★★★★★ "A fearless masterpiece" - Theatre Weekly
Fringe Theatre Award nominated for Best Lead Performance & Best Director
Ten years ago something terrible happened to Presley and Haley. Since then they've lived alone in their dead parents’ house, doors bolted against the terrors of the world. But, one night, Presley sees a beautiful stranger on the street outside. And while his sister sleeps… he invites in their worst nightmare.
Darkly comic and deeply unsettling, Philip Ridley’s first ever play played a revolutionary role in changing the face of British theatre. Its exploration of ‘a climate of fear’, living in ‘alternate worlds’, and persistent thrum of sexual anxiety has continued to act as a tuning fork for the zeitgeist.
Fresh from two sell-out, ★★★★★ runs at Park Theatre, including Leaves of Glass - which broke Park90’s box office records - Lidless Theatre continues to champion Ridley’s groundbreaking storytelling on stage.
*Strictly limited to 10 tickets per show. If discount is unavailable, the allocation for that performance has run out.
Step into the Creative Team’s shoes.
Over the course of the week, you’ll work closely with a professional Director, Choreographer and Musical Director to discover how a musical is brought from page to stage.
You’ll begin by exploring how a director analyses and interprets a script, before stepping into workshops led by a Musical Director and Choreographer to see how those early ideas evolve in the rehearsal room.
The week culminates in presenting your ideas to your course leader and peers. Whether you’re a future director, choreographer, designer or dramaturg, this course is your opportunity to build creative confidence, develop practical skills, and see how new work comes to life.
For aspiring writers, composers, and anyone curious about creating original musicals.
This workshop is designed for young people interested in writing for musical theatre - whether you’re a lyricist, composer, book writer, or just starting to explore how stories are told through song.
Throughout the course, you’ll work with professional musical theatre writers to gain a deeper understanding of how to craft a compelling narrative and seamlessly integrate book and score.
You’ll begin by developing your own ideas, supported through writing exercises and creative feedback. By the end of the week, you’ll have created original material that could form part of a pitch or treatment to share with directors and producers.
Alongside writing time, you’ll explore the realities of working as a theatre creative - from the structure of the industry to how new musicals are commissioned, produced and developed.
We’re thrilled to be running this course in partnership with Music Theatre International (MTI), supporting the next generation of musical theatre creators.

The Donmar LOCAL team are excited to let you know about Pathways - a free week-long work experience programme for young people aged 16–18 who live or go to school in Camden or Westminster.
This opportunity is designed specifically for those interested in the backstage and behind-the-scenes roles that make theatre happen, not acting, but everything else that supports a production. From lighting and sound to producing, fundraising, marketing and participation, students will gain first-hand insight into the range of careers available.
With a national skills shortage across backstage and production roles, there is real demand for new talent and many of these careers are well-paid and sustainable. This week offers an accessible and practical entry point into the sector.
We’re also hosting a Pathways Information Evening on Thursday 25 September, where those interested in applying can meet the team, ask questions, and learn more about what the programme involves.
