Cocaine (CAMDEN FRINGE)
Etcetera TheatreCast: Geir Thomassen as JOE, Phoebe Alice Ritchie as NORA Written by: Pendleton King | Directed by: Sushant Nair Cocaine by Pendleton King is a one-act play, originally published in 1917, that delves into the psychological and emotional turmoil caused by drug addiction. The story has been adapted for the 80s decade, and centres on the character of a former boxer, Joe, once full of potential, whose life spirals downward as he becomes consumed by his addiction to cocaine. He struggles with the overwhelming cravings and the need to escape from reality. Also, caught in the turmoil of growing cocaine addiction is Nora, who wrestles with feelings of love, helplessness, and frustration. Through these characters, King explores themes of dependency, self-destruction, and the impact of addiction on relationships. King's writing is poignant in its portrayal of the human psyche, and the work is rich in themes of self-deception, moral decay, and the conflict between desire and consequence, making it a powerful commentary on the broader societal issue of drug addiction.

A story of responsibility, exhaustion and the quiet heartbreak of watching someone you love slowly disappear.

In Winter We Celebrate Spring (CAMDEN FRINGE)
Etcetera TheatreFiona has lived in Britain for over a decade. She knows how to navigate racism, bad weather, and overpriced rent. What she doesn't know is how to throw a Chinese New Year that actually feels like one. When 15-year-old Kailin arrives for the half terms—her first Chinese New Year away from China—Fiona is determined to get it right. The dumplings. The red envelopes. The whole performance of home. But somewhere between the hotel that looks nothing like its photos and a London that no longer feels like hers, something starts to slip. First her composure. Then her pride. Then, piece by piece, her face. In Winter We Celebrate Spring is a domestic horror laced with dark comedy—a Shirley Jackson-esque story about the quiet violence of trying to belong. No ghosts. No slashers. Just the weight of all the days you forgot to grieve, pressing down until something breaks. For anyone who has ever tried to recreate a home that no longer exists. Event Details Genre: New Writing Duration: 60 mins Price: £14 Social Media Instagram surpasscomet Twitter: surpasscomet Information Suitable for ages: 14 and over World premiere See venue page for accessibility information.

THE LAST DAYS OF TRUMP (A Liberal Fantasy)
Etcetera TheatreIt’s 2028 and he’s still here! WTF? This new play begins with a declining Trump watching the results of the 2028 US election. Yes, it’s set in the future. The Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff is concerned and engages White-House-intern-cum-Chief-of-Staff Morgan to keep Trump occupied developing his Presidential Library. But the library project reinvigorates Trump and fate hands him a chance to achieve the dictatorial status. Will fate intervene for the liberals? Less a partisan political hit-job than a farce about unintended consequences, this uproarious play explores how we all would love to be a dictator. Cast: Carly McCann as Morgan Vaughn John Smeathers as General Reese Stephanie Lodge as Carla Heart Chris Dearle as Donald Trump Written and Directed by Eoin Carney Socials: facebook.com/trumplastdays instagram.com/trumplastdays tiktok.com/@trumplastdays x.com/trumplastdays bsky.app/profile/trumplastdays.bsky.social

Ad A.
Etcetera TheatreAda is 40 years old and has a strong will to live—so much so that she manages to live 10 lives in a single day. She explores the world to discover new forms of intelligent life, becomes engaged to politicians of questionable morality, but it’s in the bathtub where the best battles take place—armed with a toilet brush and a frying pan against the Trojan kidnappers. Ada is 40 years old and has early-onset Alzheimer's. Pietro is the nurse who chases her, scolds her, feeds her, endures her “abuse”, and takes care of her, along with Max, a pharmaceutical chemist dedicated to marijuana and psychedelic drugs. Within the white walls of Ada’s room, they live their lives, trying to block out the terrifying screams of other patients and the terrible punishments from the Severely Strict Director. A tip-off from the neighbor to the Central Inspectorate for Compliance, an autonomous branch of the ultraconservative ruling party, breaks this delicate system.
