🎭 OPENING TONIGHT at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre
Set in a dusty attic, Jamless by @nanceturner from @northernspirittheatrecompany is a story of working-class resilience, long-held grudges and the messy beauty of rebuilding broken bonds.
Ro shows up in the middle of the night like a bad memory - all Chelsea boots, borrowed poshness and secrets she’s still not ready to tell. Ginny’s got a frying pan in one hand, a grudge in the other, and no patience left.
As the sisters sift through dust, boxes and memories, old wounds resurface and the past refuses to stay buried.
✨ Jamless is about two sisters learning to face the house they never felt safe in, the family that failed them, and the cost of survival when no one teaches you how.
📅 Tonight – Sat 8 November | 7.30pm
📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town

😱 OPENS TONIGHT 😱
A dark and twisted Halloween thriller, centred on five strangers lured to a ritual in an abandoned monastery.
As reality begins to unravel, they face one terrifying question: will they make it out alive, or will the ritual claim them forever?
The Summoned from @distortedrebelsproductions is an edge-of-your-seat, unpredictable and fast-paced thriller that will shake the foundations of what you think is real.

🎭 OPENING TONIGHT
Not In the Mood for Quiche Anymore from @black_kohl_production
✨ A darkly funny one-woman tragi-comedy about love, loneliness and red flags.
Becks wants a boyfriend. She thinks she’s finally found “the one” online - until she discovers his criminal record. But just how bad can it be? As she’s drawn further in, the truth begins to unravel, and Becks risks becoming trapped in more ways than one.
Honest, sharp and unsettlingly relatable, this new play dives into the messy, modern search for connection and the danger of ignoring the warning signs.
