The final two plays in the season will be Octagon, Kristiana Colón's follow-up to 2012 Arcola sell-out bt i cd only whisper, and Rebecca Lenkiewicz's Jane Wenham: the Witch of Walkern, coming to London following a tour.

They will run from 16 September to 17 October 2015 and 5-30 January 2016 respectively.
