getting ready (Camden Fringe Festival)

Etcetera Theatre
09 Aug

“I used to be seventeen.” Lucy, Cara and Faye, three freshly graduated university students are getting ready for their final night out together before they all go their separate ways into the adult world. A night like any other, that will leave the girls changed for good. A story about growing up, the power of choices, and the fact that nothing ever stays the same. A brand new Irish play which speaks to the challenges that come with the bridge to adulthood. ‘Getting Ready’ shines a light on the culture of female friendships, the question of permanence of youth vs the impending nostalgia that comes with getting older. While being told through a modern lens, this story still manages to resonate with all those who have crossed this space before, resulting in a universal story for all ages to enjoy. A play full of humour and heart, ‘Getting Ready’ is bound to leave audiences reminiscence of a time that once was, and hopeful for a time yet to come.

In Winter We Celebrate Spring (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Etcetera Theatre
30 Aug

Fiona 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.

I’d Kill for this Place (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Etcetera Theatre
24 Aug

What’s inside Meg’s cool box? And why is she bringing it to a flat viewing? Four broke friends. One mouldy flat. And the “coming out” no one was prepared for. Sure, Meg’s been acting strange all summer, but who could have predicted that she turned into a vampire and even brought her lunch!? Three things unite Gen Z and Millennials: being woke, not being able to afford a house, and an unhealthy obsession with vampires. In a housing crisis this bleak, everyone ends up living with a monster. So is it really such a big deal?

Maybe Tomorrow (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Etcetera Theatre
19 Aug

This powerful new play follows two Lebanese sisters, Yara and Mina, who advocate for change in Lebanon. When the 2019 revolution begins, their frustration is turned into action. However, as the year passes, the fire of the revolution wanes, and the country descends further into crisis. This draws a chasm between the sisters and ignites a heated discussion about identity, colonialism, and corruption. On August 4th, 2020, the port explosion rips through their living room, changing everything. The play is both a love letter and a ‘fuck you’ to Lebanon: a dichotomy that every Lebanese person has felt. We don’t know what to feel, but we know it is all valid. A percentage of ticket sales will go to Migrant Workers’ Action, an organisation that supports displaced migrant workers in Lebanon and fights to abolish the Kafala system. Event Details Genre: Theatre Duration: 60 mins Price: £12 Social Media Instagram maybetomorrowplay TikTok: @maybetomorrowplay Information Trigger warnings: war, death, sounds of explosions, swearing Suitable for ages: 14 and over World premiere See venue page for accessibility information.
