A Prayer for My Daughter
By Thomas Babe
1am on a steamy summer night. A grubby office in downtown NYC. Two
cops and two crooks battle with wits and fists to uncover the truth
about a crime - but the greatest crime of all is the nature of their
lives.
A hit at the Royal Court and New York's Public Theatre in the 70s,
this is its first London revival.

Mules
By Winsome Pinnock
Mules tells the story of the women who lend their bodies to
smuggle drugs across borders - and who pay the price, and then some.
Winsome Pinnock's most powerfully political play.

Punch’s mad desire for Pretty Polly drives him to a succession
of ritual killings.
Birtwistle’s first opera, premiered at Aldeburgh in 1968, unleashes
the dark forces behind the sea-side Punch. A landmark in British music,
in this its 40th anniversary year, it is conducted by ENO music director
Edward Gardner and directed by Daniel Kramer.
