Park Theatre has revealed an exhilarating collection of five new productions scheduled for this autumn. This follows the success of the critically acclaimed “The Meat Kings! (Inc.) of Brooklyn Heights” and extended performances of Adam Riches’ “Jimmy.” The Finsbury Park venue is set to feature a rich variety of theatre, ranging from moving dramas to sharp comedies and engaging celebrity insights.
The season opens with Company Three’s “This City” from September 3-6. This powerful piece showcases 11 teenagers sharing their autobiographical tales, delving into themes of community, belonging, and the challenges of growing up in London.
From September 9-20, a compelling double bill will be presented. “(God Save My) Northern Soul,” a dark comedy by Natasha Cottriall, tells the story of a mixed-race teenager from Wigan grappling with love, loss, and self-discovery following her mother’s unexpected passing, all set to an upbeat Northern soul soundtrack. This will be paired with “Vermin,” a dark psychodrama centered on a couple whose dream home becomes infested with rats, revealing the underlying tensions in their relationship.
On October 19, audience members can look forward to “An Afternoon with Mike McCartney, hosted by Adam Hills,” a special fundraising event for Park Theatre. Mike McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney, will regale attendees with humorous anecdotes from his career as a photographer and musical comedian, guided by the charismatic Adam Hills of “The Last Leg.”
In mid-autumn, don’t miss the world premiere of “Kindling,” running from October 22 to November 15. This poignant and humorous play follows five mismatched perimenopausal women as they attempt to scatter a friend’s ashes in a Welsh redwood forest, leading to chaos, revealed secrets, and ultimately, hope.
Rounding out the season is the comedic gem “Jobsworth,” running from November 19 to December 6, by Isley Lynn. The play follows Bea, who secretly juggles three full-time jobs while struggling to make ends meet, offering a humorous take on capitalism and survival.
Tickets for all performances are now available through Park Theatre’s newly launched website, featuring transparent pricing along with an optional donation slider to support this registered charity venue.
