Great Britain

Theatre Royal Haymarket 
26 September

She's a page one whip,
making the headlines,
going out teeth and tits
for the perfect pitch.

She knows the game,
laying down lies and sex
to break a story
and some hapless neck.
 

Great Britain is playing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket 
until 10 January 2015

As You Like It

Southwark Playhouse
25 September 

Where first the snow fell
now there flutters spring,
bursting in flower and song,
falling in floods of green;

a flurry of lovers sigh
beneath the trees,
barely aware that they
are not all as they seem.

 
As You Like It runs at the Southwark Playhouse until 18 October

Once

Phoenix Theatre
6 September

There are boys like this,
silent and strong,
better in song than speech,

better in love than grief,
lugging their hearts along
with them like rocks

and wishing they were light.
Wishing for gentle words
and easy flight

to carry them away
above the sea, but scared
they'll fall onto the rocks beneath.

 
Once is playing at the Phoenix Theatre 
Currently booking until 4 July 2015
