Other highlights include a revival of The Ricochet Project's Edinburgh hit Smoke and Mirrors, an acrobatic examination of happiness described by the Guardian as 'circus with brains'.

Touring productions include Filter and the RSC’s Twelfth Night; Beyond Caring, an examination of zero-hours contracts presented by Alexander Zeldin and Company; ZooNation’s Into the Hoods: Remixed; The Emperor starring Kathryn Hunter in a co-production with the Young Vic and Theatre de Ville; and A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer created and directed by Bryony Kimmings.

The new season will also feature a double bill including Late Night Love, a new production by Eggs Collective, and Gutted, created by Liz Richardson and Tara Robinson.

On the new season, artistic director Walter Meierjohann said: "Following our success in 2015, we look forward to presenting some of the most distinctive companies, directors and writers working in the international arts scene today… I think audiences have a lot to look forward to."
