Arthur is a new Bucket Club show written by Marietta Kirkbride and designed by Rebecca Wood. It’s a co-production with Polka Theatre, where it will be the main house summer show in 2026, and The Egg, where it will be the Christmas show the same year.

It’s Winter Solstice 2026. Grace is in A&E with Lego stuck up her nose, waiting for someone to notice her.
