October 1943. In a small office on the Avenue Foch in Paris, a Gestapo interrogator is questioning a young woman who has been known by many different names: Babuli, Jeanne-Marie, Nora, Madeleine. As one of the secret agents of Britain's Special Operations Executive – and the first female radio operator to be sent undercover into France – she has evaded capture far longer than most. But now she has been betrayed. As she faces the fate she has dreaded so long, memories crowd in – a beloved father, a thwarted lover, a gruelling journey to war, and an endless longing for her childhood piano. What has led her here? a small and quiet light is based on the life of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914-1944), an extraordinarily courageous woman who paid the ultimate price for her heroic fight against fascism.

The legendary poem Al-Sirah Al-Hilaliyyah (The Epic of Bani Hilal) has been passed down from generation to generation since the 14th century. Once widespread across the Middle East, it is now only performed in Egypt and is at risk of extinction. Khashabi Theatre creators Bashar Murkus and Khulood Basel couldn't find any evidence of a Palestinian version, so they chose to merge the myth with the aesthetics of Palestinian folklore and Arab performance styles. Rejecting European theatrical norms, this exhilarating retelling merges physical theatre with poetry, live music, puppetry and dance. Murkus and Basel's unique theatrical works are informed by extensive research and seek to ask questions of humanity – from within Palestine and beyond.

Georgina is trying to decide whether she wants children or not. The only problem is, she's currently in labour. Twenty-something years old, spiralling, alone, Georgina travels from London to her hometown hospital with the notion of getting her no-nonsense, midwife ex-best friend, Molly, to deliver her baby. Between contractions, Molly and Georgina dive head first into quarter life existential crises. Meanwhile, we take you on a crash course covering 400 years of the history of midwives. From the witch hunts to forceps, this comic yet disturbing story reveals how midwives have been pushed aside for men to show them how it's (not) done. Grounded in Georgina and Molly's rekindled friendship, Baby Steps is a heart-warming, pressure-cooker comedy about the impossible tangle of life-decisions facing young women right now.
