Theatre announces new productions for Spring 2025
The Rep has announced details of additional productions focused on new dramas, dance and in-depth conversation to join its Spring 2025 programming of comedy, new drama, thrills and world class performances.
The Intrusion – a new and dynamic collaboration between international Lecoq-trained Bric à Brac and The Rep’s long-time collaborator, Told by an Idiot will be featuring in The Door performance space on Wednesday 19 and Thursday 20 March.
Inspired by Kafka, The Intrusion is a highly theatrical fable which fuses elements of the real and the fantastic, the documentary and the dream.
Through original music, creative captioning, humour and sharp satire, this darkly comic production explores the end of human civilisation and questions who gets to survive.
Additionally in March, pioneer of arts broadcasting and an icon of Britain's cultural scene, Dame Joan Bakewell (pictured) will be reflecting on her career so far on The Rep’s main stage on Wednesday 5 March for An Evening with Joan Bakewell.

Expect anecdotes from his mischievous escapades in Don’t Wait Up, West End triumphs like Art, and even Palladium pantos.
Phoenix Dance Theatre, the UK’s longest-standing contemporary dance company outside of London, will be bringing Inside Giovanni’s Room, a captivating full-length dance piece inspired by one of the most influential novels of the 20th century, James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room to The Rep for one performance only (Wednesday 28 May).
