After a wild, sold out night in December, we’re doing Good Time: Good Enough again to meet the demands of an adoring public. Some of the same japes, plus some new stuff, all (still) Good Enough!

GOOD TIME is not just a show, it’s a night out.  A place to revel in weirdness, whimsy and wildness.

Produced by a collective of performers, producers, comedians and creatives who love exciting stages and never want the night to end, we’re here to create one to remember.  A night for fun.  A night for watching brilliant people do brilliant stuff, and having a proper dance afterwards.

As the looming spectre of sequel slump watches over us, the theme of our night will be GOOD ENOUGH…

Who needs excellence when good enough will do? Join us for an evening that bravely refuses to aim too high. These are stories of people striving (half-heartedly), settling (enthusiastically), and learning to embrace mediocrity in all its glory.

What does it mean to be good enough and do you really care? This is theatre for anyone who’s ever thought, meh, close enough.

The Misanthrope

What if honesty makes you the odd one out?
What if power goes to one, and not the people?
And what if reason plays no part…
in deciding matters of the heart?



KDC Theatre presents “The Misanthrope”,
based on the play by Molière and adapted by Matthew Partridge
Directed by Angelika Michitsch

24-28 March 2026
Barons Court Theatre

About

Corruption, intrigue, deception and hope.

Forget love triangles – this frisky play relates an octagon of tangled romantic interests, mingled with corruption and mangled by characters with one aim: to get what they want, no matter the cost.
Amidst all this, will Alex West, a truth-telling journalist, be able to stick to his moralistic views?
Will Oronte, his rival for Celine’s affection and petty politician extraordinaire, be able to climb to the top?
What happens when the person we desire is the person we most dislike?
Set in a seedy cocktail bar in politically ravaged ‘Maghrebia’, this modern adaptation of Molière’s classic is a comedy as dark as Oronte’s shades.

Cast:
Kristen: Nelena Paparisva
Oronte: Ben Anadolu
Alex West: Jack Curtin
Lauren: Anya Smith-Roman
Celine: Katie Francis
Gregory: Randy Brown
Ben: Marshall Camden
Joan: Harleen Bahra

Creative team:
Director: Angelika Michitsch
Assistant director: Matthew Partridge
Sound/Light: Jennie Foot
Costume: Carmen Otero Loira

About

Five cooks in the small kitchen of The Golden Dragon.
They are immigrants.
They are illegal.
They have no papers. 

And while they struggle in the kitchen, the people around them have no idea what is happening: The grandfather, his granddaughter, her boy friend, the man in the striped shirt, all of them have their own hardship, hidden behind the doors of their apartments. And the shopkeeper, Hans, really has something to hide.

The Golden Dragon is a play about anonymity in big cities, the neighbours we hardly know. About the people who don’t even exist on paper. A play about the misery hidden under the surface.

Cast:
The Young Man: Ethan Solanki
The Young Woman: Carolina Penco Salvi
The Man: Max Orel
The Man Over Sixty: Clovis Parker-Jervis
The Woman Over Sixty: Jenni Wredden

Creative team:
Director: Alexander Kampmann
Assistant Director: Azul Alysum

About

Sheila and Abigail work for their mother’s small family business. Sheila’s job used to be a source of joy and exhilaration and fulfilment for her, but a chance encounter with an old classmate has her questioning everything. But when you’re an assassin for hire, being distracted by an existential crisis means getting sloppy, and getting sloppy means getting killed.

Kill Local is a pitch-black comedy about blood ties, revenge, and trying to get unstuck – especially when your life is dedicated to ending others’. Think Tarantino meets Lost in Translation.

Cast:
Todd: Simon Berry
Sheila: Olivia Cordell
Abigail: Nikki Zhao
Gloria: Julia Blyth
Ami: Katie Price

Creative team:
Director: Saskia van ‘t Hoff
Assistant Director: Azul Alysum
Fight Direction: Katy Treble

About

Nine parallel lives – interlocked by 4 infidelities, 1 missing person and a mysterious stiletto – are woven through a fragmented series of confessionals and interrogations that gradually reveal a darker side of human nature.

Blends sharp psychological insight with a bold, theatrical structure. At its heart, it’s about connection—missed, broken, rediscovered—and how our lives overlap in ways we don’t always see.

Cast:
Leon: Thom Short
Sonja: Aisha Noreen
Pete: Jack Curtin
Jane: Lucy Harper
Neil: Luke Brown
Sarah: Sophie Vroom
Nick: Gabriel Romero Day
Valerie: Jacky Rowland
John: Steve Grist

Director: Dominic Short
Assistant Director: Flick Hemming
