Everything Theatre

A comic exploration of finding community in unlikely spaces.

As a woman, you are taught to fear men you don’t know. Danger is always outside the house, something that could never come from someone you trust, something that affects a singular person, and you better be careful it’s not you. Selina Fillinger’s Something Clean not only shows danger coming from inside the house, but also its ripple effects on the people surrounding the abuse. This 2019 play is currently running at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre in what is a masterful and deeply touching performance.  Whenever the subject of rape and sexual abuse is approached by a creative, there is an expectation of both accuracy and delicacy that can be hard to balance. This production has consulted The Survivor’s Trust in order to get it right, and it shows. They have approached the material in a respectful manner – never falling into an exaggeration or a parody of what is a traumatising experience – while keeping it honest and never afraid to be blunt and direct with the truth. The show focuses on the rarely talked about private aspects of sexual abuse: victims years after the fact, the people who surround victims and abusers, and the small ways in…

A strong amateur production, standing on the shoulders of giants.

Provokes and unsettles theatrical convention as it explores queer, non-binary and contradictory emotions grappling with acceptance.

A refreshing reboot of rep theatre with four curious mini plays spanning rotting to Ramadan; tensions to tomatoes.

A compelling and exhilaratingly confusing experiment in time and understanding that pays glorious tribute to performers and performance gone before.

Celebrating inclusion, performance history of blackness, queerness, and urbanity… decolonising theatre, one beat at a time.

Impactful performances and moving staging centre this powerful adaptation.

A well-known tale of fairies, weddings and mischief refreshed with song, glitter and bubble machines to instantly grasp the audience’s attention.

A poignant, visually rich sketch of nineteenth and twentieth century theatre.

A dynamic, creative and energetic selection of music and dance from around the globe

Callum Pardoe is CHANNEL SURFING AT THE END OF DAYS Callum Pardoe’s CHANNEL SURFING AT THE END OF DAYS receives its world premiere at Hen and Chickens Theatre later this month. Produced by the new grassroots company Friends of David, the play is a bold, apocalyptic anthology that draws atmospheric inspiration from the surrealism of David Lynch and the haunting echoes of Joy Division. Described as an exercise in experiencing humanity through its “fleeting beauty, silliness, and heartache,” the production offers a glimpse into the final moments of a variety of characters before an unknown reckoning brings an end to life on Earth. As fans of anything apocalyptic, we couldn’t resist asking Callum if he’d like a chat, because if the world is really going to end, we may as well find out what to expect. Besides, what do you have to lose if this really are our last few days before it all goes boom. Why have you chosen an anthology structure to explore the “end of days” rather than a singular, linear narrative? It’s a format that the play has lived in since its inception back in early 2020. I wanted to experiment with dialogue and the end…
