AND IF THE SURFACE TENSION BREAKS at Lion and Unicorn Theatre 11 Feb - 1 Mar
In the split second before a rare (and frankly inconvenient) cosmic event tears Planet Earth to atoms, the last human alive experiences one final moment of consciousness. A one-way rollercoaster ride to the edge of the apocalypse as life, death and the universe collide one final time… you’re invited to join us to wave goodbye to the past, live in the moment, and celebrate a future that will never come to pass, as one man hurtles from the Last Gasp to the Big Bang and back again.
THE SEANCE by Christopher Stagg at Old Red Lion Theatre 21 - 25 January
After a sold out show at Grimfest, The Séance returns to haunt the stage. An evening of live performance utilising the techniques of Victorian Spiritualist Mediums and their more modern contemporaries, in a play that attempts to prove the existence of life after death. Our occultist will demonstrate their abilities with spirit boards, tarot, poppets and scrying techniques before joining hands in one last attempt to summon the dead. The dead are listening, but it’s not only them who may answer.
MISSING LANE MARKERS on the A47 at Bread and Roses Theatre 7 - 18 January
Toby Moran Mylett's new play is about the peculiarities of country life, the experience of being an outsider and the invisible lines that connect our experiences. Following previews in 2023 at Camden People's Theatre, fiftysixty bring this dryly funny and moving take on modern loneliness to audiences in South London.

THE VEGAN TIGRESS by Claire Parker at Bread and Roses Theatre 18 February - 1 March
A 19th century feminist fairy tale writer accidentally summons a ghost. The spirit is the mother of the lover the writer spurned years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and tightly-laced corsets collide in a celebration of storytelling. The play is inspired by the author Mary de Morgan, who wrote several volumes of fairy tales, tearing up the rule book on expected outcomes for boys, girls and happy ever afters. She grew up amongst artists and activists in a circle of free-thinking Pre-Raphaelites and was well acquainted with the families of William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Rudyard Kipling and the Rossettis.
