In 1988, a Tory politician Robin Hesketh returns to his Cotswold home with his left-wing wife. What begins as light teasing soon escalates into a brutal conflict, shattering the calm of their 30-year marriage.

Hansard is an intimate drama about a troubled marriage set against the backdrop of Section 28, which banned the “promotion” of homosexuality. The play takes place in the Cotswolds, where Tory cabinet member Robin Hesketh and his disillusioned, left-wing wife Diana live. After Robin returns from a TV debate, Diana confronts him over his political views, criticising the Tories' stance on homosexuality. What starts as light teasing quickly turns into a brutal conflict, exploring the emotional disconnect between the characters and the clash of political ideologies.

In the London Blitz of WW2, Alice’s life is turned upside down, and she and her friend Alfred are forced to shelter in a tube station bunker. When Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

 As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward.

The story shifts between the surreal world of Wonderland and the starkness of the bomb shelter. Familiar characters like the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and Queen of Hearts emerge as figments of Alice’s imagination, mirroring the people in the shelter and the emotions Alice wrestles with. Wonderland becomes a metaphorical realm where Alice can confront her fears, grief, and feelings of powerlessness. This world-premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.
