SUMMARY:NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE SCREENING: THE MISANTHROPE STEP SAT 24 OCT 2026
DESCRIPTION:JUMP TO REGISTRATION \nThe Misanthrope by Martin Crimp after Molière directed by Indhu Rubasingham \nAward-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s\nclassic dark comedy. \nTelling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice\, a brilliant novelist\, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her\, the fiercer the backlash becomes.

SUMMARY:STORY - IMPROV FOR ADULTS WINTER 2026 SAT 5:15PM
DESCRIPTION:JUMP TO REGISTRATION \n“The improviser has to be like a man walking backwards. He sees where he has been\, but he pays no attention to the future. His story can take him anywhere\, but he must still ‘balance’ it\, and give it shape\, by remembering incidents that have been shelved and reincorporating them.”” – Keith Johnstone \nImprov that focuses on narrative tries to tell a story that has a complete arc from beginning to end\, a story that elicits not only laughter\, but an emotional response. This course will teach you how to create compelling narratives on stage. We will explore various techniques and formats that bring the audience to the edge of their seats in laughter\, fear\, expectation\, and anticipation. \nThis course is for you if you have completed ‘Don’t Panic’ and you want to focus on how to create a narrative structure on stage with your fellow improvisors. \n \n• Limited participants per class ensuring you get personalised attention from your instructor \n• Over 14 hours of tuition including stage-time in a professional theatre \n• A showcase performance at the Courtyard Playhouse open to your friends and family \nDOWNLOAD CLASS SCHEDULE
