other more than ever. But will they realise before it’s too late…

January 2053. A chance to return to the Hall for one last time, despite danger, to make sense of what ‎happened. Is the truth finally coming out, or is the past best left buried…

Based on real-life events, this world premiere production of an extraordinarily tender and timely play is about calling a place home – and what that really means.
