1984
by George Orwell, adapted by Matthew Dunsterdirected by Sophie Clement
Various Times • Wednesday 29th April – Saturday 2nd May 2026

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.

Winston faithfully rewrites history for the Ministry of Truth, fearful that any day his hidden resentment will be revealed. He embarks down a road of quiet disobedience, discovering kindred spirits along the way, knowing that the only way to live is to accept that he is already dead.

Delve into Winston’s mind as he navigates the complexities of a dystopian Britain, where the government decides what is real and Big Brother is always watching.

George Orwell’s 1984, adapted by Matthew Dunster, is a faithful and enthralling adaptation that brings the heart of the challenges and warnings raised by the original work to life.

A Bright Room Called Day
by Tony Kushnerdirected by Marlowe Mitchell
Various Times • Wednesday 17th – Saturday 20th June 2026

What do you do when your world is spiralling out of control?

Berlin, 1933. In a modest apartment, the laughter and political discussions of a group of friends mingle as the shadow of tyranny creeps closer. Years later, the questions still burn, when the world changes towards prejudice and injustice, do we resist, comply, or look away?

From the mind of Tony Kushner (Angels In America), A Bright Room Called Day is a portrait of friendship, fear, and the peril of doing nothing in the face of oppression. Spanning nearly 100 years, it asks how ordinary people respond when faced with impossible decisions, and shines a light on how our choices echo across decades.

Tickets for A Bright Room Called Day are on sale now from the Leeds Ticket Hub and, before performances, from the Carriageworks Box Office in the Electric Press building on Millennium Square. Please book your tickets online, or by telephoning 0113 376 0318 between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Saturday.
