SUMMARY:Van Gogh and Me
DESCRIPTION:Van Gogh and Me \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Van Gogh and Me \n\n\n\nDirected by John Retallack \n\n\n\nAu Contraire Productions presents four preview performances of Van Gogh & Me. \n\n\n\nOlivier Award-winning theatre maker John Retallack and acclaimed actor Jack Ellis are reuniting for the first time in over 40 years with Van Gogh & Me\, a deeply personal new play exploring the relationship between Van Gogh and Gauguin.  \n\n\n\nWith over 20 paintings\, it tells the extraordinary story of the intense\, nine-week collaboration between Van Gogh and Gauguin in Arles in 1888. \n\n\n\nPerformed by Jack Ellis\, who moves fluidly between an unstable\, chaotic Van Gogh and a domineering\, self-assured Gauguin\, the piece dissects a tragic clash of egos. \n\n\n\nBy playing both men (and himself)\, Ellis lays bare the undercurrents of toxic masculinity and competitive pride that fuelled their isolation — bringing to life a creative partnership that\, though profound in its impact on modern art\, was to prove personally destructive to both men. \n\n\n\nAs the show ends\, the audience is invited to remain for a 30-minute interactive gathering. Spectators can step directly onto the stage\, examine Rachel Marston’s canvas reproductions up close\, and discuss the play openly with Ellis. \n\n\n\nVan Gogh & Me will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe on August 15 at the Dovecot Studios and have a run of 21 performances. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Van Gogh and Me Poster\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStandard – £15.00 \n\n\n\nPay more – £20.00 \n\n\n\nPay less – £10.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 01 and Sunday 02 August 2026 at 1.00pm and 3.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour plus 30 minutes optional post-show discussion with the performer. \n\n\n\nAge guidance:  \n\n\n\n12+ \n\n\n\nWarning: \n\n\n\nThis show contains a trigger warning; audience discretion is advised. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note that all performances for this show will be performed at Iffley Village Hall\, Church Way\, Iffley\, Oxford\, OX4 4EJ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.

Over the next 80 minutes you will watch her strip back\, literally and figuratively\, the layers of what and why to the how she got here moments.  \n\n\n\n“She’s casually conversational one moment\, teetering on the edge of insanity the next.” (King River Magazine) and as she takes her journey you’ll take yours. What is the ultimate cost of mastery? And do you become what you do? \n\n\n\nAlso\, she plays the cello really well. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the Critics Say: \n\n\n\n\n“A thought-provoking\, inventive and emotional hour of storytelling that is bursting with talent.” ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nNorth West End  \n\n\n\n\n\n“Comic timing as impeccable as her playing.” ★★★★ \n\n\n\nEverything Theatre UK  \n\n\n\n\n\n“Beyond the laughs and beautiful music are ideas and admissions aplenty… A show as special as Delusions and Grandeur will not soon escape the memory.” ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nThe Recs Edinburgh  \n\n\n\n\n\n“Karen Hall is a performer of great warmth and charm\, who has mastered the art of captivating an audience.” ★★★★ \n\n\n\nWee Review\, Edinburgh  \n\n\n\n\n\n“This show is a delightful combination of storytelling\, humour and glorious music.

SUMMARY:Titania
DESCRIPTION:Titania\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Titania\n\n\n\nDo you still believe in fairies?  \n\n\n\nMore than four centuries after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream\,\nTitania is still here.  \n\n\n\nBut things have changed.  \n\n\n\nFour hundred years after A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, the fairy queen Titania remains – but not quite as the bard wrote her.  \n\n\n\nIn this striking new one-woman show\, Titania (Nia Gwynne\, Pride\, Darkest Hour\, King Lear\, Titus Andronicus) has fallen into our world. She sweeps the theatre. She lives off scraps. She watches. And she has taken something she cannot easily return.  \n\n\n\nPart confessional\, part spell\, part stand-up\, Titania pieces together what happened after Shakespeare’s ending.

SUMMARY:Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True
DESCRIPTION:Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\nAbingdon Drama Club is proud to present ‘Things I Know to Be True’ by acclaimed Australian playwright Andrew Bovell — a beautifully observed and deeply moving exploration of family\, love\, and identity.  \n\n\n\nAt the heart of the play are Bob and Fran\, devoted parents who have worked their fingers to the bone to provide for their four children. With their children now grown\, it may finally be time to slow down and tend to their beloved garden — and perhaps enjoy the fruits of their labour.  \n\n\n\nBut as the seasons change\, so too does the landscape of their family life. Long-held assumptions are challenged\, expectations unravel\, and shattering truths emerge\, forcing each member of the family to confront who they are — and what they mean to one another.  \n\n\n\nTold through the eyes of the four adult siblings\, Things I Know To Be True is as tender as it is bold. Each child struggles to define themselves beyond the powerful pull of parental love and expectation. As they pursue independence\, they must also navigate the enduring bonds that both sustain and constrain them.  \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Abingdon Drama Club presents Things I Know to Be True by Andrew Bovell\n\n\n\nPoetic\, humorous\, and brutally frank\, the play is a complex and intense study of the mechanics of a family — a story that resonates with anyone who has ever loved\, lost\, or longed to be understood.  \n\n\n\nBovell’s writing captures the quiet heroism of ordinary lives while asking profound questions: Can love ever be too much? And what does it truly mean to let go?  \n\n\n\nAbingdon Drama Club’s production promises an emotionally rich and compelling theatrical experience that will leave audiences reflecting on their own families long after the curtain falls. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStandard – £15.00 \n\n\n\nConcessions – £12.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a booking fee\, and can be purchased online or from The Bookstore \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note: The production was rescheduled from Wednesday 25 to Saturday 28 March 2026.

SUMMARY:The Magic Tower
DESCRIPTION:The Magic Tower \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Magic Tower \n\n\n\nUniversity of Oxford Student Season: Trinity Term 2026 \n\n\n\nBy Tennessee Williams \n\n\n\n“Make-believe? Of course it isn’t! It’s absolutely real.” \n\n\n\nLinda and Jim live in a run-down garret. They have made the room into their refuge\, a hidey-hole from landladies and late bills. Together they imagine magical forests\, laugh among their unpacked boxes\, safe in their room\, curtains closed. But when Jim leaves in pursuit of his big break\, the tower begins to crumble. \n\n\n\nThis is Tennessee Williams’ rarely staged one-act play. Distilling his rich characterisation into under an hour\, it powerfully lays bare how economic realities come knocking and escapism is nothing but a thin\, flimsy sheet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£6.00 to £8.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nTuesday 26 to Saturday 30 May 2026 at 9.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n45 minutes \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nBurton Taylor Studio \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n12+ \n\n\n\nContent guidance: \n\n\n\nThis show contains themes of emotional distress and allusions to states of poor mental health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.
