THE GOLDEN FLY BOMB
by Zhiwei Wu
In a surreal 24-hour journey, a young woman's desperate search for meaning unfolds through a kaleidoscope of reality and imagination.
Working as a hostess in a nightclub, she navigates broken family ties, toxic relationships, and a mind that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary – where humans morph into horses, a cat speaks, and candies explode.
This multimedia theatre piece blends live performance with animation, projection mapping, and original music to create two parallel worlds on stage. As our protagonist crafts her own Golden Fly Bomb – a whimsical remedy for her existential crisis – she discovers that the urge to destroy everything might just be the key to survival. Through striking visuals, physical theatre, and haunting original songs, this show asks: "In a world we cannot change, how do we find the strength to go on?"

AUGUST FISHER
by James Fairhead
August Fisher - Money, Memory and Trust. The ailing energy mogul August Fisher struggles with dementia and attempts to block the handover of his company to his fossil-fuel hating son, Andrew. With the arrival of a new son from a newer wife, the family's world is tipped upside down, as intrigue and ambition tears apart the fabric of the Fisher family. Set in contemporary London, August Fisher is a verse play strikingly adapted to our time.
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.
