Exhuming Emily

  • 19:00  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

A lonely night by the icy waters of the Mealt Falls, the Isle of Skye.

Ex-crematorium technician Monty Bulmer lies fifty feet below the corpse of Emily, who hangs frozen in the icy falls. His legs are broken, his energy is spent, and his hopes of exhuming the body from the ice are ever diminishing. It would take a miracle to exhume Emily. Tonight, he will pray for one.

Over the course of this 45 minute monologue, Bulmer grapples with his relationship with God, his father, but hardest of all, finally faces the skeletons in his own closet. Nothing is sacred. Don’t miss Exhuming Emily this February.

Entre Nous

  • 21:00  22:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

ENTRE NOUS

by Kay Kassanda

What do we owe the people who raised us?

What do we owe the people who broke us?

And what do we owe each other—entre nous—when love and survival collide?

Entre Nous is a searing, intimate new play about two Congolese sisters brought together after years of silence.

Set within the confines of a therapy room and park benches across London, Entre Nous explores sisterhood, displacement, trauma, foster care, and the dangerous comfort of silence. With razor-sharp dialogue, moments of unexpected warmth, and unflinching emotional candour, the play asks whether reconciliation is always the answer—or whether survival sometimes means letting go.

Tender, funny, devastating, and fiercely human, Entre Nous is a story about love in its messiest form, the scars we inherit, and the courage it takes to stay when walking away might be easier.

Songs of Freedom: Stairway to Heaven 

  • 17:00  18:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

"The world changes; I don't. The years go by, and I’m still looking perfect. With my golden hair, my golden clothes, with my golden smile."

This is the story of a perfect woman. Her whole life, she just followed the instructions society – and her mum – dictated to help her achieve a happy and successful life. "A perfect life."

But... was it perfect?

Away from her dreams and what she could have become if she'd had the chance to take decisions on her own, she's now recounting her story while she can remember it, alone with the shadows of her past, and listening to a song she listened to on the radio a long time ago, and that helped her to endure her life... because songs are a refuge for lost souls.

Stairway to Heaven is a one-woman show written and directed by Mexican Award-winning playwright Isabel Quiroz and performed by Thelma Osorio Euan.

This play is part of "Songs of Freedom" a series of monologues written by Isabel Quiroz where each story entitled after a song, gives voice to a silenced character. Inspired in real life people.

You/We tells the story of the artist Gluck — sharp-tongued, stylish, and utterly unwilling to behave. Living in open defiance of traditional gender rules, sexual silence, and polite society, Gluck’s life is a whirlwind of love affairs, artistic ambition, heartbreak, and reinvention. 

Witty, intimate, and quietly radical, this solo play explores the fierce joy of self-invention and the cost of insisting on truth in a world that would rather you stayed convenient.

  • 19:00  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Irene and Arjyll have the same last name but they’re not related.

Although, with the way Irene’s mother Ignacia is acting, they might as well be sisters. Tita Iggy is, after all, president of the Arjyll’s Angels Loyola Heights Chapter, a local self-organised group made of middle-aged Titas keen on supporting Arjyll's emerging showbiz career after winning the latest season of Pinoy Big Brother.

Irene knows it's not Arjyll's fault that her relationship with her mother is the way it is but it's hard to remember that sometimes especially in the face of the obvious favouritism.

Written by Glerren Bangalan, Mother Ignacia is a heartfelt comedy about learning how to advocate for yourself.

SadoMusical 

  • 19:00  20:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

Art is pain. Pain is art. Two “definitely not masochistic” artists take on the challenge of a lifetime: to create musical comedy with feeling—while feeling the real pain of electrocution.

In what may be their worst idea yet, veteran musical improvisers Lee Apsey ('CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation,' 'Your Flaws: The Improvised Musical') and Jayda Fogel ('Bird & Tax Collector,' '¡Horario Estelar!') weave hilarious and sincere songs, sketches, and stories with the inspiration of the audience and the threat of being shocked, shackled, dunked, and beaten with a stick.

You’ll be shocked, and so will the players—literally.

From the award-winning co-creator of multiple Edinburgh Fringe sell-out hit 'CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation.'

“Astonishingly funny… brilliant concept.” ★★★★★ GJD REVIEWS

“Apsey and Fogel turn painful displays into some of the funniest improvised comedy you can find. You will be begging for more, and more, and more.” FRINGE REVIEW

WINNER - The Comedy Award - Colchester Fringe 2024

WINNER - Best Improv/Musical - Leicester Comedy Festival 2023

NOMINATED - Simply the Best - Gothenburg Fringe 2024

Circus of Healing - from Playboy to The Holy Queerit 

  • 15:00  16:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

It's a wild ride. After internationally touring the “cathartic, creative, and healing” performance "Dad, Playboy, & Me...Not Your Average Slideshow" storyteller A.G. Norton is coming back to London with a totally new hour of cosmic transmissions, hilarious insights, and of course the shamanic Pussy Drum. AG's gone from being a social worker in Dagenham, to interviewing Playboy Bunnies, to being called a bubble cult leader. All in loving service to the divine power of the Holy Queerit. The work has been referred to as "deeply blasphemous" by a seminarian Catholic priest on a bench in Times Square, which honestly is a great review and the show isn't even polished yet.

The Circus of Healing has one destination - collective LIBERATION. Join the congregation, bubble blessings. 🫧🫧

Heaving Petting, Heavier Blankets 

  • 21:00  22:00

Can you seduce someone, even if they know you sleep with a weighted blanket?

That’s the question we all ask, whilst laying alone under our "Silent Night Washable Weighted Blanket" with removable cover. Now available in grey.

In his latest absurd outing, silly and surreal comedian Ben O’sullivan will try desperately to avoid talking about his intimacy issues, whilst allowing the full burden of his romantic failings to land on the, already heavy, weighted blanket.

Similar to a bed at your nans house, this show consists of many incomprehensible layers. We find out if pigeons are underrated and consider the potential jeopardy of getting a piercing at 31. Could it be a cry for help?

Together, we will finally uncover the truth hidden beneath the tog ratings.

'Glitter, Guilt and Good Intentions' invites you to a frazzled rather than filtered celebration of self-improvement. Blending humour, parodies and musical theatre Susan Grant and Joni de Winter bring you laughter, killer harmonies and a hint of self depreciation. This show proves that perfection is overrated and re-inventing yourself can be just as fun as it is frustrating.

CRYING INTO BINS

  • 19:00  20:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

From the food waste bin into which her friend had a nervous breakdown, Lia tries to make sense of the twenty years she spent serving food and drink. Crying into Bins chronicles tales collected over two decades and takes shape as a long-form spoken word poem. But expect a little more than one woman and a microphone. This is a fast-paced and funny poetical exploration of mental health, societal structures, terrible rage and bittersweet acceptance.

“I have spent my adult life shovelling leftover potato fondants into my mouth in the vain hope that the sheer volume might make up for the lack of company, posh dress and dinner music they were designed for”

Strong

  • 19:00  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Strong

Written & Directed by Maria Georgiou

Strong is the powerful debut work of British-Cypriot writer and director Maria Georgiou, featuring an all-British-Cypriot creative team.

Based on a true story, Strong is a one-woman show that delves into the complexities of loss, faith, grief, joy, hope, and resilience in the face of adversity. Through the eyes of Elena, a British Greek Cypriot single mother of two, the audience is taken on an emotional yet bittersweet journey, filled with both humour and heartbreak.

Elena’s world is turned upside down when her 15-year-old daughter Lia is diagnosed with cancer. Thrust into a new and unfamiliar reality, she struggles to juggle her spiralling career, endless hospital visits, and the demands of her well-intentioned but often overwhelming Greek Cypriot family — all during the uncertainty of a global pandemic.

To process these overwhelming events, Elena takes to walking. As she walks, she shares her fears and stories, sometimes through her thoughts and other times through voice-notes to her best friend Charoulla. The emotional weight of her journey is symbolised by the growing number of objects she carries on stage, representing the cultural, personal, and emotional burdens she shoulders.

Despite the heaviness of her circumstances, Strong is ultimately a celebration of the human capacity to endure, adapt, and find hope even in the darkest moments. It reminds us that there is strength in vulnerability, love, laughter, and simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Through a Judas Window

  • 18:30  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Through a Judas Window

Based on the novel A Mind Prone to Evil by P.S. Lynch

"All things can corrupt when a mind is prone to evil."

Step into Courtroom 600 at Nuremberg, where Hermann Göring faces justice—and himself. Through a Judas Window brings history’s most notorious war criminal vividly to life: brilliant yet brutal, charming yet monstrous, a man who reveals how terrifyingly ordinary evil can be.

Through gripping dialogue, shifting perspectives, and haunting imagery, the play invites its audience to peer through the "Judas window"—a narrow lens into power, vanity, and the fragile veneer of civilisation. At once historical and disturbingly modern, this is theatre that refuses to let us look away.

Based on P.S. Lynch’s acclaimed novel A Mind Prone to Evil—praised as “extraordinary… beautifully written and exceptionally well-researched” (Susan Ronald, Hitler’s Art Thief). This bold new play melds meticulous research with unsettling theatrical flair. Expect haunting imagery, dark humour, and unsettling truths.

This is not safe history. It is a confrontation—between past and present, between spectacle and truth, between what we want to believe about evil and the uncomfortable reality of how ordinary it can be.

Fringe theatre at its boldest: provocative, unflinching, and disturbingly relevant.

Two Strangers and a Clipboard

  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Sam and Gary are not friends. They would likely never be friends. But could they be allies to each other?
They exist in a world where, depending on which day of the week you are born, you are assigned as a Corpus or a Creare, which dictates the careers you can have and the way you can live your life.
Only a weary, stubborn Judge can reassign you if you are unhappy with your given identity.
Gary, however, has brought his court hearing on himself through road rage. For a righteous cause, he insists.
When the Chaperone registers them on their clipboard, the waiting begins.

Through a Judas Window

  • 18:30  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Through a Judas Window

Based on the novel A Mind Prone to Evil by P.S. Lynch

"All things can corrupt when a mind is prone to evil."

Step into Courtroom 600 at Nuremberg, where Hermann Göring faces justice—and himself. Through a Judas Window brings history’s most notorious war criminal vividly to life: brilliant yet brutal, charming yet monstrous, a man who reveals how terrifyingly ordinary evil can be.

Through gripping dialogue, shifting perspectives, and haunting imagery, the play invites its audience to peer through the "Judas window"—a narrow lens into power, vanity, and the fragile veneer of civilisation. At once historical and disturbingly modern, this is theatre that refuses to let us look away.

Based on P.S. Lynch’s acclaimed novel A Mind Prone to Evil—praised as “extraordinary… beautifully written and exceptionally well-researched” (Susan Ronald, Hitler’s Art Thief). This bold new play melds meticulous research with unsettling theatrical flair. Expect haunting imagery, dark humour, and unsettling truths.

This is not safe history. It is a confrontation—between past and present, between spectacle and truth, between what we want to believe about evil and the uncomfortable reality of how ordinary it can be.

Fringe theatre at its boldest: provocative, unflinching, and disturbingly relevant.

The Songs My Mother Used to Sing by Fran Isherwood

  • 19:00  20:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

The Songs My Mother Used to Sing by Fran Isherwood

Poems, a monologue or two, and the (very) odd song including some written using wordplayful constraints such as anagrams and antonyms, address the vagaries of the present while sporting the reading glasses of the past.  Warning: May contain puns.

A playfully humorous and occasionally moving spoken word show that incorporates poetry, a monologue or two, and the (very) odd song. Were you sung to as a child? Did you sing lullabies to your own children? Were traditional folk songs passed down through generations? Perhaps there’s a song you learned at school that has stuck with you despite (or perhaps because of) ear-piercing renditions on the recorder. This show will look at how these songs reflect the mood of the time, whether the lyrics are still relevant, and if they help to shape who we are. Although looking back through the medium of old songs, it allows us to look at now. Some of the poems were developed through a variety of sometimes daft methods and ‘Translations’ including Anagrams, Predictive Text, and Scrabble.

Handala (Women writers festival)

  • 13:00  14:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

What happens when we dare to step into the life of the “other” with an open heart that sings a song of our shared humanity?

2024 Hollywood Fringe 6-time nominee and winner of the Best Solo Performance Award, Handala is a solo show written and performed by Myriam Ali-Ahmad.

Writer and performer Ali-Ahmad has interviewed Palestinians that have lived in their homeland, about life experiences that, to them, represent Palestine and highlight the beauty of its people, land and culture. Seeking to honor Palestinian life and voices, she has worked to compile these stories into a solo show with the direction of Valeria Muñoz Reyes.

Through the arts of drama, poetry, song and storytelling, Handala takes audiences on a journey in Palestine, sailing from one Palestinian to another, navigating the ups and downs of the land, through stories of love, life and resistance, and telling the real story of Palestine, in the eyes of its dignified people. A celebration of Palestine and Palestinian life, this tour de force is a call for action to preserve such beauty.

The show premiered at the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival where it had a successful sold-out run of 5 shows. Handala’s next moved to the 2024 Cannonball Festival and the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, followed by the United Solo Festival in New York in October - the world’s largest solo show festival. Now, Handala makes its UK debut alongside the Women Writers’ Festival!

Ali-Ahmad says: “For so long, Palestinians specifically and Arabs in general have been reduced to either victims or terrorists, a narrative that has been reinforced by the horrors in Gaza and the West Bank. We want to challenge and shift this narrative all while introducing the public to the rich and beautiful culture and people of Palestine, reminding us what we are fighting for. In and of itself, this project is an act of resistance against cultural erasure. Against those who wish to destroy our stories and our history.”

Strong (women writers festival)

  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Strong

Written & Directed by Maria Georgiou

Strong is the powerful debut work of British-Cypriot writer and director Maria Georgiou, featuring an all-British-Cypriot creative team.

Based on a true story, Strong is a one-woman show that delves into the complexities of loss, faith, grief, joy, hope, and resilience in the face of adversity. Through the eyes of Elena, a British Greek Cypriot single mother of two, the audience is taken on an emotional yet bittersweet journey, filled with both humour and heartbreak.

Elena’s world is turned upside down when her 15-year-old daughter Lia is diagnosed with cancer. Thrust into a new and unfamiliar reality, she struggles to juggle her spiralling career, endless hospital visits, and the demands of her well-intentioned but often overwhelming Greek Cypriot family — all during the uncertainty of a global pandemic.

To process these overwhelming events, Elena takes to walking. As she walks, she shares her fears and stories, sometimes through her thoughts and other times through voice-notes to her best friend Charoulla. The emotional weight of her journey is symbolised by the growing number of objects she carries on stage, representing the cultural, personal, and emotional burdens she shoulders.

Despite the heaviness of her circumstances, Strong is ultimately a celebration of the human capacity to endure, adapt, and find hope even in the darkest moments. It reminds us that there is strength in vulnerability, love, laughter, and simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Below ground in a large bunker remains the Mitchell family, chosen by God and by circumstance, they unite together as a family during the pivotal brink of war. Everyone has secrets, will the righteous truth unfold, or will lies and manipulation take their toll. Belief controls this family; Paul believes he is speaking to God, Lauren believes she deserves a voice, Charlie believes he has the power, Gethsemane believes she is just a means to an end, and Bethany believes she can escape her pain. We invite the audience to listen, watch, and read between it all. To find their own ending, decide their own truth, and trust in their gut instinct.

In a hole in the woods, a young woman awakens, having fled a life she can no longer bear. As she becomes a mother, she grapples with the collapse of the world around her and slowly becomes a vessel for Mother Earth, delivering a message to humanity about the consequences of overconsumption, environmental destruction, and societal neglect.

Part psychological odyssey, part poetic reflection, The Hole is a one-woman show that confronts audiences with urgent questions: What legacy are we leaving for future generations? How do we care for the vulnerable in a world saturated by media and consumerism?

Written and performed by Poppy Winter, directed by BAFTA Breakthrough winner Holly Reddaway and produced by Next Minute Productions, this one-woman show is unflinching, innovative, and socially conscious. This immersive performance transforms grief, trauma, and revelation into a call to action—a mirror for our times and a meditation on responsibility, connection, and the fragile beauty of life.

Her uncompromising art documentary style music, film and writing is released as seasons, and her latest, ‘Collect the Hearts’ looks at ways to get lost to ultimately find ourselves, in an age

of technological reliance, economic structures, and land grabs. It explores the scope for freedom for the outsider character who seeks personal autonomy and mental freedom with likeminded travellers. Is the lived experience of the individual, the only way back to truth, peace and pleasure for the whole community?
