IODS Presents... Company

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert, struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows out his birthday candles. Robert contemplates his unmarried state. The lone bachelor, surrounded by “those good and crazy people”, his married friends, Robert is uncertain whether he should simply be happy with his lot or whether he should wish for his own romantic partner.

Over a series of dinner parties, first dates, thoughtful conversations, and even a wedding, Robert attempts to understand the pros and cons of marriage from his diverse and frequently hilarious friends. Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood and begins to make sense of why he is unwilling to marry.

Company, Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking modern musical, is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and “being alive.”

As part of the Redbridge Creates International Womens Week, Elaine Britten presents... ROSSETTI'S STUNNERS

‘One face looks out from all his canvases…

not as she is, but as she fills his dreams’

The famed Pre-Raphaelite painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, immortalised ordinary women as goddesses in art and called them: Stunners.

This is a new play: part theatre, part lecture, part riff on beauty, gender and class. Also inspired by Woodford born William Morris whose wife Jane was a leading muse.

Writer and performer Elaine Britten explores her own local story set against the story of these audacious Victorians, crafted with humour and carefully researched.

Come and visit Santa’s Workshop, where Santa and his hard-working elves are busily getting ready for The Big Day!

Lastly, you can make your own way to our Christmas Kitchen where you'll be able to buy gingerbread and a hot cocoa.

The experience will last appoximately 45-60 minutes.

Redbridge Creates Presents… Singing In The Rain Jr

The "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time" is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain JR. Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain JR. a guaranteed good.

Singin' in the Rain JR. has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.

"Innocence, There is a Mark on You"

Kat Mary Productions presents a new imagining of the haunting play by Georg Buchner. Set amidst the backdrop of WW1, Woyzeck is a startling depiction of the lowly soldier plagued by visions of the apocalypse and plunged into homicidal lunacy by the world around him. The agonizing effects of war trauma and the devastating impact of extreme poverty and societal abuse still resonate over 180 years after the play was first written.
