About this Event

Featuring world premieres of 'Mercenaries' (Kian Standbridge) and 'Is That It?' (Icarus Gibert), Durham directorial debuts for Ivy Harper and Sam Garratt, Sylvia Gardner's 'Scenes From Pig-Lip Paradisio', poetry from Ben Oliver, Lottie Roddis, and Mika Trench, this is going to be one hell of a show.


Tickets are pay-what-you-can: we want to keep our theatre as accessible as possible, while still raising money to platform these brilliant artists at this summer's Manchester and Camden Fringes. Any and all profits from ticket sales go directly towards funding our festival run! See you there x
