While banking on tried and true basics, The Wheatsheaf is surely anything but a run-of-the-mill establishment. Putting a little Victorian garden posh into the classic pub scene, the Tooting Bec bar and restaurant serves as the perfect place for a family-friendly Sunday afternoon with our Sunday roasts…

The Lads
Written by Tim Charles
Directed by Matt Kehoe
A bold new work that follows four childhood friends reuniting for their 10-year school reunion. On the surface, each has grown into adulthood—careers, families, responsibilities—but when they come together, old hierarchies and power dynamics resurface. As the evening unfolds, a chance encounter on the way to the reunion reveals a long-buried secret: one of the friends was involved in the rape of a fellow classmate called Gellar.
What follows is an unflinching confrontation of trust, memory, and accountability. The play explores themes of toxic masculinity, male friendship, and the long-overdue reckoning with silence in the face of violence. At its heart, The Lads is a call for allyship, truth-telling, and the urgency of standing up for women’s basic rights.
