Arcola Theatre | London, EN
Distant Memories of the Near Future is a piece of multimedia storytelling-theatre featuring projection, video, audio and puppetry to tell five interweaving tales about love, technology and artificial intelligence.
Transferring from a hit Edinburgh Fringe run, it’s written and performed by David Head (Winner, Best New Writing, Buxton Fringe ’23, Unwanted Objects) and directed by Laura Killeen (Godot is a Woman, Jeezus).
This one-person show explores the nature of connection in a world where commercialisation and consumerism have run wild.

<h2>Welcome to the Arcola Theatre</h2>

Since its establishment, it has functioned as an important platform for launching many world-famous theatre actors, playwrights, and artists.

<h2>History of the Theatre</h2>
The Arcola Theatre was originally situated in an Arcola Street textile factory but had to move to the current Ashwin Street location in 2011. It has been integral to the British theatre landscape for two decades, enjoying an eventful journey with many milestones over the years. The theatre hosted The Factory Girls by Frank McGuiness on its fifth anniversary. It celebrated its move to its current location with a premiere of The Painter by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. The awards it received include two Peter Brook Empty Space Awards, and the 2003 and 2006 Time Out Live Awards.
A co-production of Mojo Mickey by playwright Owen McCafferty was the first of the theatre’s West End transfers to the Trafalgar Studios. In 2007, the theatre also hosted the first season of Grimeborn, an annual musical theatre and opera festival held for two weeks in August. Another significant milestone in the history of the theatre is the launch of the Arcola Queer Collective in September 2014.
