THEATRE

Counting Sheep
A rousing call to arms by a 15-piece guerrilla-folk punk band. Bolstered by first-hand footage from behind the barricades, Counting Sheep invites you to lose yourself in the events that changed the course of Ukraine’s history. Sing, march, protest, dance, eat, recoil, laugh, cry - experience the revolution on the main floor, including food, or from the balcony seats above. Sung in traditional Ukrainian polyphony, this is an electrifying exploration of human resilience and immersive theatre at its best.

THEATRE

E15
'We want social housing, not social cleansing.' Facing skyrocketing rent and forced relocation out of London, 29 single mothers united to confront Newham Council’s gentrification of their hometown. From the streets of Newham to the Houses of Parliament, this bold and pertinent piece of documentary theatre is adapted from the real-life testimonies of the most under-represented and prominent voices on the political spectrum - providing a truthful retelling of the Focus E15 Campaign, Britain’s housing crisis and how one group of women refused to be marginalised. This is the beginning of the end of the housing crisis.

THEATRE
Broken Fanny
Your firstborn. Are you #lovingit? Put your hand up if you’re not. Why? Everyone else is. Aren't they? If you dare to say it out loud, will you discover you're not alone... or will it be awks? Deranged, stifled and alone, a woman is being held captive. Sort of. Does it count if the captor is your own baby? By day it's Bopping Bunnies, by night she plots her escape. #notlivingthedream. Directed by Blanche McIntyre.

COMEDY

Jimmy McGhie
This is Jimmy's sixth solo hour, so according to best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, that means he's only 9,994 hours away from being brilliant. Not that it's Jimmy's fault it's taking so long. 'Hilarious anecdotes... this is the quintessential comedy show from somebody who knows their craft inside out' ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'Extraordinarily good... Clever, personal, hilarious... It was wonderful... There are few comics I can think of who have the sheer star quality of McGhie... You really should see it' **** (Scotsman).
