by Bernard Shaw
directed by Dominic Cooke
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
Power, fortune, destiny. They say things come in threes and for Macbeth, that certainly is the case. In war-torn Scotland, Macbeth encounters three strange creatures who bring him news of great things to come, but impatience, greed and his ambitious wife leave him questioning the right path to take.
Big Spirit Youth Theatre brings their own unique interpretation of this classic to The QMT stage.

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson
directed by Pam Chohan
A mystery so dark it is almost funny and a comedy so funny it is almost criminal.
A lonely manor. A cursed family. A will with too many motives and a moor with too much fog. When Sir Charles Baskerville drops dead under suspicious and possibly supernatural circumstances only one man can get to the truth and he brings his doctor with him. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson dive headfirst into the mystery of a giant glowing howling beast said to hunt the Baskerville line and quickly discover that the only thing more maddening in the dark than a demon hound is the suspects.
In this riotously clever comedy adaptation by Steven Canny and John Nicholson (Peepolykus) the world’s greatest detective meets gothic horror and knocks it sideways. Expect lightning paced character swapping physical comedy theatrical trickery ridiculous revelations and just enough genuine detective work to make you feel like you have solved something.
Is the curse real? Is somebody using local superstition for their own ends? And will Watson ever get a quiet moment to write his diary in peace? One thing is certain. Something with large teeth is out there and it is not on a lead.
Fiendishly funny gleefully theatrical and gloriously daft. This is Conan Doyle as you have never seen him.
by William Shakespeare
directed by Robert Hastie
