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.

A small-time crook with big boss ambitions. While the Great Depression inflicts hardship across the nation, Chicago's underworld festers with sex, scandal, violence and corruption. It's the perfect storm for a schemer like Ui, his reputation as hot as hell. Feeding on fear, Ui and his ruthless cronies make back-alley deals to protect the workers. So far, so bad. But his helpless targets watch on as Ui's influence gains dangerous momentum and his venom threatens to seep through the markets, politics and the law to seize the city – and beyond. This is a man on a mission for power. Will anyone stop him? The simmering streets of Chicago come to the Swan Theatre for Seán Linnen's RSC directorial debut. Double Olivier Award-winner Mark Gatiss debuts as the Notorious Arturo Ui, in Stephen Sharkey's translation of Brecht's riotous 1941 ‘gangster spectacle', a blistering satire on Hitler's ascent to power with new music composed by Placebo.
