Sword fights, car chases, and conspiracies collide as poet Rosamund Gregory is recruited by a secret police agency to go undercover and seek revenge on the mysterious organisation of anarchists who destroyed her home.
Brighton-based theatre company, The Department of Ulterior Motives (DUM) presents a daring adaptation of G.K. Chesterton’s classic metaphysical comedy thriller, The Man Who Was Thursday, following its acclaimed debut at Brighton Fringe 2025. This explosive re-imagining features plenty of low-budget high-octane action amidst an absurdist anarchic adventure!
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
