Eric Liddell: The Chariot of Fire
Sunday 8 September 2024, 3:30pm
Set in Paris, during the Olympic Games of 1924, we see the struggles Eric Liddell faces around him in staying true to his principles. When given the chance to become the fastest man in the world, will his convictions buckle? Should he stay true to his beliefs? And can he bring home a medal for King and country?
This production, first toured in the UK in 2012, and has been performed in Canada, Australia, USA and New Zealand. It will tour throughout 2024 to mark the centenary of the Eric Liddell's achievements, with special performances in Paris and the Royal Albert Hall.

Searchlight Theatre presents:
Titanic: The Last Hero and The Last Coward
Sunday 8 September 2024, 6pm
John Harper and Joseph Ismay. Passengers on the Titanic. A church minister and an executive of the White Star Line. One a hero, one a coward. Both have a story to tell. That ill-fated crossing generated many tales of heroism and in amongst them, one or two more questionable endeavours. First-class and third-class passengers seldom came eye to eye, but as the ship slowly sunk and the panic for a lifeboat space began, these two men were cast together in a devastating drama.
"A heartfelt and moving tribute to the heroism of the common man, and that the heart of even the richest men can be opened and brought into the light"
★★★★ - British Theatre Guide
"I can hardly pay the author a higher compliment. My penultimate show at Fringe 2023 was an unexpected gem"
★★★★ - Plays International
Tickets: £12 or £20 for both shows
To book both The Chariot of Fire and Titanic please select either and add the second show to your cart. This will apply the £4 discount to your ticket price.
