Following their Transmission residency last summer, this is your chance to experience the premiere of Bending Reality, the latest production from Nua Dance. Our brains don’t just perceive reality — they reconstruct it. But what if what we see isn’t all there is? Blending dance, circus, and parkour, Bending Reality unravels shifting perspectives and hidden layers of perception. A sculptural dress reshapes the space, while Ben Glover’s video design captures the moments between what is seen and imagined. As with previous Nua Dance productions, this show prioritises accessibility for deaf audiences through creative captions, vibrotactile wearable devices, and a sound description.

A new “New Musical” showcase, Before It Hits brings snapshots of six in-development musicals by some of the West End’s best emerging writers to Upstairs At The Gatehouse. Hosted by standup comedian Farah Sharp (named ‘One to watch’ in the Funny Women Awards and featured on BBC Radio 4) and created by the team behind Olivier-nominated The Choir of Man, expect to see a variety of exciting new shows at various stages of their development. The first outing of Before It Hits is set to feature works by established West End writers, creatives and performers, and is guaranteed to be a scintillating evening promoting rising talent.

Offie nominated writer Maeve O'Haire brings her one woman show 'The Behaviours of Posie Marshall' to stage, in which twenty-one characters come to life in a dark comedic setting. Posie Marshall leads us through 37 hours of her life, when the police find her in the footwell of a Range Rover. Posie 'Po' Marshall is a fun loving, slightly anxious, tag along who looks after her family and friends despite them not always reciprocating. Her brother Jason has a chequered past which has given the family a reputation. Follow Posie as she battles with her demons through house parties, uncomfortable conversations, eye opening realisations and a surprise visit to a custody cell.
