a new play by Lucy Kirkwood

One life in the hands of 12 women.

Rural Suffolk in England, 1759. As the country waits for Halley’s comet, a young woman is sentenced to hang for a heinous murder.

When she claims to be pregnant, a jury of 12 matrons are taken from their housework to decide whether she’s telling the truth, or simply trying to escape the noose. With only midwife Lizzy Luke prepared to defend the girl, and a mob baying for blood outside, the matrons wrestle with their new authority, and the devil in their midst.

James Macdonald (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) directs Maxine Peake (The Theory of Everything, Funny Cow) and Ria Zmitrowicz (Three Girls, Mr. Selfridge) in this bold and gripping thriller from Tony Award-nominated writer Lucy Kirkwood (Chimerica, Skins). Broadcast live from the National Theatre in London.

The band’s approach to Floyd’s music is faithful but not reverential and they are proud of the quality and authenticity of the music they produce via adding their own sparkle to it.

With their current tour, ‘The Great Pig in the Sky’, the 8-piece band provide a 2 hours plus set showcasing two of Floyd’s seminal albums: 'Animals' and 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. Crazy Diamond’s current show also includes other classics and fan treats such as ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ and Roger Waters' 'Perfect Sense'.

John Evans of the Royal Shakespeare Company said: “Their ability to recreate the sounds and atmosphere is second to none. One thing is for certain, pigs might not quite fly but you’re in for a great gig (pardon the pun)”.

Beats Board Banter: “Make sure you check them out. You will be impressed.”
