Inside the rehearsal room | Roy Williams' The Lonely Londoners
"London will do for you for now… And I will do for London."
London, 1956. Newly arrived from Trinidad, Henry ‘Sir Galahad’ Oliver is impatient to start his new life in London. Carrying just pyjamas and a toothbrush, he bursts through Moses Aloetta’s door only to find Moses and his friends already soured on city life. Will the London fog dampen Galahad’s dreams? Or will these Lonely Londoners make a home in a city that sees them as a threat?
In the first stage adaptation of Sam Selvon’s iconic novel about the Windrush Generation, Roy Williams sweeps us back in time to shine a new light on London, friendship, and what we call home. Former Carne Deputy Director Ebenezer Bamgboye directs.

OFFICIAL TRAILER Odyssey: A Heroic Pantomime
"Pull up your Parthenons and let’s get Grecian!"
After his monumental victory at the Trojan War, Odysseus begins the epic journey home to Ithaca and his wife, Penelope. But Poseidon has other plans… So begins this madcap retelling of the greatest story ever told. Join a host of fantastical characters on a mythical, musical (and downright ridiculous) journey as they battle through sirens and a cyclops. Prepare yourself for a boatload of riotous humour – with apologies to Homer!
Charles Court Opera and Jermyn Street Theatre join forces to turn Homer’s epic tale on its head in a bonkers new take on one of the oldest adventures. A legendary part of Christmas in London, Charles Court’s boutique pantos are utterly irresistible and not to be missed.
Recommended age 8+
