A 1950s Docklands–set The Comedy of Errors opens the new season at The Space next month. This debut production from Amo Theatre is followed by the first of a number of one-week runs from companies also making their Space debut including Iron Leaf Productions' The Memoirs of Lucy Bell and The Barebones Project’s PVT Wars.
In-house production company, Space Productions, offers Grand Guignol by Francis Kobayashi and C-12 Dance Company return to the venue for a two-week run of Emerge 13.
Later in the year there are two shows for Christmas: a new adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic poem The Hunting of the Snark for families and a less traditional piece Corpus Christi by Terence McNally from Outfox Productions.
The One Festival, which celebrates and showcases solo performance, returns in January and the venue's open rehearsed readings programme, ScriptSpace, continues over the autumn and winter with new play, The Trunk, developed by Mike Carter through Scriptspace, closing the season.
