We've got relationship dramas, break-up comedies, thrillers, examinations of historical figures & good ol' fashioned boozers. You won't want to miss out.

GOD IS A WOMAN THE MUSICAL: 5 - 9 January

Imagine if the Bible had been translated by women. This one-woman show from British BAFTA Breakthrough comedian Luisa Omielan is a pitch for a musical - think a Female Book of Mormon, before it got funded or found a producer. This time, it’s all about Mary Magdalene. Let’s rewrite Herstory. 

DIANA: THE UNTOLD AND UNTRUE STORY: 19 - 31 January

A loving celebration of Ar Di that is as hilarious as it is ridiculous. 

Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and queer joy, this unique celebration of the people’s princess has won multiple awards and sold out venues across the world.

From Awkward Prods; the duo behind Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella and The Fit Prince. Returning to King's Head Theatre to mark the incredible 5th anniversary of Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story. 

STAND UP IF YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT: 3 - 21 February

The London premiere of the universally beloved new play by Olivier-nominated playwright John Kolvenbach. Broadway legend Jim Ortlieb delivers a tour-de-force performance as a man who tries to find a meaningful relationship with the audience.  He's driven to further and wilder extremes, creating a theatrical experience unlike anything you've seen before. 

The Boston Globe says, "I felt the exhilaration of a writer taking a big swing and delivering," and the Scotland Herald calls it, "Profound! Meticulously crafted; a near Beckettian tragicomic meditation on life, love and loss." 

FURNITURE BOYS: 25 - 27 February

Emily Weitzman’s surreal solo comedy turns boyfriends into futons, and breakups into broken chairs.

Hailed as “ingenious,” “shimmeringly silly,” and “ridiculous and revelatory” (The Guardian ★★★★) and recommended by The New York Times, Furniture Boys is a surreal and surprising solo comedy about impermanence, breakups, and broken chairs. What really lasts: a relationship, a memory, a sofa-bed? 

This surprising meditation on impermanence comes to London after sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and at Off-Broadway’s SoHo Playhouse. 

FAULT: 3 - 28 March

Jay is playing the best tennis of his life. History is within reach. One final push and he could become the first openly gay man in the world's top ten. He's worked for this. Sacrificed for this. Lied for this.

And someone knows.

Kostas was once his best friend. Now he's standing in Jay's way, holding a secret that could end his career overnight… and he wants something in return for his silence. With a career-defining match approaching, Jay must decide what matters more. The game he's dedicated his life to, or the person he wants the world to believe he is.

Fault is a razor-sharp thriller about ambition, match-fixing and the lies we tell to survive. In a world obsessed with winners, how much can you lose before victory means nothing?

THINKING DRINKERS' GREAT BRITISH PUB RIDE: 9 - 21 March

Fancy five drinks? Good. Because the Thinking Drinkers are back with a totally new tasting show.

The world's most entertaining drinks experts return with a poignant, pedal-powered tale of their epic, emotional thousand-mile tandem bike ride from Land's End to John o'Groats – during which they only stopped, ate, drank, slept (and applied soothing botty cream) in beautiful yet beleaguered British boozers.

Incredibly funny, immensely fascinating and featuring five drinks for all, this uplifting, amusing, elbow-bending odyssey is the ideal aperitif to any evening.

FOR DOLORES: 31 March - 17 April

Olivier Award-winning Fishamble presents the smash-hit, award-winning For Dolores by Eva O’Connor. Completely sold out at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Galway International Arts Festival, it has taken audiences and critics by storm. 

Mo (the Scottish one) and Réaltín (the Irish one) partied, played and blazed their way through the student dream in this ‘remarkable…brilliant…hilarious’ (Irish Times) play. A couple of years later, they meet to navigate what Réaltín calls the messy landscape of their lives, which Mo thinks sounds very dramatic! 

For Dolores is ‘a remarkable piece of theatre’ (Broadway World) and ‘a whip-smart production’ (Scotsman) about friendship, motherhood and coming to terms with your worst mistakes. How far will they go for love in this ‘gloriously dysfunctional thrill ride’ (Herald). 

SAVING ALAN TURING: 22 April - 30 May

Marking the 75th anniversary of Alan Turing’s conviction for gross indecency, Saving Alan Turing tells the story of the final two years of his life, during which he undergoes psychotherapy with Jungian analyst Dr Franz Greenbaum.
 
Both men are deeply haunted by their pasts. Greenbaum fled Nazi Germany with his family, while Turing carries the burden of secrets from his wartime work at Bletchley Park, which he is forbidden by law to discuss, even with his own therapist. But what begins as therapy develops into an unlikely friendship, as two formidable intellects engage in a game of cat and mouse, challenging each other’s assumptions and gradually revealing more than either intended.

Following the critically acclaimed, smash-hit successes of The Gang of Three and In the Print, Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky return to the King’s Head Theatre next spring with the world premiere of their new play, a story about friendship, secrecy, the search for happiness and the almost irresistible human desire to uncover the truth.

We can't wait to welcome you to see these incredible shows!
