Echo: Spoke too much and was forever cursed to echo what others say.
Philomela: Tongue severed and could not tell what had been done to her.
Cassandra: A prophetess that no one would believe.
Arachne: Said the wrong thing in the face of the gods.
Helen: Bound to Troy and never allowed to tell her own story.
ECHOES is a one-woman-show about the silencing and loss of the female voice.
Using stories from classical mythology, the play weaves between modern and ancient narratives, as an actress confronts her ironic fear of her own voice, and tries to find out how she can reclaim not only her own voice, but also those of the women whose voices have been suppressed and distorted for centuries by male dominated scholarship.
The show is a comical and confrontational depiction of women's struggles throughout the ages and shows how the female experience echoes through time.

In Winter We Celebrate Spring (CAMDEN FRINGE)
- 15:00 16:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Fiona has lived in Britain for over a decade. She knows how to navigate racism, bad weather, and overpriced rent. What she doesn't know is how to throw a Chinese New Year that actually feels like one.
When 15-year-old Kailin arrives for the half terms—her first Chinese New Year away from China—Fiona is determined to get it right. The dumplings. The red envelopes. The whole performance of home. But somewhere between the hotel that looks nothing like its photos and a London that no longer feels like hers, something starts to slip. First her composure. Then her pride. Then, piece by piece, her face.
In Winter We Celebrate Spring is a domestic horror laced with dark comedy—a Shirley Jackson-esque story about the quiet violence of trying to belong. No ghosts. No slashers. Just the weight of all the days you forgot to grieve, pressing down until something breaks.
For anyone who has ever tried to recreate a home that no longer exists.

Save the date! It’s Anna’s 50th birthday, and it’s going to be grand.
Only problem is... it’s a year late.
A former professional dancer turned Pilates instructor to the rich and famous, Anna is worn out—from life, motherhood, and a painful breakup. So she decides to give herself the 50th birthday party she deserves—two days before she turns 51.
But this is more than a party.
It’s her chance to reclaim love, connection—and finally stage the one-woman show she’s always dreamed of.
Belated is about big dreams and quiet disappointments. About the moments we begin again—whether by choice or by force. It’s about the gap between the lives we imagined and the ones we’re actually living.
Funny, raw and painfully human, Belated is a celebration of showing up for yourself exactly when it matters most.
And you’re invited.

The Glory Days (camden fringe) (Copy)
- 19:00 20:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
"GLORY"- praise and admiration earned by doing something impressive. Decent.
A talented footballer and highflying corporate matchmaker, Camilla Cole knows exactly how to place people where they're meant to be. Climbing two ladders is quite the balancing act, but worth it when the goal is so enticing... When a work social turned pub reunion provokes a trip down memory lane, this glimpse into the past reveals holes in Cole's perception of success.
Sarah Louise Hill is the actor and writer of this solo show. Pulling from first hand experience as a female athlete, Hill received scholarships to study a BA in Acting whilst playing Division 1 football at University in the States, and is a recipient of the Irene Ryan Award for 'Best Comedy Performance'.
The Glory Days invites the audience to become fans in the stands, punters in the pub, and a soundboard for Cole's predicament: the search for purpose beyond winning. Through multi-roling, top notch banter, and raw honesty, we see an individual fighting for promotion against her former self. But is the sacrifice worth the glory?

In Our Broken Hours (camden fringe)
- 19:00 20:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
In Our Broken Hours is an intimate one act play about a father living with alcoholism and the adult daughter who finds herself slipping into the role of his carer. Through frantic phone calls, raw monologues and a painful meeting, the play explores a relationship shaped by love, frustration and addiction.
Mack, once charismatic, now drifts between warmth and withdrawal, unable to face the depth of his dependency. When his daughter Emma arrives unexpectedly, both are forced to confront the truths they’ve avoided.
What emerges is a portrait of two people who care deeply about each other but can no longer meet in the middle. A story of responsibility, exhaustion and the quiet heartbreak of watching someone you love slowly disappear.
Starring Simon Ashton, an actor, director and producer whose work spans stage and screen, and Giulia Rose, winner of Best Supporting Actress at the New York International Film Awards and the Oniros Film Awards.

In Winter We Celebrate Spring (CAMDEN FRINGE)
- 15:00 16:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Fiona has lived in Britain for over a decade. She knows how to navigate racism, bad weather, and overpriced rent. What she doesn't know is how to throw a Chinese New Year that actually feels like one.
When 15-year-old Kailin arrives for the half terms—her first Chinese New Year away from China—Fiona is determined to get it right. The dumplings. The red envelopes. The whole performance of home. But somewhere between the hotel that looks nothing like its photos and a London that no longer feels like hers, something starts to slip. First her composure. Then her pride. Then, piece by piece, her face.
In Winter We Celebrate Spring is a domestic horror laced with dark comedy—a Shirley Jackson-esque story about the quiet violence of trying to belong. No ghosts. No slashers. Just the weight of all the days you forgot to grieve, pressing down until something breaks.
For anyone who has ever tried to recreate a home that no longer exists.

Cast: Geir Thomassen as JOE, Phoebe Alice Ritchie as NORA
Written by: Pendleton King | Directed by: Sushant Nair
Cocaine by Pendleton King is a one-act play, originally published in 1917, that delves into the psychological and emotional turmoil caused by drug addiction. The story has been adapted for the 80s decade, and centres on the character of a former boxer, Joe, once full of potential, whose life spirals downward as he becomes consumed by his addiction to cocaine. He struggles with the overwhelming cravings and the need to escape from reality. Also, caught in the turmoil of growing cocaine addiction is Nora, who wrestles with feelings of love, helplessness, and frustration.
Through these characters, King explores themes of dependency, self-destruction, and the impact of addiction on relationships. King's writing is poignant in its portrayal of the human psyche, and the work is rich in themes of self-deception, moral decay, and the conflict between desire and consequence, making it a powerful commentary on the broader societal issue of drug addiction.

THE LAST DAYS OF TRUMP (A Liberal Fantasy)
- 21:00 22:00
- Etcetera Theatre (map)
It’s 2028 and he’s still here! WTF?
This new play begins with a declining Trump watching the results of the 2028 US election. Yes, it’s set in the future. The Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff is concerned and engages White-House-intern-cum-Chief-of-Staff Morgan to keep Trump occupied developing his Presidential Library. But the library project reinvigorates Trump and fate hands him a chance to achieve the dictatorial status. Will fate intervene for the liberals? Less a partisan political hit-job than a farce about unintended consequences, this uproarious play explores how we all would love to be a dictator.
Cast:
Carly McCann as Morgan Vaughn
John Smeathers as General Reese
Stephanie Lodge as Carla Heart
Chris Dearle as Donald Trump

Ada is 40 years old and has a strong will to live—so much so that she manages to live 10 lives in a single day.
She explores the world to discover new forms of intelligent life, becomes engaged to politicians of
questionable morality, but it’s in the bathtub where the best battles take place—armed with a toilet brush and a frying pan against the Trojan kidnappers.
Ada is 40 years old and has early-onset Alzheimer's.
Pietro is the nurse who chases her, scolds her, feeds her, endures her “abuse”, and takes care of her, along with Max, a pharmaceutical chemist dedicated to marijuana and psychedelic drugs.
Within the white walls of Ada’s room, they live their lives, trying to block out the terrifying screams of other patients and the terrible punishments from the Severely Strict Director.
A tip-off from the neighbor to the Central Inspectorate for Compliance, an autonomous branch of the ultraconservative ruling party, breaks this delicate system.

Jamie Radcliffe: What Are Kippers?

Comedian Jamie Radcliffe is on tour in 2026 with his brand new show, 'What Are Kippers?'. In this hour of stand-up, theatre and poetry, Radcliffe (who has previously appeared on BBC Radio Oxford and reached the quarter-finals of the Musical Comedy Awards) covers a variety of topics from silliness, to Shakespeare, to sadness and back to silliness again in a show that acts as his love letter to comedy, performance and family. And he might even get round to answering the show's titular question...
"[A] magical set. Simply astonishing: imaginative, varied, hilarious, moving, thought-provoking and delivered with perfect stagecraft and aplomb" - Cassie Tillett (Co-Artistic Director, Sewell Barn Theatre Company)

'10A: The Fitting Room' follows Liz: a ‘full-time feminist and part-time bra fitter’.
Based on my personal story, Liz defines herself as a raging feminist. Somewhere between fitting first bras and nursing bras, she ends up in an abusive relationship. That was definitely not on her bingo list.
The lingerie fitting room is an exclusively female space, and through meeting and helping other women, Liz redefines her iden-titty. It's feminist, and despite the heavy themes- a little cheeky. Come take a peek behind the curtain!

Little Lord Fondleroy: Amo, Amas, Amat & All That!

- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Little Lord Fondleroy is a saccharine nightmare in velvet and lace, whose cherubic curls and perfect manners provide foolproof cover for his constant yearnings - primarily for poetry, pleasure, head boys and complete theatrical chaos.In this riotous hour, whirl through a formative annus eroticus at Flippitts Darstardly Boarding School for Badly Behaved Boys, where forbidden desires flourish amidst a sadistic culture of cruelty cultivated by prefects and masters alike. Here, Fondleroy discovers that masculinity and Empire are stitched together by caning, cunning and carefully repressed desire.
Can he retain his innocent charm and boyish over-generosity while the forces around him attempt to stamp all that soppy, frilly, froppy feeling out of him?
