The Forbidden Realm Of Conspiracies: Uncovered

WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE? The Forbidden Realm of Conspiracies: Uncovered is a bold, immersive theatre experience that pulls you deep into the world of conspiracy theories, hidden narratives, and forbidden questions - brought to life with cinematic visuals, powerful sound, and live audience moments. This isn’t a lecture. And it isn’t here to tell you what to believe. It’s an experience designed to unsettle certainty, challenge perception, and make you question how easily belief is shaped. Explore some of the most talked-about ideas of our time - from media narratives and power structures to memory, perception, and pandemic-era debates. These are the topics dominating TikTok, podcasts, and online discussion worldwide - now transformed into a gripping live event. But… THIS IS RISKY. These are the kinds of ideas people avoid in polite conversation. The kinds of questions that make rooms go quiet. But here, they’re brought into the open - not to give you answers, but to let you experience the discomfort, the doubt, and the uncertainty for yourself. Through striking visuals, immersive sound, and a tense, atmospheric journey, you’ll be drawn into an experience that feels intimate, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Many audience members describe leaving in silence… still thinking. Tickets are limited. And they’re selling fast. This is not a show everyone will be comfortable with - and that’s exactly the point. Brand new for 2026. Step inside.

Tony Coates from the Liverpool Express, The Merseys and the Merseybeats, Pete Maclaine, original front man of with the Dakotas and later Pete Maclaine and the Clan, Ian Goodall from Tony D and the Shakeouts and legendary drummer Alan Noone, The Riot Squad, combine 325 years of experiences to bring authenticity, stories and great live music to the show that sold out across the North West. In 2013, Manfred Kuhlmann published an anthology of bands that were part of the Merseybeat era. Together with his previous publication “Beat Waves Across the Mersey” Manfred catalogued more than 750 Merseybeat groups in over 900 pages. Alan Noone, playing with ‘The Riot Squad’ in 1962, features on the cover of the revised 2021 version of ‘Some Other Guys’ and it was his idea to create this show to pay homage to the Merseybeat musicians, so they may not be forgotten.

The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town

The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town Written by Spike Milligan and Ronnie Barker. Something is rotten in Old London Town… In Victorian England, a rotten, raspberry blower is claiming the lives of the upper-classes. The dark alleyways and moonlit graveyards of London are alive with the repetitive dins of the Phantom. Inspector Corner of the Yard and his faithful sidekick, Sergeant Bowles, are fed up with these din-dins. The case is afoot. Will the Phantom be uncloaked? All will be revealed… particularly if the Phantom uncloaks himself. Immortalised by The Two Ronnies, this Jack the Ripper parody is raspberry-jam-packed with Spike Milligan’s and Ronnie Barker’s love of surreal absurdism, clever puns, near-the-knuckle ribaldry, quick-fire jokes and famous wordplay. Celebrating the 50th anniversary since its original broadcast in 1976, this newly adapted stage play brings the Phantom back to life like never before. Presented by Hambledon Productions with the kind permission of Spike Milligan Productions Ltd and Handles for Forks Ltd.

The Haunting of Blaine Manor

The Haunting of Blaine Manor Winner of The Salford Star Best Play of the Year Award Written & Directed by Joe O'Byrne England, 1953. Renowned American parapsychologist Doctor Roy Earle, famous for discrediting hauntings and exposing fake mediums, is invited to attend a seance in Blaine Manor, said to be the most haunted building in England. However, Earle’s arrival awakes something horrific within the manor’s walls. As a raging storm closes them off from the outside world, Earle and his companions find that what is waiting within the manor is not nearly as horrific as what has entered with them. In the spirit of M R James, England’s most accomplished ghost story writer ('Casting the Runes', 'Whistle and I’ll Come To You My Lad', 'The Haunted Doll’s House') and with a nod to the classic black and white film classics of Columbia Pictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayor, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox. O’Byrne’s award winning production is a love letter to both the Golden Age of Hollywood and the Hammer Horror era. An appreciation of the fabulous characters played by the likes of Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Bette Davis, Peter Lorre and more. It’s a thrilling haunted house chiller set in a manor with a twisted history of madness, witchcraft, tragedy and death, it’s the new 'The Woman in Black'.
