Park Theatre has announced an exciting lineup of five new productions set to grace its stages this autumn, adding to an already vibrant season that includes the critically acclaimed The Meat Kings! (Inc.) of Brooklyn Heights and extended runs for Adam Riches' Jimmy. The Finsbury Park venue promises a diverse array of theatre, from poignant dramas to sharp comedies and unique celebrity insights.
The season kicks off with Company Three's This City (September 3-6), where 11 teenagers share autobiographical stories exploring themes of community, belonging, and the complexities of growing up in London.
A compelling double bill runs from September 9th to 20th. (God Save My) Northern Soul, a dark comedy by Natasha Cottriall, navigates love, loss, and self-discovery through the eyes of a mixed-race teenager from Wigan after her mother's sudden death, all set to a vibrant Northern soul soundtrack. This is paired with Vermin, a pitch-black psychodramedy about a couple whose dream home is invaded by rats, exposing the rotten foundations of their relationship.
On October 19th, comedy legend Mike McCartney will host "An Afternoon with Mike McCartney, hosted by Adam Hills", a special fundraising event for Park Theatre. The brother of Sir Paul McCartney will share warm, witty anecdotes from his life as a photographer and musical comedian, with The Last Leg's Adam Hills guiding the conversation.
Mid-autumn sees the world premiere of Kindling (October 22nd – November 15th). This poignant yet hilarious play follows five mismatched perimenopausal women attempting to scatter a friend's ashes in a Welsh redwood forest, leading to chaos, unearthed secrets, and ultimately, hope.
Closing the season is the Edinburgh hit comedy Jobsworth (November 19th – December 6th) by Isley Lynn. The play centers on Bea, who secretly juggles three full-time jobs yet still struggles financially, in a riotous commentary on capitalism and survival.
Tickets for all shows are now on sale via Park Theatre's newly launched website, which features transparent pricing and an optional donation slider to support the venue, a registered charity.
