    The Man Who Was Thursday

    Fri 13 March at 9pm
    Tickets £12 - £18 (+ booking fee)
    A poet seeks revenge on the anarchists who destroyed her home. As chaos unfolds into twists upon turns, nothing (and no one) is quite what (who) it (they) seems (seem)!

    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!
