🛶 SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT 🛶

House of Figs presents: Is it just me? The Awkward Guide to Friendship

🙈Are your words growing steadily weirder and wilder?
🍋Have you ever been likened to a lemon?
⛵️Then climb aboard…

House of Figs bring you their work-in-progress show celebrating all the shapes of friendship, from perfectly platonic meet cutes to courageous conversations… and beyond. Join poet Beth Calverley (Poetry Machine) and musician Beth Roberts on a voyage through deep friendship feelings, safely afloat in an otherworldly choir of spoken and sung voices.

We are very happy to announce that Story Slam returns for our Autumn season next week! Come join us September 20th when our theme will be lightning ⚡

Stories of storms, thunder and lightning. Strobe lights, police sirens, and stun grenades. Power, danger and transformation. Jolts of electricity, electrical fires and closing the circuit. Flashes of inspiration and stories of stupendous luck. Does lightning ever strike the same place twice? Your eureka moment, those 90's plasma globes, and fizzing tesla coils. The deep boom of an explosion. Calming looking out the window at the rain, or watching a dramatic storm roll in. Lightning fast reflexes, capturing lightning in a bottle and stories of fiery love, passion and intensity. Tornadoes, volcanoes and gods...

Have you got a story about lightning? Then come share it with us, September 20th at The Wardrobe Theatre
