Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch announces its inaugural season under the stewardship of Co-Creative Directors: Aisling Gallagher, Alex Thorpe and Kate Lovell.
The season of five produced productions includes an Olivier Award-winning 20th-century Classic, the first revival from an Oscar-winning writer, a new musical World Premiere, a 21st-century modern Masterpiece, and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch’s much-loved Christmas pantomime.
Aisling Gallagher, Alex Thorpe and Kate Lovell said: “From August 2024 to February 2025 we explore life-changing adventures across continents and through time. We’re bringing one of the 20th Century’s most celebrated plays back to QTH for the first time in nearly half a century: Bedroom Farce by Alan Ayckbourn. Launching the first revival from one of the UK’s most celebrated female playwrights, The Turn of the Screw adapted by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, and continuing our journey with the National Theatre and the visionary Theatre Nation Partnerships to share political dramedy Handbagged, across England.
We also offer the world premiere of the new family musical, A Place For Me? by Anne Odeke. We’re proud of our award-winning pantos, and this year we are bringing the classic Cinderella to life with original music and songs.
Throughout our first 10 months in post, we have listened to Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch audiences across South Essex, Outer East London and the wider region. Our theatre is at the heart of the community and the storytelling of this season responds to our locality, with productions set in Essex and Havering. We are delivering our audiences beloved classics for a great night out along with an untold story.”
