You Won’t Help Me

  • 19:30  21:30
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
After two hugely successful runs in 2024, 'You Won't Help Me' is back.

’You Won‘t Help Me’ truly is a play like no other. This is not just a play about domestic violence. The script was written by Phoenix Benham, who has created the play, based on her own experiences from three separate abusive relationships.

’You Won’t Help Me’ doesn’t just tackle domestic violence, it forces the audience to be completely immersed within the lives of the leading couple, watching their relationship evolve, and all of the very real situations they find themselves in.

This play is not just about the lead couple though, ’You Won’t Help Me’ also focuses on the people closest to the couple - Their best friends and allows them to speak for how society often reacts to domestic violence relationships.

’You Won’t Help Me’ is a captivating, raw, very real look into domestic violence relationships, and how they REALLY happen, aside from what you usually see them depicted as on the TV.

This play will make you reassess how you, and society thinks about, reacts to, and feels about Domestic Violence.

Knowing that you’re watching someone’s real life experiences, in front of your eyes, really hits home just how serious this subject matter is.

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.

Unshamed - An erotic documentary and live "unshaming" 

  • 19:30  22:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

When Marc, a sex therapist, meets Koldo, a brutish dominant porn star, he feels compelled to be on screen too.

Within moments, he is filmed.

Objectified. Degraded. Owned.

Why did he want this?

As a therapist, Marc creates fantasies in which his clients find healing.

He’s guided clients through fantasies such as rape, gangbang, incest, and kidnapping—helping them realize every part of them is worthy of love.

Unapologetic, uncensored,
