Cass is a boy who finds real life tricky. Luckily, he can take refuge in his imagination – a place where stories burst out effortlessly, and he can be whoever he wants. Inspired by tales from Shakespeare, read to him by his Gran, Cass and his band of imaginary friends have fought with kings, flown with witches, faced shipwrecks, ghosts and monsters, and dived into adventures of every kind. But something is going wrong. The stories have stopped making sense, the adventures aren't adventurous, and a strange darkness is creeping in. Finding himself lost in a Shakespearean Shadow Land, Cass must work out if he's in a tragedy like Hamlet, a Comedy of his own Errors, or another world altogether?  Wherever he is, escaping is going to be a whole other story… Bring all the family together for this funny, moving, and gloriously inventive celebration of storytelling, and revel in the worlds waiting to be told.

The Importance of Being Oscar is Micheal MacLiammoir's magnificent tribute to the genius of Oscar Wilde. Material ranges from Dorian Gray to De Profundis, from The Importance of Being Earnest to Reading Gaol. But it is by the addition of a commentary - cunningly disguised as comedy - that Oscar weaves a tapestry, which, as it unfolds upon the stage, reaffirms Wilde as a master of English letters and the greatest wit of his generation.

David and Linda are married. Linda sees to the house. David sees to business. Business being Claudia, an aspiring actress who'll do anything, and anyone, to get what she wants. London, the sixties. In hotel rooms, nightclubs and film studios, a world of millionaires, models and Hollywood directors play out their desires. Careers. Parties. Sex. Power. The set: dollshouses. The performers: dolls. This is Malm? Stadsteater's lustful, farcical and outrageous production, translated from Swedish by Lulu Raczka.
