Mark Jagasia's comic play Clarion will return to the Arcola Theatre later this year replete with its original cast.

It will return between 20 October and 14 November 2015, with 500 tickets available at £10.

The new Arcola season also features the premiere of Patrick Marmion's new comedy The Divided Laing (25 November-19 December), marking the 50th anniversary of R.D. Laing's Philadelphia Association.

There will be a Howard Barker double bill – The Twelfth Battle of Isonzo and Judith: A Parting From The Body running from 5 to 30 January 2016.

And the London premiere of Rebecca Lenkiewicz's new play Jane Wenham: The Witch of Walkern, directed by Ria Parry, will run from 6 to 30 January 2016.
