Sanctuary (30 September): A brand-new musical from Red Ladder Theatre Company. When Alland, a young Iranian man, begs to be given sanctuary at St Mary’s church in a northern town, it sparks a mixed reaction with the community. Some call for his protection. Others for his removal. But both sides take justice into their own hands…

Shaparak Khorsandi: Scatterbrain (2 October): Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis in last year's funny and moving memoir, one of Britain's most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups lets you back into her mind (warning: it's cluttered in there). Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.    

Yorkshire Wolds Versatile Brass (12 October): A five-piece versatile brass ensemble, playing everything from classical and jazz to pop and rock! Members of the ensemble have played with some of the top brass bands and orchestras in the UK and all are established soloists in their own right. Individually, they've played all over the world and performed in some of the top venues in the UK, including over 20 Royal Albert Hall performances.

Dom Joly – The Conspiracy Tour (25 October): Join Dom Joly as he provides a hilarious, fascinating, and slightly anarchic guide to the wild and wacky world of conspiracies from around the globe.

SealSkin (6 November): An old selkie tale of the sea. The selkies appear at full moon, peeling away their seal skin, dancing freely in the moonlight. One night a fisherman discovers their secret, and we see the betrayal and consequences that follow. Exploring ideas of belonging, otherness and home, Sealskin combines Tmesis’ trademark playful and highly skilled physicality, puppetry, storytelling, projection and live original music from acoustic duo Me and Deboe. 

The RETRO Rock Show (9 November): The greatest rock songs and power ballads, including songs by Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Def Leppard, Roxette, Berlin, Van Halen, Extreme, AC/DC, Whitesnake and more. Featuring Kerry O’Dowd from BBC’s The Voice UK on lead vocals.

Casting the Runes (12 December): Two stories by MR James performed by Robert Lloyd Parry. James wrote his ghost stories for friends in the years leading up to WWI; they’ve lost none of their power to terrify and amuse. Nunkie Theatre Company returns with two more of his best – Casting the Runes and The Residence at Whitminster – in another thrilling one-man show.

Hammonds Band (5 January): The ever popular Hammonds Brass Band returns to the Stephen Joseph Theatre for a fabulous afternoon of the best of brass music. Under the direction of Morgan Griffiths, Hammonds Band is now one of the country’s finest brass bands, performing in venues across the world. This is a special concert not to be missed.

Tickets for the new touring shows go on sale to SJT Circle Members from 10am on Wednesday 1 May and on general sale from 10am on Wednesday 8 May.

You can become an SJT Circle Member from just £3.33 a month here.
