International award-winning actor Benjamin Kelm brings his personal story of his time in New York to the stage. In this poetic narrative, he relates his impressions and experiences. Join him on a fast-paced roller coaster ride through "the city that never sleeps,” with all the ups and downs, joy and excitement, and laughs and screams!
Ben lived his dream, but it took a lot out of him. In addition to his apartment being broken into, two older men on the street violating his personal space, and the generally overwhelming quality of life in NYC, he also had to deal with the loneliness that came with being so far from home.
He was about to lose himself. But if it was the city that brought him to this point, it was also New York that let him find himself again.
Accompany Ben on his emotional journey as well as vicariously experiencing the uniqueness of New York.
Benjamin Kelm participated in the “World Championships of Performing Arts” in Los Angeles and represented Germany in acting. In all six categories, he was awarded the highest rating of the jury as well as the Industry Award.

MEET ME IN THE MORNING - TALES, LIES & A TRIBUTE TO BOB DYLAN
- 21:00 22:00
- above the Oxford Arms (map)
Meet Me In the Morning is a concert with a twist. All songs are linked and intertwined with short scenes based on tales (and lies) about Bob Dylan's life and works. It is a surreal, stylistic, and Dylanistic ride where the Joker and the Thief meet for the first time, and they soon realize they have some kind of connection. The conflict between the characters has a strong "Waiting for Godot" feel and evokes confusion, recognition, and emotion in the audience. The show touches on subjects like friendship, dreams, love, and war. Topics that, undeniably, are as timeless and ever-relevant as many of Bob Dylan's songs and lyrics.

The Windrush Warriors is a dramatic comedy. The show will affect people’s emotions whilst also making them laugh. The Windrush scandal is exposed and also the real-life trauma that affected so many innocent people. The Pensioners share funny and heart-breaking insight into the experience of Caribbean migrants who helped shape the UK and are now being treated like undesirables. And their answer to this treatment? To fight adversity with Warrior like ferocity! (short version)
The Windrush Warriors is a dramatic comedy. The story exposes the Windrush scandal however the show is life-affirming. After living here all her life, an elderly black woman is having her immigration status investigated. Will she be deported? Her friends rally round & they form a ’fight back group’, The Windrush Warriors. The Pensioners share funny and heart-breaking insight into the experience of Caribbean migrants who helped shape the UK and are now being treated like undesirables. And their answer to this treatment? To fight adversity with Warrior like ferocity! Raising awareness about the Windrush scandal via the lens of theatre is a key aspect of the play and the theme of the play is courage under fire.
We see how a government betrayed people that a previous government welcomed. Together these 4 pensioners interact with varying degrees of response to this very real threat to their lives and they strike a balance between comedy and sobering drama. These pensioners experience the joys & angst of their golden years and come together when faced with cruel and unjust treatment. The fact that the script is based on true events makes for an interesting, entertaining and socially conscious show.
