🎭 OPENS TONIGHT Everything and Nothing is a show for all the romantics, but especially the unromantics. Let 2026 be the year you fall in love. There is everything and nothing to lose. Oscar doesn’t believe in love at first sight. Alex wants to. When they meet at a mutual friend’s wedding, time stands still. The only problem is Oscar has a girlfriend. As they return to their lives, both are left carrying the feeling of that day. Years later they meet again and the natural order feels restored. Has time moved them on, or will they finally pick up where they left off? ✨ A tender, funny and aching new play about timing, possibility and the love that almost was. 📆 Until Saturday. Most Shows now SOLD OUT. 📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town 🎟 Tickets: link in bio Content advisory: some strong language.

📡 INTRODUCING HERE | FOR 📡 @proforcatheatre & @landutheatre announces HERE | FOR (2026). Here For New Work | Here for Growing Companies | Here For The Future. A supported mini-season of new work at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, taking place across four consecutive weeks in October 2026. HERE | FOR is designed to pass on the experience we’ve gained over the last ten years and to offer the kind of genuine leg-up we wished we’d had. At a time when long-term subsidy is increasingly difficult to secure and pathways from fringe to mid-scale work are narrowing, HERE | FOR exists to provide meaningful, practical support to companies who have already begun to establish themselves and are ready to take high-quality work to its next stage. The programme will support three independent theatre companies to create and premiere brand new pieces of work for public audiences, alongside a new Proforca Theatre Company production. Each selected company will receive: 🌐 A £1,000 cash contribution towards a new show 🌐 One week of free rehearsal space, 🌐 A five-night performance run in London 🌐 A one-night performance in Birmingham @ojstheatre 🌐 Technical and dress rehearsal time, 🌐 A risk-free box office split, 🌐 PR and marketing support, 🌐 mentorship from award-winning producers and industry mentors, and a dedicated press night. APPLICATIONS OPEN NOW ℹ️ Applications close: 2 March 2026 (5pm). 🔗 Full details and the application form are available via the link in bio. See you there!

Something on the radar. 📡 Very Big Thing, dropping very soon. #HereFor

🎭 Opens tonight A love letter to diaries, doubt and the drama of being young. It’s 1984. You’re 16, going on 17. Life is mixtapes, homework, first crushes and big existential questions. Inspired by My Teenage Diary on BBC Radio 4, Kentish Town’s @sebmerrick opens his adolescent journals to revisit the awkward, nostalgic and often hilariously middling realities of growing up in Thatcher’s Britain. Set against Ghostbusters, Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl and a world that feels both smaller and impossibly vast, this one man time capsule blends teenage angst with warmth, wit and a knowing wink. What really happened in 1984? Not much. And yet… everything. ✨ “Erudite and youthful… like a more self aware and highbrow Adrian Mole.” Colin Bass ✨ “An amazing collection of memories… poignant, funny and insightful.” Mr Stollery, 1984 📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town 🎟 Tickets and info: link in bio

🎭 OPENS TONIGHT at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre Daughter is a darkly satirical monologue exposing the hypocrisies and complexities of the human experience. Here is a father who loves his daughter. You can see it in the way he held her when she was born, the way he dances with her to her favourite songs, the way he will do anything to protect her. He is not going to apologise for every other little thing he has ever done. Who knows. You might have done them too. Balancing humour and horror, Daughter interrogates fatherhood, love and toxic masculinity, asking difficult questions about culpability, complicity and the ways misogyny is subtly and overtly condoned in our society. Unsettling, charming and confronting in equal measure. Written by Adam Lazarus Directed by Alexandra Rizkallah Performed by Cristiano Benfenati ⏰ Running time: 75 minutes, no interval 🎟 Tickets £15 | £13 concessions 📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town.

❄️TONIGHT ONLY: Small Extinctions Nothing says the holidays like getting trapped in a freezer with your ex. It’s Christmas Day. During the busiest service of the year, the owner of a Southend restaurant and her ex, the head chef, find themselves accidentally locked in the walk in freezer. Temperatures drop. Tensions rise. And with nowhere to go, they are forced to confront the losses that froze their relationship. This brand new one act play by Ash Felkner is tonally in the vein of The Bear and Lungs, sharp, intimate and emotionally charged. Featuring @domeightyseven as Geoffrey and @ash.felkner as Kathryn. Directed by @nanceturner . 📅 One night only. Tonight. 📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town 🎟 Tickets: link in bio Content advisory: strong language. Discussions of miscarriage.

🎭 OPENS TONIGHT A door slamming farce about fame, ambition and the ridiculous lengths people go to get ahead. Sorry, Members Only takes us behind the doors of a prestigious London members’ club, where Rob, an out of work actor turned reluctant concierge, makes a risky decision that spirals rapidly out of control. With the help of Suzi, his loyal colleague climbing the hospitality ladder, a daring plan unfolds involving a hidden film director, a double booked suite and a visiting VIP. Fast paced, sharp and chaotic, this new comedy dives into vanity, ambition and the need to be seen, with after hours parties, near misses and plenty of theatrical mischief along the way. 📅 Opens tonight and runs until Saturday ⏰ 7.30pm 🎟 Tickets £15 | Concessions £13 📍 Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town Content advisory: occasional strong language, mild drug references. #SorryMembersOnly #LandUTheatre #LondonTheatre #FringeTheatre NewWriting OpeningTonight
