A reimagining of Bertolt Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera, with references to the government of Margaret Thatcher and the advent of the punk rock era, defined by a rejection of core British values: miner strikes, race riots, football hooligans and garbage strikes…setting the scene in Camden where it all began!
SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! two shows at Etcetera Theatre, Camden 13 June & 12 July
L.A.'s underground hit has landed in London: Slideshow is about speaking your truth, bearing it all and backing it up with the real life images up on the screen to prove it. It's the place where storytellers, poets, comedians, musicians and more come together to share the good, the not-so-good, and the I-wouldn't-believe-that-if-I-wasn't-seeing-the-pictures-for-myself kind of moments.

Barons Court Theatre 30 June - 4 July
Ever wondered what the person next to you is thinking? Pulled earrings. Slit wrists. Chopped veins. T-rex arms.
Prepare for the uncomfortable and dive into Eva’s mind. Guided by Arthur, a grotesque, sadistic, half-real figure, this two-hander surreal dark comedy will bring you on a journey that will shift your concept of normality.
THE CABIN at Barons Court Theatre 7 - 11 July
Former school classmates Benny, Elsie, Ali, and Matthew wake up to find themselves locked in a room together. There's no way out, & cameras are watching their every
move. The only item in there with them is a gun, and the only means of escape is by using it to kill one of their group. If they don't, they all die. They just need to figure out how to switch the safety off first...
As tensions rise and the timer runs out, secrets surface, old wounds are reopened, and heartbreaking betrayals are revealed.
It really is the worst school reunion ever...
