A single day, unfolding both in June 1923 – and in this very moment. Clarissa Dalloway travels across London preparing for her party, while war veteran Septimus Smith struggles with the horrors of his own experience. Their stories unfold side by side; blurring past and present, memory and identity. Fusing drama, live music, film and technical artistry into a fully immersive experience of modern cine-theatre, Mrs Dalloway invites you into Woolf's world to ask – what makes us who we are?

Three centuries. Three moments in time. An epic story of Manchester and Ireland by multi award-winning playwright Rory Mullarkey premieres at the Royal Exchange Theatre, 30 years after an IRA bomb devastated the heart of the city. In 1846, Annie Donovan has a score to settle; in 1996, it looks like any other Saturday morning in Manchester; and in 2026, Jenny moves back to the place where she grew up. This original and moving new play explores private and public histories, grief and love – and the making and re-making of our city.
