Miscast is a concept that has given artists creative and performance freedom, it features some of the best song musical theatre has to offer – but it is sung by those who would not typically be cast in those roles, for whatever the reason!

This is no ordinary cabaret. Sarah has been the muse of industry legends for over two decades. This is her life story.

Following an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Sarah McGuinness Story is set to transfer to London. The Emmy-nominated documentary maker and musician, also known as an industry muse to entertainment legends, has turned the lens on herself to present a brand new poignant and powerful cabaret telling her life story. The critically acclaimed director of Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story and Noma: the story of Noma Dumezweni presents an extraordinary musical journey of her own life, blending the power of live performance and memory. The Sarah McGuinness Story runs from 15th Sept - 4th October at Etcetera Theatre in Camden.

Through the music of David Bowie, Kate Bush, Kurt Weill, Sondheim and Kander & Ebb’s “Cabaret” as well as a few of her own songs, this production takes audiences from Sarah’s childhood on the Irish border in Derry, examining both her complicated relationship with her Irish roots and her family’s dysfunction, through to the heights of her international success as her life intertwines with entertainment icons.

Turning her award-winning documentary process on herself and working in collaboration with Luisa Omielan, Angela Vargos and Jessica Willcocks Skeggs, McGuinness has delved into long forgotten memories, traumatic and hilarious in equal measure for the new production. Witness this powerhouse of a woman standing in her own force, breaking past the damage inflicted on her to find her own voice and take control of the narrative.

She draws a line in the sand against past oppressors with the help of epic songs such as Life on Mars and Babooshka. Be a part of the rallying cry for a better world whilst getting an intriguing insight into life amongst A-list celebrities, and hearing about the unexpected bonds formed with Hollywood legends.

Sarah McGuinness said: “Never listen to a gobshite”.

“This is my own life story which only made sense after my mother’s death, when a close relative unlocked buried memories which completely changed my understanding of my early life and the negative self image it forced on me, while making me uniquely able to unlock the talents of others. It is a collection of stories and songs, well known and original, through which for the first time I am telling the truth about my life that I have been asked to reveal so often before.”

School friends Amelia, Poppy and Lauren are wild camping in the Northumberland forest. As the woods darken around them and tensions flare, a watchful presence takes hold over the camp.

With female, queer and neurodivergent perspectives centre stage, Birdwatching is a new folk horror about the female experience that doesn’t look away. Winner of Best New Writing from Edinburgh Horror Festival's awards 'The Spookies' 2024. Fresh from a tour of Southern China.

Your twenties can feel like you’re stuck in a game you can’t win - or even understand.

Unfortunately for Alex, Jamie and Riley, this isn’t just a feeling. That’s reality.

In this absurd comedy-drama, they’ve made a deal with the Devil - forcing them into dangerous, bizarre rituals to protect their personal and professional lives. Not fulfilling their end of the bargain threatens not just their friendship, but their families, health, livelihoods and relationships.

Constantly running to stay exactly where they are, how can they possibly win a game so rigged?

Even if they survive, was the life they wanted worth it?

By Roopak Khara: Bedfellas & We Are All The Patient
Two darkly humorous short plays by Roopak Khara, doctor and playwright

Step into a world where reality teeters on the edge of the absurd, and human connection is anything but ordinary. In Bedfellas, meet Steve, an unremarkable man with an all-too-familiar problem—his prostate. As late-night visitors disrupt his damp existence, Steve’s desperate longing for meaning leads him on a surreal journey filled with humor, horror, and the ever-pressing question: Can something as mundane as urine save the world?

In We Are All The Patient, a seasoned psychiatrist faces an unsettling encounter with a mysterious patient that forces him to confront the thin line between enlightenment and madness. As the boundaries blur, this gripping play challenges our perceptions of mental health, leaving us to question: aren’t we all a patient in one way or another?

Darkly funny, unnerving, and poignant, these two plays offer a sharp commentary on the human condition, mental health, and the strange ways we cope with the absurdities of life. Written by Roopak Khara, a mental health doctor with a Punjabi twist, these tales will leave you both laughing and contemplating the deeper questions of existence.

Winner of the National GALA Award for Irish Arts and Entertainment. Nominated for Best New Play: Brighton Fringe, Prague Fringe, Manchester Fringe.

Moira, an ambitious young civil servant in 1970s Dublin, is forced to confront being blackmailed at work for who she is. Does she just submit to it, or fight back and risk everything that she’s worked for?

Mark moves, very reluctantly, from London to rural Ireland to live with his Irish boyfriend where they start up a gay friendly guesthouse and is surprised when it becomes a big success. But it’s the 1980’s, gay men are dropping like flies, and when tragedy strikes he is forced to confront a society that doesn’t acknowledge his existence.

Homosexuality was finally decriminalised in Ireland in June 1993. The thousands of gay people imprisoned, taunted and brutalised by the State finally received an apology on the 25th anniversary of this event.

The Decriminalisation Monologues tells the stories of the ordinary gay people who showed the courage and bravery that ensured that equality finally came.

These stories are drawn from discussions with older gay people in Ireland. Stories that will shock today’s generation. Stories that show how we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ NORTH WEST END

‘It is a true example of theatre that can change the way you think and it will resonate with me for a long, long time. ‘

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

“The Decriminalisation Monologues is a powerful play and a tribute to the courage of those people willing to challenge everyday injustice.”

“Pure, unadulterated fun.”

Identity, colonial wounds, and the bonds that shape us... a raw and unflinching exploration of pain, resilience, and healing.

‘They bite you, beat you, then kill you— you don’t die...it’s death, just a different kind’ - Fragments

Weaving together realism, spoken word poetry, music, and physical theatre, Fragments takes you on a journey through the eyes of Ifemelu, a Black African woman who courageously reflects on the legacy of colonialism, the scars of gender-based violence, and the haunting echoes of generational trauma.

Her journey is deeply personal and universally relatable, offering moments of laughter, discomfort, and profound human connection.

The play, written by Nigerian poet and storyteller Pearl Ada and directed by Dominican-American director Catherine Mieses, features an all-global majority creative team. Poet and composer Tamiko Dooley serves as a creative collaborator. Pearl Ada stars as Ifemelu and Haitian-American actor Cedric Dumornay as Òtíḿkpú.

In this one woman play, Tillie navigates the pressures of being a young person in a world where people constantly question her Big Dream. She challenges what the perfect order really means and makes people question how their childhood perception can be artificially coloured. This play teaches that art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. She tells a story through music and the power of the imagination.

As seen at the Edinburgh Fringe drawing from experiences of working in mental health, prepare for a night of humour and heart in Your Therapist Is Clueless. Weaving together hilarious anecdotes, poignant stories, and unexpected moments of insight from the everyday absurdities to the profound connections formed with clients and colleagues, this show offers a unique perspective on the highs and lows of working in a mental health drop in service. Prepare to laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear as we navigate through the world of mental health with wit, warmth, and an unwavering sense of humanity.

“Pure, unadulterated fun.”

The poetry show I WOULD DREAM is dedicated to a man named Moon. This performance consists both of new and old verses, published and yet unpublished.

I wish that in the end, maybe you will leave with a tear in the corner of your eye because what we share, is our loneliness in life.
