V-Day 2025: Raise the Vibration produced by The Bread & Roses Theatre Company 14 & 15 Feb



Throughout history, activists and artists have used V-Day to shed light on the connection between gender based violence and political instability, armed conflict, xenophobia, unsafe working conditions, transphobia, homophobia, and racism.

RAISE THE VIBRATION will replace The Bread and Roses Theatre's annual Vagina Monologues event, through a series of monologues and spoken word peices, so we can foreground new voices in the conversation around ending violence against women (cisgender and transgender), those who hold fluid identities, nonbinary people, girls and the planet.

This is an Artistic Rising and all participation is voluntary. All proceeds from tickets are donated to Refuge - https://www.refuge.org.uk

The Vegan Tigress

written by Claire Parker, directed by Tracy Collier

18th February - 1st March (tues - sat)

A 19th century feminist fairytale writer accidentally summons a ghost. The spirit is the highly-offended mother of the lover the writer spurned years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and corsets collide... 

Claire Parker’s new play shines a light on Mary De Morgan, a writer, a woman of independent means, a socialist and an activist. Mary 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 and would frequently read her stories to their children.

The play celebrates the art and act of storytelling. One of De Morgan’s fantastical tales is woven into this witty reimagining of the moment a formidable ghost from Mary’s past forces her to re-evaluate her own story as she finds herself on the cusp of a life-changing journey.

Presented by LynchPin Theatre.

TELLY

25 - 29 March

written and directed by award-winning writer, James Huxtable

produced by Only Lucky Dogs Theatre

 

One man. One telly.

The story of one law-abiding citizen and an open door, TELLY follows the events of an unsuspecting summer’s night when an innocent man finds himself committing a crime he never thought possible.

How do our decisions shape our lives? And how do we redeem ourselves, if we can at all?

This new absurdist comedy from Only Lucky Dogs explores the confines of the fugitive mind as reality morphs into something utterly unrecognisable. This is a story about downfalls, the intricacies between right and wrong, and the lines we walk between them. 

In truth, it is a story about a lot of things. But, most importantly, it is a story about a telly.


Only Lucky Dogs Theatre is a production house specialising in new, thought-provoking theatre. Established in 2018 by a group of university friends in Sheffield, a dedication to bringing exciting new talent to the forefront of the scene remains their main priority, having launched multiple initiatives to aid the development of early career artists. After a short break, TELLY marks the first piece to be stamped onto the London scene.
