Hear ye, hear ye: Johnny “Rooster” Byron is in town. Widely heralded as ‘the 21st Century’s best play,’ (Guardian) Jez Butterworth’s legendary classic will explode into The Quay Arts this November. “Rooster” Byron, alongside his loyal sidekick Ginger, appear in this extraordinary lament for a lost England.
On St George’s Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron is a wanted man. The Council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants his dad to take him to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to wreak his revenge and a motley crew of mates wants his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
Age recommendation 15+

After selling out at Ventnor Fringe earlier this year Bob is back!
Charting the life and times of the Island’s greatest MP (citation needed) from his days as a councillor through to his sewage sea swims… and with the odd sausage thrown in!
Musical theatre sensation Ashleigh Mackness and dancing diva Callum Davies join local celebrity Joe Plumb in this side-splittingly funny parody musical.
​
Bob is coming to the Quay for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
This time it is bigger, better and more Isle of Wight than ever before with an all-singing, all-dancing, musical half a sausage spectacular…What could possibly go wrong!
​
​Suitable for ages 18+
One small prick, a spiky bush, a couple of massive balls and desperate search for pussy!
​
After selling out last year, the Island’s filthiest Panto is BACK! Strictly over 18s.
The evil stepmother has put her little prick right up inside Dick… and now he’s cursed for a 100 years to be a limp, lifeless, flop all alone in his tiny turret. This all singing, all dancing camp cabaret adult Pantomime is the perfect Betwixtmas treat!
Callum ‘Dancing Diva’ Davies gives us his Dick again alongside local celebrity Joe Plumb as the Evil Stepmother and the drag sensation Quivers as our Dame! Plus, Fizz Lewis-Marlton joins us as Fairy Big Bells, Amy Birch is Pussy and Reannon Potts is Tinders.
