The Pulitzer Prize winning

• Dinner with Friends
• By Donald Margulies
• The box office smash hit of 2006 returns!
• Dinner with Friends follows two married couples who have been best friends for years. Food journalists, Karen and Gabe's lives are as carefully composed as their lemon polenta cake. But their lives are thrown upside down when one night a close friend arrives to dinner with a life-changing secret, a secret that rocks the delicate balance between love and friendship. A humorous and truthful look at food, family and the fall-out that deception and break-ups can cause.

"This performance of Donald Margulies' Pulitzer-prize winning play is solid, being well-directed and well-acted... tremendous stage presence, evoking empathy and fascination...a real pleasure to watch" – Vibewire

If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success…

This superbly crafted satire follows a crack team of US marines as they plan the assassination of a moustachioed Middle Eastern dictator, code-named... “the bearded lady”.

Bursting at the seams with bayonet sharp dialogue and laced with black comedy, Pugilist Specialist is the Dr Strangelove of our times - A rapid fire thrill ride that explores the moral ambiguity of modern warfare.

“engrossing, inventive... bound to send the audience out talking.” - New York Times
