    Join us for a special one-night fundraising event in support of Learning to Human, Sims Holland’s award-winning solo show as it prepares for its Edinburgh Festival debut. Winner of Best of Frontera Fest 2024 and nominated for a B. Iden Payne Award, this raw, funny and deeply human show explores addiction, recovery, and the messy process of starting again.

    The evening includes a full performance along with pre- and post-show drinks, light bites, merchandise, Q & A with the artist and a raffle. All proceeds go directly toward bringing the show to the Edinburgh Fringe—the world’s largest arts festival.

    Wakey Wakey

    May 14 – June 13, 2026

    by Will Eno

    Hyde Park Theatre season show. A revival of our funny, devastating 2018 production of this beautiful play. Ken Webster reprises his “warm, witty, charming” performance as a man coming to terms with what one small life can mean. Rebecca Robinson also reprises her original role.

    Reviews for that production were off the scale: "A riveting tour de force performance . . . One of the most moving experiences I have had in a theatre." “Captivating, superbly funny.” "One of the most deceptively powerful plays of the year.”

    If you missed it in 2018, this is your chance to see “an outright celebration of what it means to live a worthwhile life.” And if you saw it, you’ll want to come again.

    Danny Malone

    May 17–19, 2026

    with Charlie Roadman

    Last year, Danny Malone wrote 60 songs in just three weeks. When have you ever heard of an artist doing something like that? How is that even possible? 

    This wave of artistic inspiration happened in Mexico, where Danny had secretly travelled to seek a personal rebirth. He describes the experience as “a long battle between my ego and my spirit—and the spirit finally started to win again.” He’ll tell you “some of the songs are not good.” Ha ha. But they are. More than that—they’re remarkable. Beautiful, intimate, and full of hope.

    His new album, Into the Flowers, arrives this summer—and it’s something special.

    This May, Danny returns to Hyde Park Theatre for three nights. Music starts promptly at 7pm, with special guest Charlie Roadman.

    written and performed by Robin Chotzinoff

    Hyde Park Theatre season show: Dear Dickies, a love/business letter to Dickies workwear.
