Everything Theatre

We had an amazing time presenting this year’s Etties Awards. Our first year doing this as a livestream, but we reckon it went well. Of course the whole point of our awards is to celebrate the heart of fringe theatre and Theate for Young Audiences, and we reckon we achieved that. We’re always talking about next year’s awards, and whether it’s time to take them out to an actual venue and do them in person. We absolutely love the idea but as a fully volunteer run website, it’s very much about funding such ambitious plans. So watch this space for future announcements on those plans. If you want to watch the awards, you can do so via our YouTube channel below. You’ll just need to scroll through the first ten minutes or so to the start.

Martha Godber on bringing Do I Love You? south to the capital Following the success of its UK tour earlier this year, Do I Love You? now comes to London for its inaugural performance in the capital. Packed with Northern Soul music, John Godber’s hilarious comedy is being performed by its original cast, including actor Martha Godber, whose parents founded the John Godber Company. We were excited to get the chance to talk with Martha about the show and finally bringing it down south. Hi Martha. Thanks very much for taking the time to talk to us about Do I Love You? Can you tell us a bit about what the show is about? Martha Godber My pleasure! Do I Love You? is a complete celebration of Northern Soul music and culture. It follows three young people in the North of England working in a chicken shop, looking for purpose – and that purpose is Northern soul. The play really takes you on a journey, one of belonging and finding yourself through a movement. If you know about Northern Soul you’ll love it and if you don’t it will certainly educate you! John Godber is renowned for writing classic plays…

Benjamin May, Susan Nickson, and Tim Dawson discuss The Red Prince Following the seismic shift of the 2024 General Election, the UK political landscape has been ripe for theatrical dissection. Enter The Red Prince, a poignant new comedy at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre that trades the shouting matches of the Commons for a solitary, midnight soul-searching session. Focused on Craig Kitson, a newly elected Labour MP, the play asks tough questions about what it means to lead when the mandate is “loveless.” We caught up with the show’s creative team (writer Tim Dawson, director Susan Nickson and performer Ben May) to find out how they translated the headlines of the last few years into a study of power and pragmatism. How would you describe The Red Prince? Really funny. A genuine attempt to examine the situation as it is, in 2026, now. We’re trying to do something new – to add a personal, emotional element. We sympathise with these people… we are not trying to make an ideological point. We tried to have a pop at everything and everyone in the pursuit of really funny jokes. We also want to find something to like, something human in these figures……
