'Nothing short of hilarious' The Guardian
In 1970s Philadelphia, the Harrisons are the most respectable middle-class Black family in the suburbs - until their young niece from the rural South turns their polite, Christian life on its head.

Set in the midst of the Cold War, Lee Blessing's powerful and startling play dramatises a stand-off between US and Soviet arms negotiators as they battle for supremacy.
Full of tension and humour, A Walk in the Woods shows how the relationship between the two experts evolves as they stroll in the woods above Geneva, away from the glare of the negotiating table.
But will this escape lead to a true breakthrough or just more posturing?
In this revised version of the play, originally performed at Northern Stage, Vermont, a woman plays the role of the US negotiator.

Presented by Lyric Theatre Belfast
Gerry and Iggy, two labourers from Belfast face the end of their lives in a London hostel talking of the present and thinking of the past. They argue about who has the biggest liver, the names of tube stations and whether they should go back to Belfast or not.
But where are the women in their lives?
The Absence of Women is a funny and poignant play about the journey of two ordinary and lonely Belfast men. It's a tale of life and its endless possibilities, missed opportunities and how one man's choice, in one instant, can alter the path of his life forever.
Watch a trailer for Broken Glass by Arthur Miller. Playing at the Tricycle for 33 performances only prior to West End transfer, with Antony Sher, Tara Fitzgerald and Stanley Townsend.
A new play by Billy Roche
Roll-up, roll-up, and enter the shady world of Delaney's Travelling Roadshow...
Step inside the boxing ring... smell it, sense it, feel it. And somewhere between the fights and the fortune tellers, the bookies and the bloodshed, rub shoulders with its wayward wards.
Set in rural Ireland in the early 60s, Lay Me Down Softly takes us inside the darkly comic and colourful world of the old travelling carnival. When young runaway Emer arrives in search of her long lost father, and a challenge from a professional boxer is thrown into the ring, everything in this run-down sideshow is set to change forever.
Inhabiting a forgotten world that is nonetheless brimming with all too-familiar passions and human foibles, Lay Me Down Softly is a slice of vintage Roche. It follows his acclaimed productions The Wexford Trilogy and The Cavalcaders and other much-loved tales of small-town Ireland.
Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor
On 14 September 2003, at the Haitham Hotel in Basra, Iraq, Baha Mousa and nine others were arrested by the British Army as suspected insurgents.
Two days later Baha Mousa was dead. A post-mortem examination revealed that he had suffered from asphyxiation, and had received at least 93 injuries to his body whilst in the Army's custody.
In 2008 the Secretary of State for Defence announced a Public Inquiry into Baha Mousa's death and the treatment of those detained with him.
Tactical Questioning brings together scenes from the Public inquiry which examined the shocking events that took place over those two days of detention, and the British Army's policies towards the treatment of detainees.
This production comes after the final evidence has been heard, and before the Baha Mousa Inquiry reports this summer
With this year's Oscar® nominations just announced, we've lined up a very special week celebrating our picks of the best submissions for the Foreign Language Film. Join us for a unique week of cinema with UK Premieres, special preview screenings, and a chance to revisit some of the most critically acclaimed entries released in 2010.
