Spring 2026 will see three critically acclaimed productions touring Southeast England, supported by the house theatre network, a Farnham Maltings initiative backed by Arts Council England.
The season promises daring storytelling, electrifying tricks, and family-friendly performances across 34 theatres in the region. House enables independent artists to stage work at small and mid-scale venues, giving local audiences access to bold and diverse theatre.
Peter Glanville, Chief Executive Officer of Farnham Maltings, said:
“We are really proud of this carefully curated season of work and to be bringing more renowned theatre work to regional venues and audiences of all ages through the house southeast theatre network. By supporting theatres and art centres to programme some of the best UK theatre, house works to build audiences and strengthen appetite across the region for this vitally important and intimate artform.”
The season opens with award-winning artist Katie Greenall’s Edinburgh Fringe hit BLUBBER. This heartfelt production follows Katie’s journey of self-discovery through synchronised swimming, bursting with beautiful storytelling and water-splashing moments.
For families, Counting Sheeps offers a sensory adventure for babies and toddlers. Following two sheep on a musical journey, this immersive show is soothing and playfully engaging for little ones and adults alike.
Completing the season is Rollercoaster, an ultramodern pop-punk juggling spectacular from Wes Peden and Gandini Juggling. Performed among giant inflatable structures and powered by electro beats inspired by rollercoaster sounds, this high-impact show promises thrills and cutting-edge tricks.
Harriet Bolwell, Senior Producer for house, commented:
“This spring, the house touring season really does have something for everyone. Award-winning artist Katie Greenall is taking their beautiful theatre piece BLUBBER on the road, with a performance that is both powerful and vulnerable. For our smaller audiences, nationally acclaimed Hull-based theatre company The Herd bring their delightful sleepy sheepy immersive theatre show Counting Sheeps to 20 venues across the South East. Finally, Rollercoaster from Gandini Juggling and Wes Peden brings out the wow factor, using pop-punk juggling, inspired by its maker’s fascination with rollercoasters.”
