A hilarious reimagining of Mary Todd Lincoln as a woman desperate to become a cabaret star, set in the weeks before her husband's assassination. (Filmed live from the Trafalgar Theatre on 28-29 July 2026.)

Nine-year-old Johnny sends his spirit into his babysitter Melanie and gets to be a woman for a day.

When a fairy king quarrels with his queen over a young changeling, he orders his servant, a mischievous sprite, to play a prank on her with hilarious consequences. Adapting Shakespeare’s classic comedy of confused identities, bewildered lovers and a startling metamorphosis, Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream comprises the composer’s perhaps most atmospheric score. An entrancing orchestration of instrumental colours breathes life into a magic wood setting the scene for a mysterious dream world.
