A new play by The Wardrobe Ensemble

Three parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there's no going back… it’s Party Season!

Xander is back in town, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel.

From the multi-award-winning creators of Education, Education, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide, social niceties unravel, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together.

Party Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP!

A Wardrobe Ensemble, Royal & Derngate, Northampton & Lowry Co-Production

Baby Friendly Matinee - Wednesday 13th May at 2.30pm

Parents and carers are warmly invited to enjoy the show with their babies (under 1s), with no pressure to keep them quiet —baby noises, feeding and wriggles are all welcome.

A designated area is available in the auditorium, giving you extra space and flexibility to settle little ones, or move around as needed while you watch this special baby friendly performance.

All babies are admitted free with a paying adult.

Age Recommendation: 12+
