Spring season announced in Southwark Playhouse Little

The new season has been announced in Southwark Playhouse's Little space. The programme includes two world premieres, a revival and the previously announced Upper Cut.

Opening the season from 14 January to 7 February 2015, Juliet Gilkes Romerois' Upper Cut centres on a political rising star who risks her career and reputation in a fight over whether to allow shortlists for black parliamentary candidates.

It's followed by a revival of Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama How I Learned to Drive, about an adolescent girl her relationship with her troubled uncle. Directed by Jack Sain (who recently helped direct Jonah and Otto at the Park Theatre), it runs from 11 February to 14 March 2015.

Theatre Bench then presents the world premiere of These Trees are Made of Blood (18 March-11 April), written by Darren Clark, Amy Draper and Paul Jenkins. Directed by Draper, the play is set in a Buenos Aires cabaret club before, during and after Argentina's Dirty War of the 1970s and 80s.

And rounding off the season is the word premiere of Scarlet (15 April-9 May), written by Sam H Freeman and produced by Theatre Renegade. The play centres on a young woman who wakes up to find that her sexual history has been exposed on the internet, but with no memory of the events or people involved.

Tickets for all of these shows are on sale now.
