Lava By James Fritz. An amateur production by arrangement with 'Nick Hern Books', produced by Bare Bones Theatre Company.
A small asteroid has hit the capital city. Thousands have been displaced. And in a town far away, a young man called Vin is finding it hard to talk. The only person who seems to notice is Rach, who resolves to find out what's troubling him and help him find his voice again.
But when Rach's family take in an articulate and charismatic survivor of the asteroid incident, Vin's silence is no longer her first priority. How does it feel when the suffering of others seems more legitimate than our own?

Set in the communal room of a grief retreat with no therapist in sight, the piece asks: what happens when strangers are left to navigate their loss together?
As tensions rise and defences fall, humour slips through the cracks. It is raw, awkward, and deeply human. Devised collaboratively, ‘That’s Life’ explores how grief is woven through the human experience, and questions if it ever truly leaves us.
Age Restrictions : 16+
Trigger and Content warnings : Discussions of death and substance abuse. Reference of miscarriage. Strong Language.

In the not too distant future, civilization has collapsed. From the ashes, one man rises, in search of purpose – an advertising copywriter. And he's got no one left to pitch but himself. Now to save his own sanity, he'll have to rebrand the apocalypse. But the end of the world is a tough sell.

Comedy Gold Diggers is bringing a distinctive blend of scripted comedy to Camden’s Etcetera Theatre.
Performed and recorded live, Comedy Gold Diggers will showcase some of the most exciting voices in comedy, featuring a curated selection of scripts from their open callout along with original pieces.
Presented as rehearsed readings with live audio production and support from a critically-acclaimed comedian host, the night promises to deliver unforgettable comedy gold.
The project was founded by London-based writer/comedian James Murphy, with the aim of creating an alternative platform for comedy writers to hear their work come to life in front of an audience. Murphy has previously won the British Comedy Guide’s Pro Performance Award, and is a multiple-time stand-up competition finalist. Credits include hit Edinburgh Fringe shows “2 Weird Guys Who Are Gay (!!!!)”, and Just the Tonic’s “Red Rum: Glue or Glory”.
The pieces will be directed by Dom Stephens, a Brighton Fringe Award Nominated, Old Vic trained director. Recent plays include Liam Scanlon’s “Attachment Theory”, which sold out consecutive runs at The Canal Cafe Theatre and The Bread & Roses Theatre, and Mike Bartlett’s “An Intervention”, which became the best reviewed play of The Space Theatre’s artistic director’s inaugural season. His long-running, award-winning podcast series, Spieling The Beans, has seen him interview some of the world’s greatest storytellers, including Dame Judi Dench, George Clooney, Sir Rufus Norris and Sir Salman Rushdie. He’s one of Podcast Magazine’s ‘40 Under 40’.

Georgina Thomas: Hysterical Soprano
- 19:00 20:00
- Etcetera Theatre (map)
Some might say Georgina is a narcissist, but she prefers the term, “Soprano”.
Trapped in the echo chamber of own vibrato, she is forced to confront the worst thing possible: herself. In this, her magnum opus, she is bringing both sides of her conflicting personality together to make her solo debut in this one woman show.
Georgina (Soho Rising, Funny Women & NextUp Comedy Award Shortlist & ½ of The Scotsman's ‘Best Duos at the Fringe’ ★★★★) is bringing what The Spectator called “Satirical Gold” ★★★★ and Everything Theatre describes as “effortless comedy timing” ★★★★ and what her singing teacher describes as “loud” to this new hour of theatrical comedy with a classical twist. Directed and fine-tuned by Will Jackson (Soho Six, English National Touring Opera, BBC Arts New Creative). ~

What happens when a Third Culture Kid ex-teacher stops running and sits in ten days of solitary meditative silence? Follow Lucy (half-English, half-Turkish, raised in Indonesia) as she sheds her teacher skin for the arts, forced to face the void in the process. With a late ADHD diagnosis, Lucy mastered the chameleon art of blending in, but adaptation has a visceral cost: the fawn response. Moving between the classroom and internal chaos, this solo show explores the mirage of insatiable human greed and seeking groundedness externally. A lyrical search for meaning, equanimity and an inner home.
Written and performed by Lucy Idil Jordan

London, 1918.
When wartime hysteria pillories Oscar Wilde's Salomé for corrupting the nation with homosexuality, Robert Ross – the late author’s literary executor, devoted friend, and "first boy" (or so he believes) – is once again made to defend the legacy he sacrificed his life to protect. As courtroom circus shatters the memories he has spent decades curating, the line between devotion and delusion begins to blur.
This is a story about saints who are canonised by love and fools who sacrificed themselves for it.
Oxford New Writing Festival 2025 Runner-Up Best Play.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Distressing or potentially triggering themes, Scenes of a sexual nature, Strong language/swearing, References to Victorian homophobia, misogyny, war, death, bereavement, grooming, mental illness and unhealthy relationships.

Harrie's workday ends like any other... until her journey home takes a sudden, unthinkable turn. In the following days, she's swept into a system of police reports, questions and courtrooms-demanding clarity from a memory that isn't there.
Not just a story about trauma; it's a darkly-comic odyssey through the absurd machinery of justice, where truth is slippery and certainty feels out of reach. When reality hits like a shower of shit, sometimes the only thing left to fight for is your version of the story: whether it can be proven or not.

A chair. A mentor. A handful of songs.
From Rome to New York, Los Angeles to London, The Seat of Me is an intimate solo performance that journeys through memory, migration, and the search for belonging. Blending autobiographical storytelling with fragments of Edith Piaf's music, Giulia A. Cryan reflects on artistic ambition, first love, and the moments that shape who we become.
Raw, funny, and deeply personal, The Seat of Me asks a simple but powerful question: what happens when we finally sit with our past so we can stand in our life?

Set behind a small-town Texas bar,
Lone Star follows a swaggering Vietnam veteran, his devoted younger brother, and a late-night drinking session that gradually spins into something far messier than idle storytelling. What begins as a rowdy, funny portrait of small-town life turns into a cascade of awkward revelations, bruised egos, and unexpected complications that keep shifting the ground beneath the characters' feet.

Ten years after Sarah Sinclair’s fall, her family gather in her childhood bedroom for her 28th birthday. Sarah is still there, suspended between life and death, while her mother, aunt, brother, nurse and childhood best friend circle around the question nobody wants to answer: who gets to pull the plug?
Set in an old Surrey family home, Just Fall Over is a darkly comic play about grief, class, denial, family performance, and the brutal awkwardness of saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time.
For fans of Inside No. 9, Fleabag, and family gatherings where everyone is pretending not to hate each other.

An engaging drama of disguise, adventure, and conspiracy set between London and Paris, during the height of the French Revolution in 1792. Combining drama and humour, this is a production of pure escapism and suspense.
In 1792, at the height of the French Revolution, in Paris, aristocrats destined for the Guillotine, begin to be rescued, by a mysterious figure, who always eludes capture. This rescuer can never be found or identified, except by little slips of paper featuring the image of a small English flower, the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Meanwhile, in London, Sir Percy Blakeney; who is widely known to be the leader of London fashion, and a carefree, whimsical fop, marries Marguerite, a beautiful, intelligent French actress and friend of the revolutionary government in France, while Citizen Chauvelin, an agent of the French government, arrives in London, seeking the identity of the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel.
This theatre production combines adventure, and humour, and in a fast-moving, entertaining period drama based on the novel by Baroness Orczy and including wider historical and cultural research of the time. It features a stunning collection of roles for all actors involved.

Humankind is often arrogant and self-centred, understanding others solely through their own perspective. We yearn for unity, yet overlook a fundamental truth: two whirlpools can only merge when both their direction and velocity satisfy exacting conditions.
Tonight, the light in the rented flat's bathroom flickered out. That loving couple seemed to be arguing about something. The man insisted he loved her deeply, yet to her, it felt otherwise. I knew that woman must love him profoundly, but why couldn't he sense it? I saw two whirlpools beside the drain, spinning and spinning, yet they simply wouldn't merge...
The audience witnesses their quarrel, their wounds, their bloodshed, yet cannot simply judge right from wrong. Here, love is both tender and razor-sharp.
Through intensely concentrated spatial storytelling, we aim to immerse the audience within an emotional vortex, prompting a profound re-examination of ‘relationships’.

Winnie is dying (slowly – which is the worst way to go). She is despondent, miserable and fed up. She has isolated herself from her friends and family, but she is not alone. Eliza is the new top-model robot companion-carer, who looks after Winnie. Through God, pain, and Love Island, the two attempt to understand each other. These are two (sort of) beings who are desperate to love and be loved, in whatever form that takes. ‘Sick Dog’ asks questions about what it means to be human, the acceptance of death in a world that fears it and our future as maybe not the only creatures with the capacity to love.
