Hedda Gabler

  • 18:45  20:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

Hedda Gabler, the daughter of General Gabler, is in a marriage with a man she hates, in a house she despises. The once extraordinary woman is now constrained by the confines of a new, undefinable space. This new adaptation by Kyle Goeken takes Hedda outside its setting into a new space, is stripped back and simmering with unresolved tensions.


Ibsen wrote about psychology in the 1800s before it was an idea. Audiences at the time were baffled by this and couldn’t fathom a person behaving in such a way. How does Hedda exist today? You’ve seen her before.

CORSET STORY: Fun cabaret with provocative songs and physical theatre.

  • 15:00  16:00
  • 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)

Corset Story is a fun cabaret in which SELF&SOSSI explore the restraint and liberation imposed by corsetry through provocative love songs, piano, ukuleles, stories and physical theatre. Throughout history, corsets have been a significant piece of clothing, representing a void between patriarchy and feminism.

Audience feedback from performances at The Merlin Theatre, Frome and The Glitch, London.

"Self & Sossi have chosen the genre of Cabaret Opera as a container to bring together their different performance disciplines. Both performers have a passion for challenging gender stereotypes and promoting gender fluidity. At first glance the corset may be seen as a symbol of constraint and anti-feminism yet through the facets of constriction liberation can appear. Self & Sossi explore the bigger picture of gender in balance through touching autoethnography and their own physicality."

"Corset Story, an original piece of theatre written and performed by by Marina Sossi and Susie Self, is a kaleidoscope of original music, movement, historical vignette and personal reflection, bound together by the central theme of how the corset-like restraint of femininity-myths have shaped women's lives, and their roles in the creative industries. "

"Corset Story is richly inventive moving, funny, enlightening and thought-provoking Its heroines: performance artist Marina Sossi and composer/conductor Susie Self, are remarkably talented artists, who’ve unlaced their corsets, broken the mould, and dared to be all that they are."

In this extraordinary play, a "room" and a "cage" and "people" and "captive birds" all become confused until a dramatic climax in which we suddenly see reality.

Six women live in a locked room, each absorbed in her own petty interest and in placating the "Mistress" who takes care of them. They are singing, dancing and gossiping…

Then a "Wild One" is thrust in among them. She talks of breaking out of the room to find freedom. She troubles the others who remain secure in their cage,

and they all join against her in the shattering conclusion to this unforgettable play that offers eight actresses an unusual opportunity.

The Language Of Roses

  • 21:00  22:00
  • Etcetera Theatre (map)

 The Language of Roses is not just a show—it is a living poem, a quiet storm, a garden of emotion waiting to be felt. A Spoken Word Poetry and Storytelling experience, it leads you through an unforgettable journey shared by two powerful voices: Solomon Prempeh and Tifany Marsah.

 Together, they weave a world where every word is deliberate, every silence full, and every rose—spoken or unspoken—carries meaning. Their writing tugs at the heartstrings and cultivates an atmosphere of safety, peace, and raw humanity.

 The performance unfolds through a seamless blend of joint pieces, carousel-style storytelling, and moments where each poet steps into their own spotlight—inviting the audience into the sacred intimacy of their individual expression.

 Accompanied by a live pianist, the show deepens into something more than performance—it becomes communion. Music and poetry intertwine to unlock a language beyond words. One of emotion. Of memory. Of roses.

 Come closer. The roses are speaking. Listen.

Sketchburn: a scratch night for sketch comedy films

  • 19:00  20:00

It’s the return of SKETCHBURN: the sketches of tomorrow, today! 

(And by ‘today’, I mean 'Tuesday, 17th June’.)

A ragtag group of comedy writers, performers and ne’er-do-wells present works-in-progress of their latest sketch comedy films. The aim: to bring the feedback loop of live comedy to filmed comedy sketches, at every stage of the process:

  • 📚 The Readings: staged readings of brand-new sketch scripts
  • 🎬 The Rough Cuts: screenings of rough cuts fresh from the edit
  • 🍿 The Showcase: screenings of finished sketches, ready to go

As well as listening out for what makes you laugh, there’ll be space for more direct feedback too – so you can help us decide which bits to keep and which bits to burn forever. 

So if you’re a fellow comedy creator who loves dissecting the metaphorical frog, or a comedy fan who wants to peek behind the metaphorical curtain, then SKETCHBURN is the (non-metaphorical) night for you!

(And if you want to skip the booking fee, you can call the box office directly: 020 7482 4857)
