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

People can usually tell the difference between fiction and reality…but then again, this isn’t your usual play. 

Hannah & Daniel aren’t in love, they just want to know how it feels. So they’re putting on a play to examine a ‘real’ relationship: where it begins and ends; why it falls apart; and what happens next…The question is, where does the story end, and their story begin?

After a sell-out debut, UNLOVING is back for 3 nights at The Etcetera Theatre on 9th-11th April. Get your tickets before they're gone...

Starring Hannah Chandler & Daniel Krmpotic

HOUSE OF SHAME

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

Airing the dirty laundry, one stained panty at a time.

House of Shame is an electric show about the dirty things women are told to keep to themselves. Framed by the experience of growing up as a girl in Brazil, the show is, ultimately, a collective experiment in raw vulnerability. Join in for a liberating journey through a messy, irreverent, tropical ritual of soap and sweat.

*You can expect cringy memories, ass-shaking and slutty nuns all in one little show, performed by one little Brazilian.

Marquis de Sade, An Uncomfortable Evening 

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

The Marquis de Sade gathers a select group of guests for an evening of pleasure, control and revelation. But as the night unfolds, certainty fractures and appearances become dangerously unreliable.

A psychological thriller where desire, power and morality intertwine, and the audience finds itself uncomfortably implicated.

Following an international journey, this acclaimed production has been described by critics as “a masterclass in performance”.

An immersive and provocative theatrical experience where the body leads the action, and the text emerges as its consequence.

AGE RESTRICTION / CONTENT WARNINGS:
16+ This performance contains strong language, violence, and references to sexual themes.

Don't Panic

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

 The year is 2108. Two stagehands, Mani and Kid, get stuck in a rundown New York City theatre as part of a standard nuclear warfare drill. As the threat of the world's end closes in on them, they debate the purpose of living in a world that’s poisoned the human experience, seeking answers to an impossible question: what is the point of trying if there’s nothing left to live for?

 Don’t Panic is a bold, two-hander dark comedy that explores the purpose of living within a society that’s doomed to fail. Set in a corrupt, near future dystopia, our two characters take us on a journey full of comedy, drama, and magical realism.

ACTING AMERICAN (Etcetera Performers Lab)

  • 20:30  22:30
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

 A convincing American accent isn't just about the sounds — it lives in your body, your rhythm, your presence. If the physicality doesn't match, casting directors will spot it instantly, no matter how good your vowels are. With more American productions shooting across Europe and the UK than ever before, a native-sounding American characterisation is no longer a bonus — it's a essential skill that puts you in the room for roles that are literally filming on your doorstep. In this class, you'll work with strong American TV scenes to build a fully embodied American character that feels authentic from the ground up. You'll be pre-cast ahead of the first session, with the option to deepen the same scene in the second class or take on something new.

Luckily, he is trapped in this one space; his space, and whether he likes it or not, will smile again.This performance blends, puppetry, clowning, live music,spoken word, Kantor’s ‘room’, material play, silliness and heart to explore the relationship between someone and their past and the slow, painful path of going down the rabbit hole of your own mind.
