Coming Up: Sunday 6 September - 5.30pm
FOLLICLES
by Ruby Wilson
While getting ready to go out out, a woman carries out a private campaign of disarmament — and reflects on desire, dread, and power. Kind of like if American Psycho was a bonkers dyke. Monster if Aileen Wuornos wasn't made to feel guilty about being the baddest bitch to ever live.

BREAKING AWAY
by Julian Guassardo
A cycle of four short pieces riffing on the word 'break', charting the dissolution and salvation of an artist through a series of destructive and creative life experiences. Breaking Away is an episodic, experimental, blackly funny journey through successive phases of the creative lifecycle and poses a series of questions on life, art, faith, spirituality, politics, and love, whilst gently satirising the calling of the artist. The cycle comprises four parts, from grief stricken wastrel (The Break Up), to criminal (The Break In), to psychiatric inpatient (The Break Down), to martyr (The Break Through).
Tickets are £3 with an optional donation at checkout.
New Stuff finishes at approximately 7.45pm, but we welcome all to join us for continued conversations in the bar downstairs.
Tickets are strictly limited, so booking in advance is highly recommended. Please note that the event takes place in one of our studio spaces, which is only accessible up a spiral staircase.
