A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas play suitable for all of the family whose performers wow with song, puppetry and more!

Pros: A hilarious, naughty standup routine that will have you laughing until your sides ache Cons: A few of the jokes were lost if you aren’t totally immersed in Indian culture Vir Das is a fully-fledged Bollywood movie star who decided to try his hand at stand up.

Writer/Artistic Director and former RADA Head of Acting Jennie Buckman discusses her current play Piece of Silk and the importance of live performance.

An entertaining night out reminiscent of time spent with a favourite naughty aunt or uncle when you were a child, and they told you scary stories.
