We Were Sisters
TheatreComedy
7th July 7pm £11.50
We Were Sisters; a new drama-comedy following two sisters bound by complicated dependency. Celia, an impulsive, endlessly charming younger sister, calls Josie, her loyal yet judgemental elder, after losing her phone recklessly. Irrevocable actions unveil their incompatibility as a result, begging the question; how deeply do we understand the people we love?

He thinks he’s with it and level and everything’s fine. But it’s not. I see it as clear as day. He’s lonely and can’t even admit it. It’s not an easy thing to admit, obviously.
_A Thousand Times Smaller_ is a play about wanting more, feeling small, and staying totally, completely stable.

A Bottle of Something Nice
Theatre
19th July 3pm £14
A Bottle of Something Nice is a poignant and relevant modern relationship story: a one-person show written by Mark Jackson chronicling the life of Rey. Wrestling emotionally with the struggles of a life of promise that delivers so little. The play explores the dynamic of power and subjugation in a relationship played out against a backdrop of serial lying and hostility and a need to be loved. Insecurity, false intention, damage and the inability to be able answer the question “What is love?”. Written by British playwright Mark Jackson, also known for other works such as FUFC, My Time of Life and Scarbados.
Pink Rabbit
Theatre
20th July (9pm) & 27th July (7pm) £11.50
Amna is a good Muslim daughter. Mostly.
At home, she’s modest, obedient. Online, she’s PersianBaby - bold, flirtatious, watched. Hiding her OnlyFans identity from her traditional Pakistani mother, she’s pulled between faith, desire and the lure of attention. Pink Rabbit is a raw, darkly funny solo-play about shame, longing and the cost of being seen.
This Year I Am Going To Die
TheatreComedy
23rd July 7pm £10/7.50
You're cordially invited to the funniest funeral in all of fringe theatre! When his latest panic attack convinces him his time has come, Jojo embarks on a chaotic journey of what it means to die, and most importantly, what it means to live. A hopeful existential comedy about mortality and mental health
The Missing Eyes
Theatre
24th, 25th & 26th July 7pm £13.50/£11.50
A suspect. A witness. Two inspectors at odds. The case seems closed — until questions about the victim’s missing eyes unravel everything. Inside the interrogation room, truth fractures, power shifts, and a new, more dangerous violence begin to emerge.
Hamish Lloyd Barnes: Stage Presence (Preview)
Theatre
29th July 9pm £ 10
This is a ghost story. Told by ghosts. A voice largely underrepresented in the genre.
The Ableforth Theatre is haunted. It will be demolished tonight. But first! One hell of a show. Grab an overpriced Häagen-Dazs and witness Hamish Lloyd Barnes’ (Disney+, Channel 4, BBC Radio 4) hilarious character comedy show starring whispering curtains, the pouting ghosts of leading men and scariest of all - musical theatre kids.
