The Salzburg-based band Blank Manuskript are an internationally successful chamber of musical wonder. Their uncompromisingly bizarre rock music has gained them a reputation for their originality. The music is characterized by its sophisticated symphonic arrangements as well as extensive psychedelic improvisations which will rock your musical senses. The mystical lyrics transport you into fantasy filled musical realms . Socio-critical escapism unites with creative excellence, creating contemporary programmatic rock for both insiders and seekers, far beyond the banal inhumanity of the media-machine.

South London Theatre presents: Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. Adapted by David Wood, Music by John Trent Wallace In this delightful stage adaptation, Roald Dahls classic tale is faithfully told by James himself, along with the insect characters Miss Spider, Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybird, and Earthworm. Full of fun, thrills and a sprinkling of magic, James' epic adventures will be brought to life in a show for all the family. Director:Simon Gleisner Total running Time (Estimate): Approx 1 hour 45 minutes including an interval Advisories: Please arrive on time, as we are unable to allow latecomers. Recommended age: This is a family show without age restrictions - we just ask that you make sure you and whoever you bring along will be comfortable sitting through the show (it's 2 hours long with a fifteen minute interval) and don't mind singing and dancing, flashing lights and loud sound effects and a couple of nasty aunts. Unfortunately, if you have to leave during the show you won't be able to come back in. And all children must be accompanied at all times. Trigger Warnings: James and the Giant Peach was written in the 1980s and is classic Roald Dahl. In particular, it has two very nasty Aunts who behave badly and are very rude to each other (and James!) including making horrible comments about each others bodies/how each other looks. We have made sure it is only the Aunts who exhibit this behaviour, so it is clear that it is not acceptable in the year 2025.

Iris is 27, broke, exhausted, and paralysed by the terror of failure. She’s spent years chasing a version of success that always feels just out of reach, haunted by the belief that if she stops running, she’ll disappear entirely. Now, between humiliating auditions and obsessive social media doomscrolling, mostly stalking a girl from school who somehow got everything right, something else is demanding her attention: her mother. Her mother’s voice still rings in her ears, a constant reminder that she must always be thinner, better, more. Even now, as her mother grows weaker and begins to depend on her, the pressure hasn’t lifted, it’s only changed shape. Good For Her! is a sharp, intimate solo show from emerging writer and performer Mollie Semple. It is about rebellion and conformity, shaped by fear, comparison, and a hunger for validation she can’t quite name. It’s about ambition, anxiety, and the quiet tragedy of building a life on someone else’s terms. Directed by Kayla Stokes, this production pairs gut-punch honesty with surreal edge, bringing a raw, intimate story to life. Kayla's credits include Ars Nova ANT Fest, NYTW, and Battersea Arts Centre. Good for Her! marks their first collaboration, bringing together their shared interest in female led, emotionally charged storytelling.
