APRIL & MAY
The Questors Theatre Friday 26 April - Saturday 4 May
Julius Caesar
Populism. Polarisation. Post-Truth. Caesar returns to Rome in triumph, and is set to tear the Republic apart. Senators Brutus and Cassius conspire to assassinate him to save their democracy, but with no plan for what comes after. Differing motives soon become apparent when principles collide with jealousies and an inescapable political truth. With the twist of modernisation, this is Julius Caesar as it has never been done before.
7.45pm (2.30pm Sunday; not Monday). The Questors Theatre Judi Dench Playhouse
£10 - £20 (season pass, children’s and concession prices available)

The Slaves of Solitude
In a boarding-house outside London, two American GIs, a native-born German and an assortment of misfits are thrown together by the chaos of war. In the world première of a new adaptation by Simon Roberts, this black comedy subtly mirrors the devastating events of WWII through the domestic drama unfolding indoors. Adapted from the novel by Patrick Hamilton, perhaps best known as the writer of the celebrated play, Gas Light (later an equally celebrated film) – the origin of the term ‘gaslighting’.
7.30pm (2.30pm Sunday; not Monday). The Questors Theatre Studio
£10 - £20 (season pass, children’s and concession prices available)

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor, and a leggy lab assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. ‘It’s alive!’ he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

London Wall
A glimpse into the double standards of being a woman in a 1930’s workplace.
After accepting a role as a typist in a solicitor’s office, fresh-faced Pat is soon exposed to the harsh reality of the 1930s workplace – and specifically the attentions of slimy Office Manager, Brewer. Gender and sex politics come to the fore in John Van Druten’s prescient comedy. Revived by the Finborough in 2013, the Guardian’s four-star review described London Wall as a play ‘with a social purpose’ that ‘still has some pertinent things’ to say about ‘sexual double standards and the exploitation of women’.
