Sherlock Holmes: The Last Act (15 February): Drawn from two years of Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend Dr Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve the ‘last act’ of his epic career.

A theatrical evening unfolds, with 14 characters all played by Nigel Miles-Thomas in a tour-de-force performance written by Conan Doyle expert, David Stuart Davies.

Oasiz (22 February): Oasiz are one of the UK’s most authentic Oasis tribute bands. In 2023 a clip of Oasiz frontman Steve performing went viral, racking up over 10 million views with fans convinced the clip was Liam Gallagher himself. The story was covered in the national press including an appearance on national TV.

Lady Maisery and O'Hooley & Tidow (28 February): Two of the English folk scene’s best, power trio Lady Maisery and songwriters/singers O’Hooley & Tidow join forces again for the first time since their much-loved collaboration as supergroup Coven, with songs of celebration, solidarity, peace, unity, a healthy dose of rage and heaps of love.

Combining the vocal and multi-instrumental talents of Rowan Rheingans, Hazel Askew and Hannah James, Lady Maisery has enraptured audiences throughout the UK and Europe. Yorkshire duo Belinda O’Hooley and Heidi Tidow penned the theme to Sally Wainwright’s hit BBC1/HBO drama Gentleman Jack.

Velma Celli: God Save the Queens (13 March): Award-winning international cabaret superstar Velma Celli in an evening of music, comedy and fabulous entertainment in a tribute to the best UK music icons: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Annie Lennox, Florence Welch, Leona Lewis, The Spice Girls and more.

Known as ‘the UK’s queen of live vocal drag’, Velma has charmed audiences across the globe for the past 13 years. Velma is the alter ego of West End star Ian Stroughair who’s appeared in hit musicals Cats, Fame, Chicago and Rent.

The Detective Dog (11 April): Tiny & Tall Productions brings Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie's well-loved story to the stage for Deaf and hearing family audiences. Whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nell’s ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at school disappear one morning, Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!

With British Sign Language, creative captions and spoken English, this engaging production celebrates books and the magic of reading in an inclusive and accessible performance. Expect captivating puppetry, surprising smells and toe-tapping music.

Dracula (1 - 3 May): It’s 1897, and mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. But a shadow looms over England, and a small group of young men and women, led by Professor Van Helsing, are plunged into an epic struggle for survival.

Adapted by our very own Nick Lane (writer of The Comedy of Errors (more or less) and our Christmas shows), this brilliant treatment of Bram Stoker’s adventure blends Victorian Gothic with the contemporary, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark style.

Booking opens for SJT Circle members from 10am on Wednesday 28 August, and general booking opens at 10am on Wednesday 4 September. You can book online, by popping into the Box Office, or by calling 01723 370 541.
