About this Event

Please check ticket info for this event below, incl. information about access.


Rage is not just a feeling—it’s fuel.
Love is not just a feeling—it’s a tool.

In love and rage we find the catalysts for revolutionary change.

From Esme Allman’s soft black girl to Sunny Singh’s brutal tales of survival and Mymona and Simran's contributions to The Hajar Book Of Rage, our writers weave the personal and the collective, they invite self awareness and reflection, they challenge, they transport.



Our Love & Rage Cabaret is an antidote to the numbness of information overload, the paralyzing effects of despair, the brain rot of doom scrolling. Feel it. The love and the rage.

The Love & Rage cabaret features readings, performance and discussion.





*Please note that masks will be required at this event ().

*Accessibility: All events will be professionally filmed & livestreamed. The Roxy is wheelchair accessible (including toilets) and we'll have provisions for neurodivergent guests including stims, quiet space and colour-coded lanyards.

*Events are £5 or free -we completely understand paying for one or two events and then getting free spots for others. The Radical Book Fair is entirely bookshop run and ticket sales are vital to keeping the fair sustainable and paying all our speakers so all support is heartily welcome!

*Featured books: The book & ticket option will select the most recently published book at any given event, if you’re not sure which book you want or don’t want that featured book, then buy a £5 voucher ticket that can be used for any of the books below. There are also which are £10, listed as a 'book', please note these are not redeemable at the fair, and rather a much appreciated contribution to the Fair's running costs,

*If you'd like to help make the book fair accessible to more folks, please consider adding to our pay-it-forward fund .
