 Future Conditional tackles the nightmare of British schooling
through a myriad of characters including parents, teachers, and
Alia, a prodigiously clever fourteen-year-old Afghan refugee and
the newest member of Britain's Education Research Board. Alia has a
radical solution for Britain's schools that could restore our place
in the world education league. But is the system ready to take
lessons from a schoolgirl...?
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 'My dear fellow. Dreadfully sorry. I'll be marrying your wife.' A
charming politician and his glamorous new wife evoke a picture of
marital bliss. Her first husband was a liar and a cheat. Her second
is a different batch of chromosomes altogether. Not only is he
chairman of the Feminist Forum but he clearly adores her. He says
so, repeatedly, usually on Thursday nights when he goes out to
'stretch his legs'. Her suspicions are obviously hormonal. But when
he resorts to illusion to maintain the delusion, well, there's a
lot of confusion. If experience has taught her anything it's the
need to fight fire with fire, lies with more lies and every last
trick with pure magic... A comic marvel from the master of French
farce, Georges Feydeau, Every Last Trick is an ingenious look at
the game of infidelity and marriage, given fresh life by Tamsin
Oglesby.
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 Acclaimed as one of the classics of 20th century children's
literature, The Mouse and His Child is a moving story about two
clockwork mice thrown on a scrap heap who then have to begin a
dangerous quest for a place to belong. It is adapted for the stage
by Tamsin Oglesby and will be directed by Paul Hunter, Told By An
Idiot's Co-Artistic Director. The Mouse and His Child continues the
Royal Shakespeare Company's long tradition of creating new stage
adaptations of much-loved childhood tales - including Beauty and
the Beast, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, The Heart of Robin
Hood, and Matilda The Musical, the RSC's award-winning Roald Dahl
adaptation, currently playing in the West End.
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 Bee and Em have been best friends for thirty years: they're on
holiday in rural France, away from the demands of work and family.
But just as they're setting the clocks forward, in steps Chris, a
blast from their school days past. As the evening wears on, the
three women joke and fight with one another just like the old
times. But time plays tricks with memory and some wounds are just
too deep to heal. This provocative and hilarious play takes a
scalpel to childhood friendships and asks whether we ever get over
them.
