Fri Sep 18 – Sun Oct 18
Summer 1947. Joe Keller is a self-made manufacturer and a pillar of his neighbourhood, and his younger son Larry has been missing since the war. When the older son announces he means to marry Larry's sweetheart, buried truths surface. Miller took the plot from a real wartime case.
Wed Oct 14 – Thu Oct 22
Fabiola Decius’s dramedy pairs Danny, a gregarious student athlete on academic probation, with True, the valedictorian-to-be tutoring him, whose overachieving masks deep uncertainty, and asks whether an authentic friendship can grow from a transactional start. The Lyric bills it as a nod to classic teen movies of the late 90s and early 00s. Alexandra Smith directs Matthew Beagan, Grace Picone, Jamil Johnson and Liam McCarron.
Fri Nov 13 – Thu Dec 31
The Cornley University Drama Society attempts J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and the flying rig, the set, a love triangle and Captain Hook's meltdown all work against them. Mischief Theatre's slapstick is engineered with far more precision than the incompetence it depicts.
Fri Feb 5 – Sun Feb 28
The fading Hollywood star Marina Gregg arrives in a sleepy English village to make a film, and at the reception in her honour a local woman — her self-described biggest fan — dies from a poisoned cocktail. Miss Marple is on hand. A new adaptation of Christie's novel.
Fri Mar 19 – Sun Apr 11
It is 2003 and LeBron James is coming to Cleveland, but superfan Matt has to sell his season tickets after a business venture fails. Shawn buys them, and Rajiv Joseph follows the two men's friendship across the length of a basketball career.
Fri Apr 30 – Sun Jun 20
Boublil and Schonberg's setting of Hugo, following Valjean from the galleys through the June Rebellion of 1832 while Javert pursues him. This is the newer production staged by arrangement with Cameron Mackintosh, not the original revolving-stage version. Hugo published the novel in 1862, and it runs past a thousand pages.
