Missing, Battersea Arts Centre

Missing returns to the Battersea Arts Centre to finally finish its run after it was cut short by the 2015 Grand Hall fire. Physical theatre company Geckon take audiences deep into one woman's psyche.

Lies, Almeida Theatre

You can join the ranks of the super rich in a bold immersive show from world-renowned Belgian theatre company Ontroerend Goed. £¥€$ (LIES) is a devised show that has already won awards around the world.

A Kettle of Fish, Yard Theatre

A Kettle of Fish, Yard Theatre

The autumn season at edgy Hackney Wick institution the Yard Theatre begins with an intriguing one-woman show. Kettle of Fish takes us 30,000 feet into the sky, where our protagonist Lisa is flying to a new country. As a devastating drama unfolds back home, Lisa must reevaluate her life choices. Promising playwright Brad Birch (Tremor) teams up with director Caitlin McLeod to bring this otherwordly world premiere to the Yard stage.

Silk Road (How to Buy Drugs Online) Trafalgar Studios

Silk Road (How to Buy Drugs Online), Trafalgar Studios

We saw Silk Road back in 2014, during a characteristically chaotic Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It stood out back then, and still stands clear in our memory as a fascinating insight into a new age of crime. Black comedy and plenty of research come together in Alex Oates' story of a normal youngster from Newcastle who gets himself and his nan embroiled into the fathomless underworld of the dark web.

Mrs Dalloway, Arcola Theatre

Mrs Dalloway, Arcola Theatre

'Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself' and so begins Virginia Woolf's stream of consciousness, single-day novel and Clarissa Dalloway's preparations for a high society party. Playwright Hal Coase (Callisto: a queer epic) translates the pace and nuance for the stage, combining bold theatrics with Woolf's great Modernist work.

The Improvised Shakespeare Company, Soho Theatre

The Improvised Shakespeare Company, Soho Theatre

Improv is a mainstay of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but you don't have to venture all the way up north to experience the delights of spontaneous, ad-libbed theatre. Chicago's Improvised Shakespeare Company are masters of making it up as they go along. They bring their world class whacky humour and appreciation of the Bard to Soho Theatre this summer.

Losing Venice, Orange Tree Theatre

Losing Venice, Orange Tree Theatre

Back in 1985, Losing Venice was the breakaway hit of the Edinburgh Fringe. Merging fable with the history of the Spanish Golden Age, it revolves around a nation on the cusp of war. Now the long-awaited revival comes to Richmond's Orange Tree Theatre. It gives the next generation of theatre-goers a chance to discover the work of transgender playwright and performer Jo Clifford.
