Coming Up: Sunday 1 June
KILLING TIME
by Sam Moorcroft
The near future. A state of emergency exists, two people meet at their usual meeting place to talk/kill time, oblivious to the act that killing time is now an offence. The totalitarian mind-set and the absurd combine to create a world without freedom, sense, or meaning.
A short play exploring freedom, defiance, and conformity.

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.
