HEADS OR TAILS
by Skye Hallam
Steph has been granted one hour on Earth and uses her time to help those still living to learn from the regrets of the dead and to hopefully change the way these people see the world, forever, while laughing in the process.
Heads or Tails is inspired by Skye's personal near death experience, prior to graduating from RADA in 2016.

DEAD DOVES AND LEMONS or EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FAN FICTION (BUT WERE TOO AFRAID TO ASK)
by Deanna Strasse
This is a hard time for you: your loved one just came out as a (gasp) fan fic writer. How do you respond to that? What will the neighbors think? What is Omega slick, anyway? Don't you worry because fan fiction veteran MinaRoseTook (pseudonym) is here to answer all your questions. Join us on an eclectic (and often cringey) journey while we explore how fan fiction came to be, why people like it, and how it's a valid form of art. Who knows... maybe you'll even write something.
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 studios space, which is only accessible up a spiral staircase.
