“We are Emilia. Time to listen!”

Set in the turbulent backdrop of Elizabethan England Emilia Lanier is a poet, a rebel and a commodity. Often restricted in history to being the ‘dark lady’ muse to one William Shakespeare, Emilia is a vibrant and erudite woman who fights tooth and nail to let her writing have the same standing as her male counterparts. Comedic, heart-breaking and feisty – and with an all-female cast our heroine would be proud of – this play seems to emulate Emilia’s character, and holds a mirror up to our treatment of women throughout the ages.  

We are entranced by the Moon. It controls our tides, marks our time, and has inspired countless stories, myths, songs, and poems. And in July 1969, we walked on its surface. Featuring astronauts, lovelorn science teachers, werewolves, and a special guest appearance by the Moon itself, supported by a talented cast of household objects, Luna is a rich feast of storytelling, music, history and science, celebrating this fascination with our oldest friend.
