It is Christmas Eve and 'Rose,' a woman in a red
dress, awakes to find that she has no memory of
who or where she is. As she gradually weaves
the threads of memory together, a dark & violent
picture begins to emerge. Compelled to leave
for fear of her life Rose begins to pack... but
it's dark outside & the house is full of strange
noises. Will she escape, before her attacker
returns? Or is he still in the House?

Comedy
Following an onstage scandal, James retires
from stand-up comedy, only to be offered a
surprise comeback gig at a secret London
location. Accepting, he finds himself plunged into
a wild and sordid gathering of the British political
class. It's the toughest gig of his career and one
he may not escape from with his life.
Absurd political storytelling from Max Turner
Prize finalist James Harris ('assured stage
presence', TNT Comedy), perfect for those
who like their comedy satirical, outrageous and
just plain bizarre. An andidote to our ongoing
national meltdown.

Spoken Word
A musical AND a film about Queen and not
ONE show about The Fall? That's bobbins! The
Church of The Fall is my attempt to do justice to
the late genius Mark E. Smith and his group The
Fall. Expect music, love and laughs. It's about
the need to believe in something 'greater'; that
thing is The Fall. You don't have to love The Fall
to enjoy my show, you just need to love music.
Come one, come all, to the Church Of The Fall
(ex-Fall members FREE ENTRY!)
What do you get when you combine a wedding
ring, burlesque and Pacman? Well, if you're
Lizzie Boone, you might get therapy...

with lemonade and a bit of burlesque.
With lively voice-overs bringing to life an array of
characters from soothing therapist Marie to wild
child Debz, amongst others, this play is bursting
with soul and humanity.
