2025-06-30 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Sackville Theatre, The Space, Sevenoaks School, High Street, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
When Shakespeare died, he famously left his wife Anne only one thing – the second best bed. This superb one-woman play, full of both humour and pathos, has received great critical acclaim since its premier at the Swan Theatre Worcester in 2012.
Liz Grand stars as Anne Hathaway on the night of Shakespeare’s funeral. The wake has finished, the mourners have all gone home, leaving Anne to remember her life with the most talented playwright the world has ever seen.
Or was he? Did he write the plays? His widow would know if anybody did. Wouldn’t she? She would!

Jonathan Freedland: The Traitors Circle
2025-09-30 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Sackville Theatre, The Space, Sevenoaks School, High Street, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
Award-winning author, journalist, and host of both BBC Radio 4’s The Long View series and the Guardian’s Politics Weekly America podcast, Jonathan Freedland has won the Orwell Prize for Journalism and the Somerset Maugham Award for Non-Fiction.
The Traitors Circle tells the true but scarcely known story of a group of secret rebels against Hitler. Drawn from Berlin high society, they include senior army officers, top government officials, two countesses, an ambassador’s widow, a young heiress and a former model – all of them meeting in the shadows, whether hiding and rescuing Jews or plotting for a Germany freed from Nazi rule. One day in September 1943 they gather for a tea party – unaware that one among them will betray the rest to the Gestapo. Pursued to near destruction by a cruel, calculating detective, theirs is a story of rare heroism, sacrifice and inspiring endurance.
An insightful and authoritative voice on modern history, Jonathan sheds light on one of the most dramatic episodes of WWII, telling a story with deep moral resonance for our own time in his book, The Traitors Circle, a true story of rebellion against the Nazis.

Tosca
2025-10-05 14:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London) | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
In war-torn Rome, Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police. At the mercy of Scarpia’s twisted desires, Tosca is forced to make a horrific bargain: sleeping with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Can she find a way out?
A star-studded cast includes soprano Anna Netrebko performing the role of Tosca, tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Scarpia, with Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducting his first new production in the role. An alternative, modern-day Rome provides the backdrop for Oliver Mears’ unmissable, gripping new production of Puccini’s thriller.

La Sonnambula
2025-10-21 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind.
Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works.
