Welcome to Howick Little Theatre’s 2027 season.

There are five great productions that span eras and genres, taking us from a 1938 press room to a snowbound English manor. And five directors who all bring their own vision to each one.

We kick off with Screwball Comedy by Norm Foster, a fast-talking tribute to the golden age of Hollywood in which two rival reporters compete for the same story and rather more besides.

Next is Simon Stephens' five-Tony Award-winning adaptation of Mark Haddon's beloved novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. We follow fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone, whose investigation into the death of a neighbour's dog leads somewhere no one expected.

Third is Agatha Christie's genre-defining The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in theatrical history. Whodunnit all this time? You'll have to come along and see for yourself and be sworn to secrecy.

For Better by Eric Coble is a love story conducted almost entirely through screens, phone calls, and an assortment of digital devices. It's a wonderfully reflective comedy about human connection, or the lack of it.

And to close the year is Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías, where two neighbouring couples discover a disputed fence line has far more to say about the people than property.

It's going to be a very exciting year indeed.

As always, a Showcard Subscription remains the best-value way to enjoy theatre all year round. You can tailor your subscription to include three, four, or all five productions. The more you see, the more you save on your ticket prices, as well as enjoying earlybird bookings, priority seating, and a range of other benefits.

We look forward to seeing you at the theatre in 2027.
