"After years in practice seeing through a doctors' eyes, I find myself on a crash-course as the patient. The view isn't quite so attractive from this side, you'll be surprised to know." For GP, Dr Jeffrey Longford, a cancer diagnosis propels him into a new life on the other side of the stethoscope. The world he held true undergoes brutal challenge as he transitions from high status, knowledgeable practitioner to vulnerable, dependant and at times, terrified patient. Losing his title in exchange for a patient label and querying the professions' steadfast view on assisted dying are just two of a glut of issues which throw Dr Longfords' long-standing belief system into sharp relief.

Caroline dreams of something more than stacking shelves at the local greengrocers. Her days are routine, but her nights come alive, walking the pier, sharing laughs with her best friend Mary, and spinning records with Robbie, her music-mad boyfriend who's big on charm but short on direction. But a music revolution is coming, and Robbie lands a shock gig with Radio Caroline – the pirate radio station blasting pop, soul and rock 'n' roll from a ship off the Essex coast – and suddenly everything changes. Caroline is swept into a tidal wave of music, mayhem and a movement that would shake up British culture forever. She's not a DJ. She's not a rock star. But in the middle of Britain's radio revolution, Caroline might just steal the show. Set to a soundtrack of iconic hits from the 60's, Caroline: A New Musical is a vibrant, heart-warming and rebellious new musical about love, ambition and discovering your own voice.
