Tune in for all the details on these must-see summer shows!

My Life as a Cowboy

A a heart-warming, queer comedy by Bruntwood Prize-longlisted playwright Hugo Timbrell. Directed by Scott Le Crass, this coming-of-age story follows three Croydon teens as they discover friendship, courage, and country-western dancing in a delightful romp that embraces the beauty of being true to oneself. Hailed as a ‘complete comic delight’ by Boyz magazine, this all-singing, all-dancing tale is the feel-good show you need this summer at the Omnibus Theatre.

The Comedy of Errors

Set in a bustling Elizabethan dock, this riotous Shakespearean comedy returns with all the slapstick silliness and boisterous energy you’d expect. Co-directed by Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes and Resident Associate Director Naeem Hayat, this production is sure to transport you back to a time of mistaken identities and wild adventures.

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare

Next, prepare yourself for a drunken twist on a classic with this uproarious rendition of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With a cast that mixes Bard-inspired brilliance and alcohol-induced antics, this chaotic comedy will have you laughing all the way through. Expect drunken donkeys, fandangled fairies, and more!

State Ballet of Georgia

We also take a step into the world of ballet with the acclaimed State Ballet of Georgia, making a historic visit to London with a full-length production of Swan Lake. Led by the legendary Nina Ananiashvili, this production promises a spectacular display of grace and beauty, accompanied by the English National Opera Orchestra. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Georgia's finest dancers perform this timeless classic.

Interview with Asi Wind

And finally, we sit down with magician Asi Wind as he makes his UK debut in London’s West End this Autumn. We chat about his highly anticipated new show, Incredibly Human, which opens at the Underbelly Boulevard, Soho. Known for his jaw-dropping feats of magic and mind-reading, Asi gives us an inside look into what makes his performances so uniquely captivating.
