“...Groves, a true raconteur, wove tales that were at times quirky, at others laced with a dry, banterous humour that tickled the funny bone even as chills ran down the spine... We, the audience, were captivated by the sheer power of his storytelling.” London Fringe Theatre Reviews
Normally known for his popular ancient Egyptian and quirky suspense storytelling shows, Kevin brings a new show dishing up his love of horror sprinkled with a little bit of surprise and dark twisted humour.

Noli: Too Long/Too Difficult/Too Raw Short Film Festival
- 19:00 22:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
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!).

Something is calling to you beyond this world…
A pulsating beat rising from the earth into your body.
The louder it gets, the more you want to become a part of it, at one with it.
You close your eyes.
Let everything fade into this one moment.
You have been here for far too long.
A Mother and her Daughter. A Sister and her Brother. All consumed by addiction.
A girl stumbles into a fairy circle in search of her mother. Years after cutting contact with her addict mother, she finds her past actions coming back to haunt her as she begins to follow a similar path. Will she be able to break the cycle? A sister and brother are separated yet closer than they seem. Parted at a young age and raised as strangers, the siblings are fighting to find a way back to each other after years of neglect. Their paths take a dark turn as they find themselves trapped in Annwn. Will they be able to escape?
Set in a dark mythical underworld called Annwn, this piece explores themes of addiction through Welsh folklore and physical theatre. A raw, loud and bold piece that captures how addiction affects different relationships. This play includes flashing lights and loud noises. Themes of addiction, alcoholism, substance abuse, neglect, abuse and suicide are also present in this piece.

This Halloween, step inside… if you dare.
Five strangers arrive at a desolate monastery, each drawn by a mysterious invitation and the promise of a life-changing ritual. But once the doors close, it becomes clear—they were never meant to leave.
As the night deepens, buried secrets rise, reality twists, and a chilling presence begins to stir. One by one, the guests are forced to confront the darkness inside them… and the even darker force they’ve unknowingly awakened.
Terrifying, thrilling, and utterly unmissable, The Summoned is a heart-pounding new horror from playwright Phoenix Benham. Set against the eerie backdrop of an ancient ruin and dripping with suspense, it’s the perfect theatrical descent into madness this Halloween season.
Some things should never be summoned.
You will never forget what you’ve seen.

‘Dying… Dying… Dying… Dying…’
Two men sit together on a bench in a park, discussing ducks, politics, nature and much more. They don’t know anything about ducks, but that won’t stop them from pretending that they do.
‘The Duck Variations’ explores human vulnerability and our fear of what comes after death. How far will we go to hide our insecurities from others at the expense of deeper human connection? This production poses the same questions that David Mamet’s play did in 1972, set within our highly competitive and sometimes isolating modern corporate world.
This amateur production of “The Duck Variations” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

🎟️ VIDEO NASTIES 3: THREEQUEL OF THE DAMNED
1st November 2025 – Etcetera Theatre, Camden – 7pm to 10pm
They said we wouldn’t survive a sequel…
They begged us not to return…
But evil never dies—it just comes back harder, bloodier, and filthier.
Enter the THREEQUEL OF THE DAMNED — the third, unholy installment of London’s most depraved film festival. On the foulest night of the year, Video Nasties claws its way from the censor’s grave, screaming and dripping with perversion, to spew a fresh torrent of unspeakable horror, eyeball-melting gore, and flesh-soaked cinema depravity straight into your slack-jawed, popcorn-stained face.
🩸 Monstrous death scenes that'll make you lose your guts (literally)
🧠 Mind-warping stories that should've stayed buried
🍑 Nudity so gratuitous it practically peels off the screen
🤢 Films banned not just by governments, but by good taste itself.
This is not a safe space. This is not a polite film night — it’s a ritual of ruin, a celebration of the banned, the broken, and the beyond-the-pale. If you’re squeamish, prudish, or possess a soul… stay home.
This is your one-way ticket to celluloid damnation.
🎟️
SNATCH YOUR TICKETS before the censors find us.
Because after this… there may not be a fourth.

CHEF is a fierce, poetic monologue about a brilliant Italian woman whose journey from Michelin-starred kitchens to a prison canteen is told through memories, recipes, and raw emotion.
Starring the electrifying Miriam Gagino and directed by Alessandra Gonnella, this London premiere reimagines Sabrina Mahfouz’s acclaimed play through a bold, international lens. Chef is an Italian woman, immigrant, living in the UK.
At the heart of CHEF is a woman who once lived for precision and beauty but found herself navigating a world of violence, trauma, and injustice. Behind bars, she confronts her past, her guilt, and the hunger that shaped her: for power, for love, and for survival.
Blending spoken word, storytelling and culinary metaphor, CHEF is a brutal yet lyrical exploration of womanhood, class, and the systems that confine us.
A story of reinvention and resistance, served hot.
This is not just food for thought: it’s a meal that burns going down.

Public Sharing: Dick Fiddler Is Dead

Dick Fiddler is convinced he’s dead. Grieving his job, his status and his own existence he meets Jenny: mysterious, funny and carrying a suitcase full of Kleftiko. As they cook, clash and connect, memory twists and reality slips. What if nothing is quite what it seems?
Dick Fiddler is Dead is a new, tender tragicomedy that explores identity, loss and the quiet absurdity of everyday life. Set in a world where logic bends and memory misbehaves, this two-hander blends dark humour, surreal encounters and explores the struggle to stir memory into meaning, layering fragmented pasts with the taste of something real.

Mill doesn't like her flatmate Gen, and Gen isn't exactly Mill's biggest fan either.
333 follows their separate trials and tribulations. Mill is a high-performance engine of relentless self-optimisation. Gen is less than bothered, paralysed by choice and chain smoking her twenties away.
They judge, they blame, they fail to listen. The result? They're drowning in unspoken tension.
"Love thy neighbour"? Yeah, right.
Written by and starring Emily Braddick and Katerina Topali, 333 is set against the backdrop of the London housing crisis. Told through shifting realities, fantasy, movement, awkward silence and mess, the show explores the gap between private and public selves, generational divides, and whether, in a world obsessed with the "self", it's still possible to just talk.
It might make you laugh. It might make you squirm. And it'll definitely leave you wondering if the two actually hate each other off stage.

The performance depicts K. and D. who question the ideas of patriotism and reconstruct their values through the everyday reality of wartime.
However, what would happen if these presumed enemies met outside of their familiar context? What will happen to their identities? And who do they actually hate — the people of the other nation or the politicians who make decisions on behalf of these nations? The performance is rooted in reflection on the black-and-white established representation of the current conflict which, unfortunately, cannot be resolved within the theatre.
The performance includes working with live camera technologies and has an original music score that was developed specifically for the performance.

Public Sharing: Dick Fiddler Is Dead
- 19:00 20:00
- Etcetera Theatre (map)
Dick Fiddler is convinced he’s dead. Grieving his job, his status and his own existence he meets Jenny: mysterious, funny and carrying a suitcase full of Kleftiko. As they cook, clash and connect, memory twists and reality slips. What if nothing is quite what it seems?
Dick Fiddler is Dead is a new, tender tragicomedy that explores identity, loss and the quiet absurdity of everyday life. Set in a world where logic bends and memory misbehaves, this two-hander blends dark humour, surreal encounters and explores the struggle to stir memory into meaning, layering fragmented pasts with the taste of something real.

Mill doesn't like her flatmate Gen, and Gen isn't exactly Mill's biggest fan either.
333 follows their separate trials and tribulations. Mill is a high-performance engine of relentless self-optimisation. Gen is less than bothered, paralysed by choice and chain smoking her twenties away.
They judge, they blame, they fail to listen. The result? They're drowning in unspoken tension.
"Love thy neighbour"? Yeah, right.
Written by and starring Emily Braddick and Katerina Topali, 333 is set against the backdrop of the London housing crisis. Told through shifting realities, fantasy, movement, awkward silence and mess, the show explores the gap between private and public selves, generational divides, and whether, in a world obsessed with the "self", it's still possible to just talk.
It might make you laugh. It might make you squirm. And it'll definitely leave you wondering if the two actually hate each other off stage.

KILL YOUR FATHER (Voila Festival)
- 17:00 18:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Medea is a remarkable story of injustice and ruthless revenge. One of the most powerful and best-known female characters in the theatre history.
A woman who transgresses from mother to anti-mother through the ultimate rebellious act of murdering her own children. She is infamous for challenging the patriarchy.
For the first time in the UK, the critically acclaimed punk-drama KILL YOUR FATHER— a radical reimagining of the Medea myth by black lesbian Brazilian playwright Grace Passô—takes the stage. Maria Paula — a Latina woman, an immigrant, a feminist, a rebellious actor—is now Medea.
When The Medea was originally written, it was performed only by men for a male audience. It's time to change the narrative. KILL YOUR FATHER is for the feminists, the women, and their allies only.
The play powerfully exposes the limits of patriarchy in our society. It’s raw, it’s poetic, and it’s killingly poignant.

5:36 Port Said (Voila festival)
- 21:00 22:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
At 5:36 a.m. in Alexandria’s Lepsius Street, three strangers are trapped in a stalled elevator, three worlds that never meet in daylight, suddenly face to face with History. In the words of Michel Tournier, ‘Nothing isolates us more than our secrets,’ as the machine halts abruptly and the cold metallic chamber becomes a place of confinement where a slow story of loss and revelation unfolds.
The elevator becomes a symbol of a community losing the ground beneath its feet. Outside, the city shifts: loves vanish forever, treasures pass hands, houses empty, shops close. The Greek community of Egypt sees its past shrink into photographs, postcards, and small objects unable to contain the weight of loss.
5:36 Port Said, inspired by a family archive and a yellow notebook whose last page carries a haunting farewell: “In five days I will be in our Greece. I promise never to forget Alexandria, which welcomed the Greeks.”

The First Human and the Last Life (Voila festival)
- 13:00 14:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
The First Human & The Last Life is a sci-fi theatre piece set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows the awakening of the first successfully reborn human after extinction, and their encounter with a humanoid AI.
As Human gradually regains movement, language, and emotion, AI attempts to teach Human how to be human. But can a machine truly understand what it has never felt?
The piece explores themes of memory, identity, morality, humanity, and creation. It blends spoken dialogue with physical performance, layered sound, and visual storytelling using light and projection creating a sensory journey that mirrors the rebirth of humanity.
The performance features two actors, one male and one female, who alternate roles across different shows, each taking turns to play either the AI or the reborn Human. This casting choice allows the team to explore how gender and embodiment influence physicality, presence, and audience perception, especially when portraying the contrast between machine and human.
