Set in small-town America, LaBute’s darkly comic play considers the power of the truth, ill-considered choices, and people's capacity for cruelty.
With an outstanding cast including Gemma Atkinson (Calender Girls, West End and National Tour, recent release 13Hrs and Hollyoaks), Okezie Morro (Ruined, Almeida and Innocence, The Arcola) and Tom Greaves (Henry V, Southwark Playhouse)

'This drama gets right under your skin, proving as addictive as it is troubling.’ (Telegraph, Donmar Warehouse production, 2005)

'LaBute...the best new playwright to emerge in the past decade...a genius.' (The New Yorker)

The Barber of Seville has been transported to Jane Austen’s England, a world of rich, eligible bachelors, feisty heroines and snobbish relations familiar from much-loved BBC costume dramas. Obsequious Doctor Bartleby has designs on his ward Rosina, but she is far more interested in the attentions of a handsome stranger (actually a womanising Count in disguise). The whole affair is stage-managed by Figaro, the barber who knows everyone’s business and can fix your hair and love life with ease.
