Dr Faustus
by Christopher Marlowe and Colin Teevan

Welcome to Hell!

Here is Doctor Faustus the scholar who sold his soul to the Devil. In this new adaption the third and fourth acts of Christopher Marlowe’s Elizabethan classic are re-written by Colin Teevan, updating the satire and placing Faustus in a modern world of avarice and celebrity. Faustus isn’t the only one selling his soul, bankers and media moguls all sign on the dotted line.

This new version was performed at the Duke of York’s Theatre, London in April 2016. This production at the MInack will be it’s amateur premiere produced by the same team that brought a vibrant ‘Twelfth Night’ to life in 2022.

Labour of Love

Description

***RESCHEDULED***

Originally planned for October 2023, we had postpone this production for a variety of reasons. However we have now set new dates, which are 24th to 27th July 2024. We do hope that you will be able to join us then for this brilliant play.

********************

Labour of Love
by James Graham 

Labour of Love is a political comedy set in the Labour party’s traditional northern heartlands. Its particular challenge is that it explores the clash of philosophy, culture and class against the backdrop of the Labour Party over 25 years from Kinnock, through Blair to Corbyn. That sounds quite sombre but it is a really sharp comedy with parts that verge on farce.
 
Labour MP David Lyons cares about modernisation and electability, his constituency agent, Jean Whittaker, cares about principles and her community but, what are their real feelings for each other?
