This exciting Christmas show will be jointly directed by myself and Warren Taylor.

The Wisdom of Eve

Dates: 6.10.2009 to 10.10.2009. When we first meet Eve Harrington she is standing in the rain by the stage door of the theatre in which the famous Margo Crane is starring in her latest long-running hit. Humble and sincere, it seems she simply wants the opportunity to meet her idol - but by the end of the play Eve has become the new Margo Crane, and more, as she heads out to Hollywood and international fame. How did she do it? And who, really, was she? The story that became the iconic 1950 film starring Bette Davis is here presented where perhaps it really belongs- on the stage.

The Development of the Art Collection 1830-2007

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. You would expect a hospital 760 years old to have paintings of kings and queens, governors and benefactors. Indeed we do: our oldest is a portrait of King Henry VIII from the school of Holbein. But one hundred and fifty years ago we started to collect art by our patients. The core of the collection was started by two psychiatrists, Dr Eric Guttmann and Dr the Hon Walter Maclay who worked at the Maudsley Hospital in the 1930s. They were clearly influenced by the art of the insane. Guttmann was primarily interested in clinical research. Maclay, a wealthy man, collected for his private enjoyment, and his interest was an extension of his more general cultural pursuits.

Dan Dare and the Birth of Hi-Tech Britain

Dates: 22.5.2008 to 25.10.2009. Dan Dare's rocket fleet roars high over Venus to trounce his arch foe - the power-mad Mekon. Meanwhile, back on Earth, another extraordinary future is unfolding - one which laid the foundation for Britain's hi-tech consumer society. After 1945, though war-weary and broke, Britain found huge pride in wartime advances such as radar, penicillin and the jet engine. Discoveries like these were now tipped to kick-start world-beating industries, bring prosperity and bankroll the emerging welfare state. In an age before globalisation, products from rockets to radios sprang from local roots. Together they reveal a fascinating 'lost world' of British design and invention - a glimpse of a time when the TV in the corner was a Murphy, not a Sony.

Exploring Interiors: Decoration of the Home 1900-1960

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. Exploring Interiors asks what our living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens were like in the first half of the twentieth century, and why. The displays show fabrics and wallpapers, from expensive designs in the most up-to-date styles to cheaper, popular patterns for the mass market. They offer a taste of the sort of choices that were available at the time. Catalogues give a glimpse of the fixtures and fittings, the furniture and furnishings that could be bought in the shops. Advertisements and magazines highlight the newest household equipment and reveal changing attitudes to the home and domestic life. But, at the same time, Exploring Interiors uses the evocative evidence of photographs and personal commentary to find out what people's homes were really like. And, more often than not, they were very different from the impression given by advertisements, catalogues and magazines.

Freeze Frame

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. To coincide with International Polar Year, the National Maritime Museum displays some of the earliest photographs of the Arctic, its landscape and people, in a new temporary exhibition in the Queen's House. Freeze Frame will showcase a selection of prints taken from the Museum's world-class historic photographs collection. The exhibition will look at two expeditions to the Arctic under Captain Edward Inglefield in 1854, and Captain George Nares in 1875-76. Both expeditions used photographic processes that were in their infancy, having been announced to the public only a few years before. Both processes involved a significant amount of bulky equipment and chemicals in order to develop the negatives. However, the technique used by Nares had a shorter exposure time allowing more photographs of the expedition activities to be recorded.

Charles Sims (1873 -1928)

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. Charles Sims reputation as a painter was established with his first one-man show at the Leicester Galleries in 1906. He became best known for lyrical open-air scenes. In 1918 he was sent to France as an official artist. He became gradually more reserved and aloof, and appeared to be a very lonely and pathetic figure. He was Keeper of the Academy Schools from 1920 to 1926, and earned much of his living by portrait painting during this period. In the last two years of his life he worked on a series which he called Spirituals or Spiritual Ideas. He killed himself shortly before six of these paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1928.

The Pillowman

Dates: 22.9.2009 to 26.9.2009. Once upon a time there was a show so revolting and yet so human and so funny that a portion of the audience felt compelled to leave at intermission while the rest stayed totally rapt in the events and tales illustrated before them. Martin McDonagh's searing play tells the story of Katurian, a writer in a totalitarian state who is being interrogated over a spate of child murders which appear to have striking similarities to some of his gruesome short stories. With Katurian's brother imprisoned in the next cell, his interrogators will stop at nothing to get the answers they want. Moving between the forbidding interrogation cell and the Grimm-like world of Katurian's grisly stories, this blackest of black comedies explores family secrets, murder, repression and the ultimate power of storytelling. At once viciously funny and deeply disturbing, The Pillowman mixes fairytale allegory and brutal realism to create a dark, haunting tale that is not for the faint-hearted or the easily offended. The original Royal National Theatre production received the 2004 Olivier Award and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best New Play. I was captured by this play the very first time I read it, and am really excited to be bringing it to Prompt Corner, which will provide a perfect, intimate setting for this intense piece. Originally part of the 2008 season, due to rights issues I have had an extra year to develop my ideas and am now raring to make this a very special production.

Dental Art

Dates: 1.1.2009 to 31.12.2009. For centuries, the activities of dentists and the symptoms of tooth disease have been used as themes in works of art, drawings, cartoons, paintings, sculpture and woodcarvings. These images are a valuable source of information about providers of dental care and different treatments for toothache. The museum has an extensive collection of fine art depicting dentistry. Dentistry has long been a subject for humour in cartoon-art. The golden age of political and social caricature and satire was between 1780 and 1830 when three artists were active There follows a set of three English engravings, which date from the beginning of the 19th century, showing three options available when a tooth extraction was required. Finally we see a barber-surgeon at work in the 17th century in the Netherlands.

Disguised as a boy she leaves with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone, to seek out her father in the Forest of Arden. Here she meets Orlando again and, under the guise of a young man, counsels him in the art of love and wooing.

They had fourteen top forty singles in the UK and released seven studio albums, one of which reached number one in the charts. During their ten year career, Carter USM - as they became known - played nearly 800 live gigs all over the world.

A Higher Ambition

Dates: 28.3.2009 to 22.11.2009. The V&A presents 'A Higher Ambition: Owen Jones.' This display traces Owen Jones's unique contributions to Victorian design reform; from his early studies of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra Palace, through to his designs for the 1851 Great Exhibition building, the publication of the Grammar of Ornament (one of the most important design sourcebooks of all time) and his influence in the founding of the South Kensington Museum. The V&A holds the world's most comprehensive collection of Owen Jones material, and on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth, this is the first ever monographic display or exhibition to look at the contribution of Owen Jones to architecture, design and colour theory.

Arcadia

Dates: 27.5.2009 to 12.9.2009. Arcadia, Tom Stoppard's 'richest, most ravishing comedy' (NY Times), is a dazzling, witty masterpiece of misunderstanding and quest for knowledge, resonating across centuries. David Leveaux, one of the country's leading directors, whose other recent West End and Broadway work with Tom Stoppard includes The Real Thing and Jumpers, will direct the first major revival of this brilliant play since its premiere at the National Theatre in 1993. April 1809, a stately home in Derbyshire. Thomasina, a gifted pupil, proposes a startling theory, beyond her comprehension. All around her, the adults, including her tutor Septimus, are preoccupied with secret desires, illicit passions and professional rivalries. Two hundred years later, academic adversaries Hannah and Bernard, are piecing together puzzling clues, curiously recalling those events of 1809, in their quest for an increasingly elusive truth. Arcadia features an outstanding company of actors, including Neil Pearson, Dan Stevens, Nancy Carroll, Jessie Cave and Ed Stoppard.
