A high-flying management consultant can restructure a company, but can she restructure her life? At home, her boyfriend won’t stop playing computer games and, at work, her client seems far too interested in her hands. In a world where efficiency and performance are everything, how do we deal with the things that can’t be managed? The Royal Court’s smash-hit production of Laura Wade’s Posh recently transferred to London’s West End. Vital Signs now present the first professional revival of her compelling and funny play from 2006 about love, human interaction – and repetitive strain injury. |

RL Stephenson, Adapted by Nick Lane | ||||||||
|
Wed 17th October at 8:00pm |
|||||||||
Doctor Henry Jekyll is a good man. Successful within his field, respected by his peers… and close to a neurological discovery that will change the face of medical science forever. But his methods are less than ethical. When a close friend and colleague threatens to expose and destroy his work, Jekyll is forced to experiment on himself – and something goes very wrong.
Or very right.
Suddenly Jekyll has a new ‘friend’, the brutal Edward Hyde, and he has willed his entire fortune to him. But what is Jekyll’s true legacy?
Love, betrayal and murder combine in this chilling adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of good and evil.

The Play revolves around Truvy’s Beauty Parlour in a small town in Louisiana. Steel Magnolias is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together there. Filled with humour and heartbreak, these "Steel Magnolias" make us laugh and cry as the realities of their lives in tiny Chiquapin Parish unfolds.
Through the views of these different women as the play progresses we see love, apathy, pain, loss, secrecy and a desperate attempt at living a life of happiness. Dreams built and burnt, the power of hope, the love between a mother and her child and the bond that can be so unbreakable between true friends. |
