Heathers – which runs for eight weeks from 9 June – is a musical about a teenage misfit who gets taken under the wings of three beautiful people called the Heathers who aid her dreams of popularity in a bloodthirsty way.

It had a work-in-progress performance in the studio at the same venue last year, and now moves into the main space. It is based on the 1988 cult movie that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

The new production has direction from Andy Fickman, choreography by Gary Lloyd, design by David Shields, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Dan Samson and casting by Will Burton.
