Plus new work from Travis Cotton.

The production of Ovid's tales that stays true to its origin while simultaneously jolting the works into the present runs 11 May - 11 June.

The Theatre, managed by Red Line Productions for the last year, have already made a name for themselves as the home of subversive independent theatre-makers, and the 2016 season is expected to continue in this vein.

Masterclass 2 stars Charlie Garber and Gareth Davies, a sequel to this year's season opener Masterclass, 12 - 30 January, set to teach the audience a thing or two.
