The inventive and creative Holes (Wed 26 – Sat 29 Feb 2020) and the Olivier award-winning A Monster Calls (Wed 6 – Sat 9 May 2020) will see drama take centre stage and audiences can enjoy some comedic relief with Alan Ayckbourn’s hilarious Ten Times Table (Mon 4 – Sat 9 Nov), Fascinating Aida (Sun 23 Feb 2020), Stewart Lee (Fri 27 – Sat 28 Mar 2020) and Some Mother’s Do ‘Ave ‘Em (Tue 12 – Sat 16 May 2020).
