by Alex Charing, directed by Alex Charing & Gabriela Chojnacki, pres. by Cow Juice Dr Fishbourne and his research partner on the project Petra Parker Phd Pending, are about to embark on a life-changing journey to the deepest darkest corners of not just London’s homeless epidemic, but Humanity's existence. Their field research request is still awaiting approval, but Mr Parker and Dr Fishbourne can no longer wait, and embark on a two week excursion to Central London to live and learn what it really means to be homeless or without homed (as Dr Fishbourne suggests Without Homed has a less permanent feel) in the capital. This adventure is rife with conspiracy theory, academic drug abuse and the truth that Earth, and all it’s inhabitants are too blind to see.

by Francis Grin, directed by Jamie Blake, presented by Theatre1880 She’s doing what all artists do. The catering gigs, the late night bar shifts, the endless barista jobs. And there’s no shame in it, she thinks. As she works another gig, holding a bottle of champagne, wearing a pilgrim costume. ‘Heart Into Mouth’ challenges the idea of following your dreams and questions how we commit to our own happiness.
