Model. Woman. Human.
A satirical account of a person’s life as all three as they size up what counts.
This raw, energetic and darkly comic play exposes the conscious experience of objectification and the invasion of the body in a revealing, no-holds-barred 60 minutes.
MEASURE is written, directed and performed by Kaarina Kendall.
Join surrealist operatic clown Ellie Westbrook on an adventure to the South Pole, as she follows famous, old colonialist men into the abyss, and gets lost on glaciers that have long since melted. Why do people want to be important, or remembered? What is that to her? To you? There’s original music, song, character shifting, physically embodied icebergs and casual questions about the meaning of life. The show will be followed by delicious live gig from musician Eli Carvajal.

“A young woman converses with the artist about mental health in personal and interesting play”
When a mental breakdown steals your words, how can you piece your brain back together? Following a full Edinburgh run and the inevitable screaming void/break after it, Hannah has discovered that she made something that isn’t shit. So, she wants to pull the beast from retirement and give it a little London showing, without a script in her hand this time. Come? Won’t you? She’d like it if you did.
I don’t know how to make a breakdown entertaining, but I do know how to make a weird and confusing show about it.
“A unique piece of imaginative theatre”
“A powerful performer…this is a beautiful and enjoyable performance”
“A refreshing way of finding encouragement – through art and hope”
Rising Tides is a platform developed by GBworks to support performance-based artists making unique work that prioritizes collaboration, equality and openness. The formation of GBworks was instigated by Gianna Burright and Gwynne Bilski’s desire to create ongoing platforms to showcase their own work while also supporting and presenting the work of other female, female identifying, and non-binary artists. Rising Tides;01 is the first in an ongoing series where Gianna and Gwynne carefully curate an evening interdisciplinary work spanning dance, theater, performance-based art and live music, in conscious celebration of the power of feminine identities.

Writer/comedian David Head and singer/songwriter Matt Glover of Sincere Deceivers are proud to present their critically acclaimed story and song show “A Good Service on All Other Lines” for one night only.
Come and enjoy intertwining tales of dreamers, drunkards and lovers. Or at the very least come watch/hear/tolerate some intertwining tales. Enjoyment is entirely optional.
Basically it’s funny stories and melancholy folk-pop. And here’s some nice things people said:
★★★★★ “Stunning” – EdFringe Review
★★★★ “Gorgeous” – The 730 Review
★★★★ “Beautiful” – Fringe Biscuit
★★★★ “Hilarious” – The Scotsman

Five parties. One big mouth. A biting and heartfelt odyssey about what it really means to be loud. Gobby is a darkly comic telling of survival, and a lesson in how to throw a really good party.
Written and performed by Jodie Irvine (Soho Young Company, The Second City), directed by Serafina Cusack (Soho Young Company, Royal Court, Theatre 503).
