We're thrilled to tell you about more new shows heading our way in 2026, including our first SJT production of the year - Murder for Two, a gloriously silly, devilishly clever and fantastically funny award-winning Broadway show - and some brilliant touring shows.

• Murder for Two - 28 March - 18 April

When famous novelist Arthur Whitney is found dead at his birthday party, it’s time to call in the detectives. The only problem is, they’re out of town...

• The Em Show: Tales from a Little Laughing Lesbian - 13 February

Tales from a Little Laughing Lesbian is an electrifying one woman show packed with stand-up, improv and clowning, all delivered through Em’s signature energy and joy. From therapy to parenting, marriage to motorbikes, no topic is off-limits in this hilarious journey of self-discovery.

• Martin Carthy - 21 February

National treasure Martin Carthy is a legendary ballad singer and guitarist who's influenced generations of artists, including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.

In recognition of his illustrious career Martin has recently been shortlisted for the 2025 Mercury Price for his wonderful new solo record Transform Me Then Into A Fish. This album both marks his 84th birthday in May 2025, and offers a full circle moment in his music journey as he revisits material from his very first (eponymous) solo record released in 1965.

Martin will be joined by a very special guest who'll be announced soon.

• Night and Day: Sam Jewison Sings Cole Porter - 7 March

“Renaissance Man in a Jazz World” Sam Jewison returns with his sell-out solo EFG London Jazz Festival show celebrating a titan of Broadway and Hollywood’s golden age, Cole Porter.

Appearing fresh from New York’s Lincoln Center, the singer and pianist casts his acclaimed interpretation over evergreen songs that have come to define the Great American Songbook. “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “Night and Day”, “I Concentrate on You” and “Just One of Those Things” feature alongside other reimagined highlights from Porter’s trailblazing musicals, including “High Society”, “Anything Goes” and “Kiss Me, Kate”.

• Ragged Trouser Philanthropists - 16 April

A one person Magic Lantern show of the classic book The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists from Townsend Productions.

This enduring, absorbing classic story of a year in the life of a group of Edwardian painters and decorators is brought to life by Neil Gore using his extensive knowledge of the book and the play.
