Hedda Gabler, the daughter of General Gabler, is in a marriage with a man she hates, in a house she despises. The once extraordinary woman is now constrained by the confines of a new, undefinable space. This new adaptation by Kyle Goeken takes Hedda outside its setting into a new space, is stripped back and simmering with unresolved tensions.

Ibsen wrote about psychology in the 1800s before it was an idea. Audiences at the time were baffled by this and couldn’t fathom a person behaving in such a way. How does Hedda exist today? You’ve seen her before.

Corset Story is a fun cabaret in which SELF&SOSSI explore the restraint and liberation imposed by corsetry through provocative love songs, piano, ukuleles, stories and physical theatre. Throughout history, corsets have been a significant piece of clothing, representing a void between patriarchy and feminism.

Audience feedback from performances at The Merlin Theatre, Frome and The Glitch, London.

"Self & Sossi have chosen the genre of Cabaret Opera as a container to bring together their different performance disciplines. Both performers have a passion for challenging gender stereotypes and promoting gender fluidity. At first glance the corset may be seen as a symbol of constraint and anti-feminism yet through the facets of constriction liberation can appear. Self & Sossi explore the bigger picture of gender in balance through touching autoethnography and their own physicality."

"Corset Story, an original piece of theatre written and performed by by Marina Sossi and Susie Self, is a kaleidoscope of original music, movement, historical vignette and personal reflection, bound together by the central theme of how the corset-like restraint of femininity-myths have shaped women's lives, and their roles in the creative industries. "

"Corset Story is richly inventive moving, funny, enlightening and thought-provoking Its heroines: performance artist Marina Sossi and composer/conductor Susie Self, are remarkably talented artists, who’ve unlaced their corsets, broken the mould, and dared to be all that they are."

In this extraordinary play, a "room" and a "cage" and "people" and "captive birds" all become confused until a dramatic climax in which we suddenly see reality.

Six women live in a locked room, each absorbed in her own petty interest and in placating the "Mistress" who takes care of them. They are singing, dancing and gossiping…

Then a "Wild One" is thrust in among them. She talks of breaking out of the room to find freedom. She troubles the others who remain secure in their cage,

and they all join against her in the shattering conclusion to this unforgettable play that offers eight actresses an unusual opportunity.

The Language of Roses is not just a show—it is a living poem, a quiet storm, a garden of emotion waiting to be felt. A Spoken Word Poetry and Storytelling experience, it leads you through an unforgettable journey shared by two powerful voices: Solomon Prempeh and Tifany Marsah.

 Together, they weave a world where every word is deliberate, every silence full, and every rose—spoken or unspoken—carries meaning. Their writing tugs at the heartstrings and cultivates an atmosphere of safety, peace, and raw humanity.

 The performance unfolds through a seamless blend of joint pieces, carousel-style storytelling, and moments where each poet steps into their own spotlight—inviting the audience into the sacred intimacy of their individual expression.

 Accompanied by a live pianist, the show deepens into something more than performance—it becomes communion. Music and poetry intertwine to unlock a language beyond words. One of emotion. Of memory. Of roses.

 Come closer. The roses are speaking. Listen.

It’s the return of SKETCHBURN: the sketches of tomorrow, today! 

(And by ‘today’, I mean 'Tuesday, 17th June’.)

A ragtag group of comedy writers, performers and ne’er-do-wells present works-in-progress of their latest sketch comedy films. The aim: to bring the feedback loop of live comedy to filmed comedy sketches, at every stage of the process:

• 📚 The Readings: staged readings of brand-new sketch scripts

• 🎬 The Rough Cuts: screenings of rough cuts fresh from the edit

• 🍿 The Showcase: screenings of finished sketches, ready to go

As well as listening out for what makes you laugh, there’ll be space for more direct feedback too – so you can help us decide which bits to keep and which bits to burn forever. 

So if you’re a fellow comedy creator who loves dissecting the metaphorical frog, or a comedy fan who wants to peek behind the metaphorical curtain, then SKETCHBURN is the (non-metaphorical) night for you!

(And if you want to skip the booking fee, you can call the box office directly: 020 7482 4857)

Two married researchers, isolated on a remote outpost in the mid-Atlantic and under surveillance by a sociologist, find two political campaigners washed up on-shore. The UK is ravaged by civil war, leaving the three scientists on the last piece of neutral British territory, and forced to make an impossible decision.

Two married researchers, isolated on a remote outpost in the mid-Atlantic and under surveillance by a sociologist, find two political campaigners washed up on-shore. The UK is ravaged by civil war, leaving the three scientists on the last piece of neutral British territory, and forced to make an impossible decision.

Rachel and Max are an ordinary couple, living ordinary lives until something extraordinary turns everything upside down. Now they have the single most important decision of their life to make.

They piece together their thoughts, bit by bit, good and bad, speaking the things you shouldn’t say and contemplating the never ending ‘What ifs’.

Extra Ordinary follows Max and Rachel as they consider the news that their unborn baby will be born with Down’s syndrome. They are faced with many life-changing decisions -- should they proceed with further testing, how will their lives change, what complexities will their child have, will they be able to support their child? The list goes on. Ultimately, is there a right decision?

Extra Ordinary is an emotional rollercoaster, exploring the differing perspectives of a mother and father. As they debate, reflect, and consider all the possibilities, the question remains, will they reach a conclusion?

This piece of new writing examines the progress of science and the effects of the high- risk methods used to test mothers in similar situations today. Extra Ordinary is a powerful, thought-provoking experience that will leave you pondering, what you would do in their position?

Following the performance there will be a post-show Q&A with the actors and playwright. 

"Verbal Diary is an absolute must-see" - A Youngish Perspective ****  

 Verbal Diary is a chaotic feel good show accompanied with original music by “Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure”, John Otway. Originally written by Otway and Paul Bradley (Eastenders, Holby City, Young Ones) it has a rich comedy history having been produced by the late great Rik Mayall. 40 years on, after supporting John Otway at a festival, Actor and Comedian Tom Johnson was given a free hand to rewrite and revive the show in his own way. Both Otway and Johnson have worked closely on reviving this comedy musical originally written in 1984, with Tom keeping the spirit of irreverent and anarchic comedy well alive in his writing. 

After a successfully received run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, it is now going on tour around England…

 "Hidden Gem of the Fringe" - Fringe Review *****

 Part of Chortle's 10 recommended plays to see if you're a comedy fan, it follows the life of Gordon. A hapless photographer who decides to take charge of his life, after his old one falls apart. He does this by adapting to two New Year's resolutions; 1) to keep a diary and 2) get the girl. Which happens to be his new medical student flatmate, Cheryl.

 But Cheryl, along with the other two residents, wide boy Phil and Tristram the pretentious artist, have other ideas. Unbeknownst to Gordon, his new flatmates start to read his diary and anticipate his every move. Gordon must navigate his new world, of chasing Cheryl, trying to impress his unhinged boss Eric and building a friendship with Phil and Tristram. All while trying to make a name for himself as a photojournalist.

"Johnson is one of Comedy's Naturals" - Estuary Fringe Reporter

 This is a tale of the underdog. Struggling to find his way through friendship, love, loneliness and realising that not everything has happy endings in the way he envisaged, in this absurd and warm hearted comedy. With a live guitarist and string section showcasing an excellent and interesting array of Otway's back catalogue and specially written tracks just for this production.

 To see it is "a must" - The Scotsman

 Oh, and the Set? "It must be the best piece of creative design on display at the Fringe"... See for yourself.

Music and lyrics by Tracey Yarad
Directed by Tessa Souter

What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write some killer songs and make a show #TrueStory

An emotionally raw blend of memoir and song, Tracey Yarad’s All These Pretty Things is a phoenix rising from the ashes story, taking the audience from Australia and the fallout of a devastating divorce following her husband's affair with their teenage goddaughter, to New York City and an inspiring new life. An evocative portrayal of one woman’s capacity to come back stronger than ever, it is an inspirational testament to the human spirit.

'All These Pretty Things is the kind of show that demands a standing ovation.' –The List *****

Enter the shadowy world of espionage, where a rookie secret agent puts his skills to the test, taking you on a gripping mission through mime and live soundscapes.
In A.I.M [An Invisible Mission], our agent races against time to crack his first mission - no cameras, no CGI, just two performers conjuring car chases, explosions, and spy intrigue live on stage. Watch as mime collides with live foley artistry in this genre-bending homage to spy films.
Fresh from a crowd pleasing pilot praised as “one of the best devised shows” ever seen and “beautifully executed,” this experimental show invites audiences to rediscover the thrill of storytelling through sound and movement. Mission Impossible meets Mime, this show is perfect for fans of inventive theatre, and anyone who’s ever wanted to be a spy.

Lost Property is a cutting-edge one-woman show that explores the complexities of womanhood and the intricate dynamics of female relationships.

Set during a morning tram commute, Alice, an unrelenting optimist, embarks on a journey to reclaim a lost possession after an encounter with a stranger. Retracing her steps over the past year, Alice confronts her recent decisions, untangling her morphed view of female solidarity in order to recover what she has lost.

Blending absurdity and comedy with poignant reflections on solidarity, Lost Property poses the provocative question: What do women truly owe each other?

★★★★★ “Clever, hilarious and poignant" - Tagg

★★★★ “A smart, sensitive treatise on how we relate to each other” - Theatre Matters

“A bravura performance that reaffirmed faith in the monologue” - Melbourne Observer

LA is burning. When a pair of old Angelenos lose everything, they must navigate overwhelming grief, toxic ash and paperwork purgatory, surrounded by clueless celebs, soulless politicians and insurance vampires. 6000 miles away, their (very) anxious daughter is trying really hard not to unravel.

Burn Baby Burn: LA Inferno is a stripped-back, sharp-witted mix of storytelling, satire, and songs, exploring the human cost of climate change and the humans fanning the flames. Asking questions that nobody wants to answer like: why was LA’s biggest reservoir empty? What the hell is a ‘firenado’? And just how quickly will you be cancelled for posting a ‘fire selfie’?

With a childhood shaped by wildfires and her parents' home destroyed in January’s blaze, Erin’s doing the most rational thing–turning her heartbreak and existential dread into a show.

Burn Baby Burn is Erin Hunter’s second solo show, following the success of critically acclaimed Surfing the Holyland which garnered nominations for the Popcorn/BBC New Writing Award at Ed Fringe and an Offie at Brighton Fringe.

Produced by Slackline Productions, champions of women 35+, and directed by its founder, Kristin Duffy.

... real friends help you move a body.
An award winning black comedy about two inept Irish criminals who have dreams of pulling off a heist far beyond their minimal abilities. They plan to enlist the help of a local crime boss with a fearsome reputation for violence. What could possibly go wrong? Well, more or less everything.
Ambition, folly, violence, murder, revenge and... redemption? Friends Help You Move is a dark comedy thriller in one act written by John Ward.

Lotophagi Theatre Company brings you a brand new adaptation of an Ancient Greek Tragedy: Euripides' 'Bacchae'! It’s the height of the psychedelic 60s and Pentheus, a cynical and jaded young man, believes he is being intentionally tormented by the new-age cult of Dionysus. Taking place over the course of a singular day, this play follows Pentheus as he comes to terms with his mother’s decision to abandon him in favour of joining the cult. Dionysus may claim to be a god, but that is the one thing our tragic protagonist is itching to prove wrong, even if he destroys himself in the process. 'Pentheus' is the story of a young man surrounded by sex, drugs, and social change, exposing the confusion that may lie behind the barricades of learned, self-destructive behaviours.

Kitt can be a bit of a bitch. Noel can be an asshole. But they loved each other, once. Why don’t they anymore? And why don’t they even recognize one another?

Noel and Kitt enter a Launderette, but as their eyes meet, they can’t quite place where they know each other from. Over the next hour, they air their dirty laundry, chatting shit about their exes without realizing they're talking to the very same. As their clothes get sudsy, they discover more about each other, and the life they shared, until they start to remember who they were (or are) to each other.

Memory is a tricky thing- it can make us forget things it deems painful. But what happens when we come face to face with those memories? How hard will your mind work to keep you in the dark?

Spin Cycle is a queer love story about the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, and dirty and clean clothes. It is a bittersweet, absurdist piece that delves into a complex relationship and explores how love can affect someone long after it is forgotten.

“Berserk Theatre” is co-run by Zofia Zerphy and Vilde Bjorkedal. Spin Cycle is their third play, following An Average Family (★★★★ – Adventures in Theatre Land), and their debut play How to Urn a Living, ( ★★★★ – Everything Theatre, ★★★★ – Theatre and Art Reviews).

Fin a freelance illustrator is working a zero-hour contract as a cycle courier, her free-spirited and unconventional approach to life at odds with the expectations of those around her. Her discovery in her late twenties that she is pregnant leads her to confront her own belief systems and examines the othering of expectant mothers.

'Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure' premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24 years ago winning a London transfer to the Pleasance in London.
New elements have been introduced since its first outing in 2001, with actor and theatre maker Genevieve Labuschagne collaborating with the show’s originator Sam Holland-Bunyan.

This version, whilst maintaining much of the original considers some of the crises that Labuschagne has herself experienced as a woman in her late twenties attempting to manage the pressures of an unconventional career, misguided relationships, and the decision to have a child.

“A delicate and wistful reflection on pregnancy, something rarely explored in the theatre" The Stage

"One of the braver, more sensitive, and infinitely more memorable shows on the Fringe” The Scotsman****

Inventive, physical and achingly human. The show comically explores life, pregnancy & parenthood. It shines a light on how not only so much of who we are and what we do is shaped by those who raise us but also how so much of what we experience changes us.

Welcome to a world where suffering is currency, where trauma is art, and where pain is the ultimate proof of existence. In this surreal, gut-wrenching journey, a wanderer ascends a crumbling building, floor by floor, through a labyrinth of twisted memories and psychological wreckage.
Alongside them, a stranger hoards grotesque X-ray vinyl—warped, fractured, and prized for the sickness captured within. Each floor unveils a spectacle of decaying dreams, anxious stagnation, and the seductive lure of suffering as identity.
Inspired by the Jirai Kei phenomenon, And Tonight No One Descends is an experimental theatre piece which explores how pain is internalised and externalised in different ways. Will you watch from a distance, or will you recognise yourself in the wreckage? Through this journey, the play examines the universal struggle with trauma, inviting audiences to reflect on their own experiences with empathy and understanding.

Inspired by the Jirai Kei phenomenon, And Tonight No One Descends is an experimental theatre piece which explores how pain is internalised and externalised in different ways. Will you watch from a distance, or will you recognise yourself in the wreckage? Through this journey, the play examines the universal struggle with trauma, inviting audiences to reflect on their own experiences with empathy and understanding.

“Leaving reviewers crying with laughter” (Varsity, 2025)

Six women, exiled from their homes. Sent to colonise a new land. A boat. Powerful men, oppressed women. You can guess what happens next. A journey that takes longer than expected, and weathers more than storms. Navigating life on the ship is a crueller fate than the destination, and the convicts have a choice to make. Using the devices of theatre, music and narrative we bring women to life, three-dimensionally and unapologetically. What happens when women close their legs and open their mouths?

Kitt can be a bit of a bitch. Noel can be an asshole. But they loved each other, once. Why don’t they anymore? And why don’t they even recognize one another?

Noel and Kitt enter a Launderette, but as their eyes meet, they can’t quite place where they know each other from. Over the next hour, they air their dirty laundry, chatting shit about their exes without realizing they're talking to the very same. As their clothes get sudsy, they discover more about each other, and the life they shared, until they start to remember who they were (or are) to each other.

Memory is a tricky thing- it can make us forget things it deems painful. But what happens when we come face to face with those memories? How hard will your mind work to keep you in the dark?

Spin Cycle is a queer love story about the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, and dirty and clean clothes. It is a bittersweet, absurdist piece that delves into a complex relationship and explores how love can affect someone long after it is forgotten.

“Berserk Theatre” is co-run by Zofia Zerphy and Vilde Bjorkedal. Spin Cycle is their third play, following An Average Family (★★★★ – Adventures in Theatre Land), and their debut play How to Urn a Living, ( ★★★★ – Everything Theatre, ★★★★ – Theatre and Art Reviews).

NAZERETH LOVE JONES LIVE

Making its fourth appearance, and second at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden, Noli is the festival for short films too experimental, too daring, too ‘amateur’ or simply too long for the mainstream circuit. We want to establish an independent network of our own that values cinema and creativity, outside of the corporatised events that have come to dominate the scene. With this event, you are buying into cinema culture, which means having an atmosphere to be part of, a place to hang out, your own corner of London that works for you and you work for it (ie. you enjoy it!). Find out more: nolishortfilmfestival.wordpress.com

And so with the meticulous attention to detail of an experienced collector he calmly plans her abduction.
