A comic tale of star-crossed love and micro-nation building
TKHP follows Henrio, a man of possibly American origins whose checkered past has seen him graduate from homelessness via prison and the Timpsons in Hammersmith Broadway, to self-ordained King of his own micro-nation. His plans for nationhood are deranged and disconcertingly goodnatured. He’s a man who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. That is, until local Community Support Officer Mandy starts to take issue with his socially irresponsible, treasonous behaviour, and Henrio finds himself - against his every instinct- smitten.
City Academy
15th November
City Academy's Debut Company presents The Minutes, a dark comedy by Tracy Letts. At a town council meeting in idyllic small town America, newbie Mr. Peel tries to keep up with proceedings. But what happened at the last meeting? Why are there no minutes? Where is Mr. Carp? And why has a town with no Cherry Trees been named "Big Cherry"?
Rat Hands Theatre
Friday 20th & Saturday 21st November
"The Gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.” - Albert Camus
But there’s a problem.
Sisyphus has stopped pushing the rock.
Now, it’s up to three goal-focused line managers to get him back on track and at 100% utilisation. Together, they’ll work to assess his morale, safety and wellbeing, ensuring he can maximise his output and champion the core values on which Tartarus was founded.
Following the success of Conjured! and Blocks Falling, Rat Hands Theatre presents Imagine Happy - an absurdist satire about purpose, futility and shareholder value.
Riot Run Productions Presents
25th-28th November
Set within the suffocating walls of a failing London bookshop, Dust is a sharp psychological drama that tracks fractured relationships and a malleable past. Over the course of one rain-soaked evening, the characters grapple with the economic and emotional toll of keeping the past alive. Their memories begin to conflict, exposing deep-seated betrayals and unhealed wounds.
Directed by Isis Clunie (Young and Foolish (short film) - director; Every Time I See a Yellow Car (short film) - choreographer; The Shivers (Polka Theatre, New Diorama) - performer) and written by Oliver Judd as his debut play, this moving production is about books, friendship, loneliness, stagnation and rot. Moving fluidly between the past and the present, Dust asks what remains when truth becomes subjective, relationships are interrogated, and the dust finally begins to settle.
Pointe Revolution Presents
30th Nov - 2nd Dec
Break the rules. Honour the technique. Reclaim the pointe shoe.
Pointe Revolution puts men en pointe and places classical ballet under a new light — celebrating the precision, power and athleticism of pointe technique historically associated with women.
Act I brings classical variations and iconic female repertoire to the stage, danced by men en pointe with virtuosity, discipline and unapologetic queer energy.
Act II breaks the mould. Brand-new choreography collides the elegance of ballet with the pulse of cabaret and the raw freedom of the underground house scene.
With live vocal performances woven into the repertoire, Pointe Revolution is a celebration of ballet’s enduring artistry — and a bold vision of where it can go next.
