Today we met with Jess from Jessie's Creations, the winner of our recent design competition! The design will be laser cut into the outside gate by the entrance to our brand-new building, The Windmill Performance & Education Centre, which is set to open this April.

Despite huddling over an iPad this morning to make final tweaks, we'll be revealing the final design once it's installed over the coming weeks. In the meantime, keep an eye on our socials!

ON SALE NOW.

Michigan. Present day. Jimmy Vandenburg, ex-Ford factory car worker, works alone in his garage servicing the classic American cars of his youth. He is the man ‘born down in a dead man’s town’, the antihero of the Bruce Springsteen anthem, trying to survive in the economic wasteland of the rust belt.

A decorated Vietnam war veteran, Jimmy felt his service for his country was ignored after he came home. Trump’s call to ‘Make America Great Again’ appeals to Jimmy’s disillusionment. But his new-found politics drives a wedge between him and his wife and daughter until a chance visit by the son of a fallen comrade makes him doubt his convictions and leads to a profound emotional reconciliation.

In recent years, political debate has become bitterly polarised in the US and increasingly also in the UK. Intolerant ideas are freely expressed in mainstream politics and people once thought extreme now lead populist parties with huge public support in democracies across the world.

This multi-layered, often humorous and intensely moving solo play by award-winning actor-playwright Richard Vergette is a timely exploration of what drives populist politics and how they seduce the disillusioned and the disaffected.

Following 4 and 5 star reviews in Edinburgh and at London’s Park Theatre, it is touring the UK.

Leaving Vietnam contains descriptions of death in warfare and the use of minor swear words.

Tomorrow, you're invited to dive into the funniest, filthiest, most wickedly fabulous pantomime that’s anything but a fairy tale! 🍆

A pantomime that proves happily ever after can be a bit more complicated and a lot more fun! Just one encounter with a little prick could wear our princess out for a hundred years!

This isn’t your grandma’s bedtime story dear.

Join us this month for a one-off screening of The Commander!

The film tells the remarkable true story of Second World War submarine captain Salvatore Todaro, his vessel the Cappellini, and the unlikely moment that follows his crew coming under fire in October 1940.

A brief but violent battle ensues which ends when Todaro sinks the opposing ship – and it is at this point that the commander reaches a decision that is destined to make history: to rescue the 26 Belgian survivors, who would otherwise have been condemned to drown in the middle of the ocean, and to disembark them at the nearest safe harbour, as required by the law of the sea.

To take them all on board, he is forced to sail on the surface for three days, making himself visible to the enemy, risking his own life and those of his men…

One way to enjoy classical music is to not take it so seriously...

With more than 5 million tickets sold in 50+ counties, the string quartet MozART group has more than just a smattering of humour interwoven amongst the horsehair of their bows. Hysterical, even if you don’t know your Mozart from your Bach, but exquisitely performed if you do!

The base of this hilariously funny group is a superb string quartet, whose patron is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Two violinists, a violist and a cellist dressed in high class tails and patent leather shoes. But...that's about it when we want to use the term "classical" in connection with the MozART group.
