24 FEB 22: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES by Mark Wheeller
“In the morning I woke up. The war had begun.”
What happens when ordinary lives are split into before and after?
Drawn from real voices in Ukraine and the English city of Lichfield, What A Difference A Day Makes is a powerful verbatim theatre piece that traces the shockwaves of war far beyond the battlefield. In classrooms, kitchens, churches and living rooms, young people, parents, teachers and hosts speak with disarming honesty about fear, kindness, displacement and the fragile idea of home.

SQUIDGE by Tiggy Bayley
A one-to-one support assistant in an inner-city primary school is assigned to a sharp, chaotic Irish Traveller boy with a talent for disruption and a grief he can’t name. Brutally funny and quietly devastating, Tiggy Bayley’s play holds a mirror to poverty, education and loss—and asks what it means to choose love anyway.

LITTLE WIMMIN by Figs in Wigs
“Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents…”
Well, here’s a gift for you – Figs in Wigs are bringing their live art ‘adaptation’ of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel to Soho Theatre Walthamstow. Get your binoculars ready because that stage is huge and those women are little.
Wild, irreverent and cosmically comical, this production dismantles the traditional canon to make way for the doomed future of humankind.
Prepare to laugh at the traditions of theatre and poke fun at people’s obsession with ‘the classics’ as the Figs use the story as their very own trojan horse, turning it on its head and mutating it into an unrecognisable cartoon catastrophe that talks about climate change, astrology and the infinite nature of the universe.
P.S. Beth dies.
