This October, comes a revelation.
A retelling of the Cleveland Street Scandal that shook England from James Fritz and director Jay Miller — featuring a flea, a horse, a detective, a queen, a pimp, a god, and a telegraph boy who knelt before the Crown.

Her face is covered by a black balaclava. There is a small rat next to her. Text reads written by James Fritz, directed by Jay Miller. 11 October - 18 November. The Flea.

Artist Daniel Oliver (@canibedaniel) speaks to @theatre_weekly about #NOW23, The Egg Show, mucking about, distractions, diversions, your inner child and being a dyspraxic performance artist 🍳
ALT An image that contains text that reads "I have learnt a lot about the wonderful overlaps between my needs and desires as dyspraxic performance artist and those of an 11-year old who wants to be an egg. My insistence on being broad and generous about what should or shouldn’t happen in a performance have been confirmed. I’ve learnt lots about following ideas and actions even when they feel like distractions and diversions. Especially when they feel like distractions and diversions."

We had an amazing time this weekend at the Make-a-Move event to celebrate Hub67 before the space is redeveloped. We had lots of fun making stuff, enjoyed music from young Hackney Wick talent, and there was a brilliant bouncy castle. #Hub67 - you will be missed! @YardLocal – at Poplar, London
