Francesca Moody Productions Season
Three wildly original voices. One unforgettable season.
Francesca Moody Productions (FMP) has announced its first full season of work, taking over The Other Palace this autumn and winter. This marks an exciting new chapter for the company, bringing together a dynamic programme of original work, all of which started its life at the Edinburgh Fringe. Having originated two of the most globally successful shows of the last decade: Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, Francesca Moody is one of the industry's most influential and award-winning producers, renowned for championing bold new voices and developing groundbreaking work that has gone on to achieve international acclaim.
The Other Palace season will feature some of FMP’s most successful work to date. From the mind-bending theatrical experiment of Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree, to the razor-sharp dark comedy of Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Might Happen starring Steven Webb, and the gloriously unhinged chaos of Garry Starr: Classic Penguins, each production celebrates original voices and pushes the boundaries of what live theatre can be. Over 4000 tickets will be available at £20 across the season with tickets on sale now.
FMP at The Other Palace season:
An Oak Tree: 7 October - 15 November 2026
Since its world premiere in 2005, Tim Crouch's An Oak Tree has become one of the most influential and widely celebrated plays of the 21st century. A play that shaped the theatre landscape, its groundbreaking premise sees a different guest artist join Crouch for every performance, stepping on stage without ever having read or rehearsed the play. The remarkable roll call of guest artists who have previously performed the play includes Frances McDormand, Geoffrey Rush, Peter Dinklage, Mike Myers, David Tennant, Jessie Buckley, Russell Tovey, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Sophie Okonedo, Sharon D Clarke, Alanis Morissette, Toby Jones, Christopher Eccleston ….
Garry Starr: Classic Penguins: 22 October 2026 – 03 January 2027
In Classic Penguins, Garry Starr is hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written, mostly naked (but with flippers). The comic wunderkind takes audiences on a literary adventure through the world’s most iconic works of fiction – from The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery.
Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen: 19 November 2026 – 10 January 2027
“I’m 36, I’m a comedian, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend…”
Following sold-out runs and an Australian tour, Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen has captivated audiences with its razor-sharp writing, psychological insight and compelling exploration of anxiety, intimacy and self-sabotage and has established itself as one of the stand-out, critically acclaimed new solo shows of recent years.
