ALL THESE PRETTY THINGS: A Musical Memoir by Tracey Yarad at Etcetera Theatre 28 - 31 July
What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write some killer songs and make a show #TrueStory

FRUITCAKE by Jaimee Doyle at The Hope Theatre 7-10 August
This fun, one-woman-show follows Fruitcake, a first year university student who encounters an odd & fascinating classmate. Through a few strange interactions & a lot of misunderstandings they bond over weird movies, trashy cafes & not much studying. But when the girl refuses to tell her anything about her past, things start to get murky in this queer coming of age mystery.

(UN)SHAKESPEAREAN NIGHTMARES at Old Red Lion Theatre 15 - 17 August
Trapped in a purgatory of endless repetition, Shakespeare’s characters rebel, summoning the Bard to demand new stories. This absurdist comedy blends wit, chaos, and unexpected twists, offering a fresh, irreverent take on classic works. Premiering at Camden Fringe’s ShakeFest, it’s a bold reimagining of Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD KNOW by Maria Speight at Barons Court Theatre 22 Aug 5.30pm & 24 Aug 3.30pm
Two strangers thrown together confront the ghosts of their past & the baggage of their present, in a witty & emotional journey that takes the audience into unspoken tensions that shape mother-child relationships. The play blends sharp social commentary with humour & emotive storytelling, offering a raw and compelling look at the baggage we inherit from our parents.
