Upcoming Shows

ATC: The Dining Room (20-24 May 2025)

By A.R. Gurney

Directed by Ashley Norman and Aravind Dhakshinamoorthy

A dining room is more than just a space—it’s where families come together, traditions take root, and generations leave their mark. Once a symbol of status and formality in upper-middle-class American homes, it was a place for structured meals, rigid etiquette, and family rituals. But as time passes and social norms evolve, so too does the way we gather, the role of the dining room shifting over time.

A.R. Gurney’s The Dining Room is a poignant and witty exploration of these changes, told through a series of interwoven vignettes. Across time and households, we see moments of laughter, tension, celebration, and quiet reflection unfold at the dining table. Through birthday toasts, family confrontations, whispered secrets, and fading traditions, the play reveals how memory lingers in the rituals and relationships that shape us—how a single room can hold a family’s history. this production brings to life the bittersweet beauty of family memory— one moment at a time.

This is a Studio Nights production – which means that in addition to a great selection of drinks, the bar will feature an American-themed bake sale of snacks and goodies before and after the show as well as during a slightly extended intermission!

Cross-Gartered Players: Yellow (3-5 July , 11-23 Aug 2025)

Twelfth Night meets The Thick of It in a modern-day reimagining of what might have become of Malvolio after his fall from grace. Mal, once a ministerial adviser, now defends fraudsters in a shabby law firm. Rosie, an idealistic young lawyer, offers him a way back to his old life – but in a world where the highest ideals are sustained by the grubbiest actions, what looks like redemption might be a trap.
 
Yellow was first staged in 2022 as part of the Brussels Shakespeare Society Summer Festival. It then went to FEATS in 2023, where it secured Best Actor nominations for Yorgos Filippakis (Mal) and Peter Wilding (Tony), both of whom return to the cast in 2025.
 
And now, in 2025, Yellow is coming to the Edinburgh Fringe! The show will be on at theSpace @ Niddry Street, a lovely venue right in the centre of Edinburgh’s Old Town, from 11 to 23 August.
 
Ahead of our appearance at the Fringe, we are previewing the show for three performances only at the Warehouse Studio Theatre in Brussels. The bar will be open after the show so you can chat with the team about our journey to the Fringe.
