SUMMARY:Translation Salon: Kafkaesque (In person) | The London Library
DESCRIPTION:The London Library contains books in\, on and translated from a whole world of languages. To celebrate the incredible scope of that collection\, we are delighted to introduce our new Translation Salon\, which will explore multiple perspectives and ideas around language and the intricate art of translation. \nFor our inaugural salon\, host\, translator and translation expert Daniel Hahn will be joined by Maïa Hruska\, author of a new book\, Kafkaesque\, which tells the story of the translators who saved the work of Franz Kafka from oblivion. \nFor years after his early death\, Kafka existed almost entirely through the wildly different readings of his words by his early translators\, many of whom would later be counted amongst the greatest thinkers and writers of all time. Primo Levi translated Kafka into Italian from the German he had learned in Auschwitz; Milena Jesenská lovingly into Czech before being deported; Bruno Schulz into Polish before being shot by an SS officer; and Jorge Luis Borges into Spanish as he slowly went blind in Buenos Aires. His French translator found new humour hidden inside Kafka’s work\, while his Russian translators were condemned to perpetual anonymity by the Soviet censor. \nCome along and join the conversation about this fascinating history of Kafka’s work\, the act of translation and some of the greatest minds\, tragedies and absurdities of the twentieth century. \nIn partnership with the Jewish Literary Foundation. \nMaïa Hruska was born to a Czech-French family\, raised in Germany and now lives in London\, working as a lawyer\, like Kafka. A graduate of University of Cambridge and Kings College London\, Hruska is fluent in Czech\, French\, German\, and English. Kafkaesque is her first book. \nDaniel Hahn is a writer\, editor and translator. Books published in 2026 include If This Be Magic: the unlikely art of Shakespeare in translation\, and translations of fiction from Mexico\, Peru\, Argentina\, Guatemala\, Brazil and Chile. He is currently translating an Angolan novel and co-editing (with Padma Viswanathan) The Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories. \nThe Jewish Literary Foundation (JLF) presents the best in contemporary Jewish literature and ideas. From its flagship annual festival Jewish Book Week\, to its free JLF Player streaming platform\, creative opportunities and live cultural experiences\, the JLF connects\, inspires and entertains year-round. For events\, creative opportunities\, new video releases and more\, sign up to their newsletter. \nOur events programme is presented in partnership with Hakluyt & Company\, the global strategic advisory firm for businesses and investors. \nBooks by the speakers will be available to buy at the event and online from our partner bookshop Hatchards. \nNB This event will take place in person in the New Room at The London Library. Doors and the bar will open at 6.30pm\, the talk will run from 7-8pm and the bar will stay open until 8.30pm. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. \nLondon Library events are subject to Terms & Conditions

SUMMARY:Better Go Mad in the Wild + Q&A with director Miro Remo
DESCRIPTION:Deep in the Šumava Mountains\, identical twins František and Ondřej have created a life far from the gaze of society. On their ramshackle farm\, they tend to their animals\, swim in forest lakes\, compose poetry\, drink\, philosophise and bicker – before making up and starting all over again. But beneath their eccentric routines lie two very different spirits: František dreams of freedom and adventure\, while Ondřej longs for the comfort of the familiar. As their unbreakable bond is put to the test\, their unconventional world becomes a funny and moving reflection on brotherhood\, solitude and the desire to live life on your own terms. Remo playfully blurs the line between reality and fairy tale\, mixing semi-staged vignettes\, striking visual tableaux\, a talking cow and plenty of anarchic humour. Warm\, eccentric and full of surprises\, Better Go Mad in the Wild is a wonderfully offbeat celebration of two charismatic outsiders who have created their own way of seeing – and living – in the world. \nMiro Remo\, Czech Republic\, Slovakia 2025\, 84´\, English subtitles \n  \n2025 Crystal Globe Winner at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival \nPresented at IDFA – Best of Fests\, \nCzech Lions: Best Cinematography\, Best Editing\, Best Documentary Film \n“Sprightly\, warm\, and endearing portraiture … conjuring little moments of magic by slowing down for long enough to notice all the details of two born outsiders who turned nature into their own private sanctuary.” – RogerEbert.com \nVariety’s Guy Lodge shared the love for the film\, calling it a “poignant\, permanent imprint of lives largely lived far outside the gaze of society and the authorities.” \nLondon Premiere organised in collaboration with Tributary Releasing\, UK distributor of the film. \nThis event is a part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London.

SUMMARY:Legend of Kaliakra | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the legend of forty maidens who chose death over slavery\, Legend of Kaliakra explores the hidden emotional lives of the women behind one of Bulgaria’s most enduring stories. Blending poetic text and music\, the production explores what remains unseen in history: the psychological and emotional worlds of the women behind the legend – their fears\, guilt\, love\, courage\, and confrontation with the oppressor. \nThrough four interconnected female perspectives\, the work reimagines a historical narrative as a story of choice\, dignity\, and freedom. Performed in Bulgarian with English subtitles. Elitsaa Yovcheva directed the play at the National Theatre and the Youth Theatre in Bulgaria. The show premiered in Sofia in 2023 and has since toured cities along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Making its London premiere at the VOILA! Festival\, Legend of Kaliakra invites UK audiences to encounter a powerful Bulgarian story through the shared language of theatre\, movement\, and music.

SUMMARY:Ballerinas
DESCRIPTION:“They have two faces. The smiling\, perfect one the audience sees. And then the dark one that emerges behind the curtain\, when the rehearsed smile falls and the face contorts into a grimace because they are choking…” \nPart memoir\, part reckoning\, Ballerinas is a raw\, darkly comic exploration of the elite ballet conservatory system and the feverish atmosphere of the 1990s. Adapted from her acclaimed autobiographical novel\, performer and director Miřenka Čechová traces the often brutal journey of young girls pursuing ballet dreams\, exposing a world shaped by discipline\, ambition and sacrifice. \nBlending movement\, theatre and personal testimony\, Čechová creates a deeply intimate work that lays bare both the physical demands and psychological cost of artistic training. Revisiting past traumas with unsparing honesty and self-deprecating humour\, Ballerinas becomes not only an examination of a toxic system\, but also a powerful search for identity\, resilience and catharsis. \nThe show will be performed in English.  \nMiřenka Čechová is a Czech author\, choreographer\, director and performer whose multidisciplinary practice spans theatre\, dance and documentary storytelling. A former classical ballet dancer and co-founder of the theatre companies Spitfire Company and Tantehorse\, she has built an international reputation for creating deeply personal\, socially engaged works that transform autobiography and real-life testimony into powerful physical theatre. Her acclaimed books and performances include Miss America and Ballerinas\, the latter receiving nominations for both the European Union Prize for Literature and the Theatre Newspaper Award. \nConcept\, Direction and Performance: Miřenka Čechová\nDramaturgy: Martina Kinská\nDirectorial Collaboration: Janka Ryšánek Schmidtová\nTheatrical Collaboration: Tereza Dočkalová\nSet Design: Petr Boháč\, Eva Matoušová\nMusic: Martin Tvrdý\nLive Music: Mary C\nLighting Design: Filip Horn\nAnimation: Linda Arbanová\nVideo: Tereza Vejvodová\nCostumes and Objects: Eva Matoušová\nProduced by: Spitfire Company \nWith the support of the City of Prague. \nThis event is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London.

SUMMARY:The Radical Wedding Engine | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Five people decide to get married. To each other. Sort of. But how do you build a wedding when the rules don’t quite fit? The Radical Wedding Engine is a playful experiment in marriage\, chosen family and artistic partnership. Five East Asian migrant artists who have worked together for years take the wedding apart and put it back together again — testing vows\, rituals\, traditions and expectations along the way. What happens when an artistic partnership starts to look like a marriage? Can a wedding celebrate friendship\, collaboration and chosen family? And what might commitment look like beyond the couple? Moving between sincerity and absurdity\, intimacy and spectacle\, they explore different ways of caring\, committing and belonging\, while attempting to build a ceremony of their own. Developed through The Yard Theatre’s Live Drafts programme and a Making Space residency at Battersea Arts Centre.

SUMMARY:Little Thief + Q&A with director Ondřej Hudeček and actor Václav Neužil
DESCRIPTION:Fresh out of prison\, good-hearted small-time thief Lupyn returns to his hometown in South Moravia\, only to find the world turned upside down by the pandemic. With businesses struggling and the usual rules seemingly suspended\, his particular talents suddenly offer an unlikely way to help those around him. But when Lupyn’s plans bring him into the orbit of local crime boss Asasín and corrupt policeman Čeněk (wonderfully played by Václav Neužil) – who happens to be dating Lupyn’s mother- things quickly become more complicated than he bargained for. \nThis feature debut from Sundance-winning director Ondřej Hudeček is a sharp and wonderfully earthy mix of black comedy\, crime and satire. Steeped in local dialect\, characters and atmosphere\, it puts a distinctly Czech spin on the classic heist comedy\, delivering a mischievous ‘Covid Western ‘ where the boundaries between right and wrong become increasingly blurred. \nOndřej Hudeček\, Czech Republic 2026\, 118‘\, English subtitles\nCast: Matyáš Řezníček\, Václav Neužil\, Stanislav Majer\, Denisa Barešová \, Eva Vrbková

SUMMARY:Mark Thomas: 40 In Stand Up Years
DESCRIPTION:One of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic as he brings his brand-new show to the Leicester Square Theatre for an extra show! \nSo\, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years\, won 8 awards for performing\, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself\, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)\, written 6 books and 5 play scripts\, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, sued the police (and won) 3 times\, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours. \nIf that’s not enough\, he’s also walked 724km around the length of the Israel Wall in the West Bank\, been credited with changing the law on tax avoidance\, started a comedy club in Palestine with Dr Sam Beale and campaigned successfully for things like trade union recognition for cinema workers and getting multinationals to change their practices. You’re right\, there’s more\, but your attention is running out and we’re running out of space. So\, let’s just say he’s generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset the right people…which he is really\, really good at. \nThis is a taster menu of political and personal mayhem\, jokes\, rants and a state of the nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the hell is going on’ into a cogent evening of stand-up.

SUMMARY:Huella by Isadora - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:At the edge of ecological collapse\, Huella unfolds around an ambiguous waterfall carrying the memory of water\, as new geologies emerge. Through eco-poetic symbolism\, a danced installation-performance of textural and flamenco soundscapes traverses dissonant yet porous\, solastalgic bodies and landscapes\, entangled in the waterfall’s trace.\nOpening onto an uncertain time between an altered present and a future archive\, the waterfall holds play\, intimacies\, rituals\, human and animal passages\, alongside contaminated sediments and materials that persist. \nHuella emerges from the lived tension of perceiving the living world’s alteration while continuing to inhabit everyday life. It resonates with solastalgia: the feeling that arises as a familiar environment transforms while we are still living within it.\nThe narrative is embodied through a movement language inspired by contemporary improvisation and the geometries of Vogue and flamenco aesthetics.\nFragments from Lorca’s Suites and Libro de poemas also appear as poetic undercurrents. \nIsadora is a French-Tunisian artist working across movement\, performance and installation\, born in Paris and based in London. As a Vogue performer and member of the Iconic House of Milan (as Isadora Milan)\, she walks balls internationally. She develops an experimental movement language inspired by New Way Vogue\, Arms Control\, contemporary improvisation and flamenco. Her hybrid practice seeks to unsettle dominant perceptions of feminine representation and embodiment\, while increasingly engaging with ecological transformation and with human and more-than-human experiences. She also works with costume and objects as spaces for transformation and play. \nDirected and performed by: Isadora\nInstallation concept: Isadora\nCante: Carlos de Luisa\nOriginal guitar composition and live guitar: Michael McMahon\nCostume design: Isadora\, Amber Jiang\nLighting design: Emma Gasson. \nBooking: https://tickets.thecockpit.org.uk/sales/Shows/voila-festival-2026/huella

Alas\, it is true; one of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic. \nSo\, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years\, won 8 awards for performing\, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself\, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)\, written 6 books and 5 play scripts\, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, sued the police (and won) 3 times\, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours. \nSo basically\, expect a taster menu of government and personal mayhem\, jokes\, rants\, and a personal state-of-the-nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the f*ck is going on’ into a cogent hour of stand-up.

SUMMARY:Dead [Women] Poets Séance: Sophie Herxheimer & Clare Pollard resurrect Amy Levy & Christina Rossetti (In person)
DESCRIPTION:Who are the Dead Women Poets? How dead are they? And what is our relationship to them\, as contemporary writers\, artists\, ‘queens of the whole world’? \nJoin us as we join forces with Dead [Women] Poets Society\, who\, since 2015\, have been resurrecting women and non-binary poets of the past. At The London Library – the perfect venue for resurrecting the ghosts of poets past – our spooky poet-mediums Sophie Herxheimer and Clare Pollard will commune with the spirits of Amy Levy and Christina Rossetti\, two subversive\, darkly imaginative\, outsider Victorian poets (whose friends and family once wandered the Library stacks). We’ll hear more about their lives and works\, and the influence they’ve had on our two living poets. We’ll also be treated to readings by our poet-necromancers\, haunted by the ghosts of these two dead women poets and all will be compered by poet Helen Bowell of the D[W]PS. \nThe resurrections will continue with the popular Dead [Women] Poets Society open mic\, for which we welcome poets and performers of all and no genders to the stage. The only rule: for every poem of your own\, you should also read/perform one by a dead woman or non-binary poet. \nThere’ll also be the chance to get your hands on books by our guest poets\, dead poets and D[W]PS merch. \nLearning from Dead [Women] Poets: Poetry Workshop – Clare Pollard will be teaching a poetry workshop\, inspired by dead women poets\, which will take place at the Library from 3.30-5.30pm the same day.

SUMMARY:Three Little Pigs | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, thousands of migrant construction workers raise homes\, offices\, theatres and hospitals\, spaces where other lives unfold. They build stability\, safety and permanence\, often while living in temporary rooms\, on unstable contracts\, with families far away and futures on hold. ‘Three Little Pigs’ is a new theatre performance informed by conversations with construction workers across the UK. Developed following conversations with migrant construction workers\, the play begins with three construction workers on a building site. The piece sits somewhere between comedy and drama\, much like life on site itself. There is constant humour in the routines\, in the banter\, in the absurd situations that arise day to day. Jokes become a way of coping\, of bonding\, of getting through long hours and difficult conditions. At the same time\, those moments sit alongside the pressure\, the risk and the things that are harder to say out loud. The story is also rooted in real experience. Director Sava Cebotari came to the UK after being forced to leave Russia following the war in Ukraine and worked in construction to support his family while trying to find his way back into theatre. The people he met there helped open the door to the wider research process behind the piece. Built from conversation\, research and lived experience\, Three Little Pigs offers a glimpse into the lives behind the labour. \nThe play is ENTIRELY FICTIONAL. Writer: Inna Cebotari Director: Sava Cebotari

SUMMARY:What Makes Great Drama Great? - Screenwriting Masterclass with Eleanor Greene (In person)
DESCRIPTION:Why do great stories make us gasp\, or catch our breath in wonder? Why does a moment of raw\, flawed humanity stop us in our tracks? And why\, even in the darkest tales\, does a flash of levity increase our enjoyment of the story? \nIn this masterclass\, led by award-winning executive producer and script editor Eleanor Greene\, we will explore the key elements of successful drama\, starting not with structure or formula\, but with something more fundamental: how we experience our favourite stories\, and why some of them stay with us forever. \nEleanor has spent her career inside the room where stories get made: developing scripts\, working with writers\, and producing drama at the highest level. In this masterclass\, she shares the framework she has developed through that experience: the essential elements that every great story needs to move an audience. \nIn the morning session we will explore these elements through the lens of existing successful shows and films\, examining why they work\, why they affect us the way they do\, and what writers do to create those effects deliberately. \nIn the afternoon we move from theory to practice\, with a series of hands-on exercises designed to improve specific aspects of your writing: how to write sharper dialogue\, how to eradicate exposition\, how to use subtext to build tension in a scene\, and how to construct a series quickly and confidently using the tools we explored from the morning’s session. \nYou will leave with a framework you can apply immediately\, and a clearer sense of the writer you want to be. \nEleanor Greene is an award-winning creative with over 25 years experience in developing\, pitching and producing scripted TV and film. A BAFTA nominated Drama Executive Producer\, Script Editor and TV fanatic she has made shows across many genres and lengths\, including sitcom\, thriller\, police procedural\, political\, historical and factual drama\, multi episodic series and features. \nThis workshop takes place in person in the New Room at the Library. Doors will open at 10.15am for a 10.30am start. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. \nTea and coffee will be provided throughout and we will have pens and paper available but feel free to bring your own writing material. We will break for an hour for lunch and you are welcome to bring your lunch with you – there is a fridge – or there are plenty of places to buy food nearby. \nLondon Library events are subject to Terms & Conditions

SUMMARY:Re-Enchant: November | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:RE:ENCHANT – Poetic Experiments For A New World. Live literature every third Sunday. 15 November 2026. Featuring Gale Burns\, Luigi Coppola and Nadia Larina\, plus open mic slots. Curated and introduced by Nick Moss in collaboration with The Cockpit. Readings\, recitations\, incantations and performances from established and upstart poets and word artists. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Cockpit & Emergence Production\n\n\nRE-ENCHANT – Poetic Experiments For A New World \nA poetry and spoken word session: we welcome established writers as well as new work and new performers to challenge us and shake us all out of our complacency. \nRe-Enchant is run by poets – but it’s not for poets. We don’t want to talk to ourselves. Poetry\, if it’s to survive and develop as an art form\, has to be about communication. If we are only talking to ourselves\, then we’ve failed. Poetry began as an oral form – the Vedas\, the Epic of Gilgamesh\, the Odyssey. We don’t claim the same brilliance\, but we do want to document our history and challenge the narratives of our times. \nWe have entered an era when the progressive values we fought for are being bulldozed into reverse. In days like these\, creative work can seem futile and irrelevant. Re-Enchant is a commitment to the idea that words can change things. Poetry is a place where we have the chance to play with concepts\, explore new forms of thinking and discuss other ways of living. Poetry is a commitment to experimentation. We want to hear from new voices – we want to hear from the voices that are always shut out from the arts. We want to dethrone the laureates. Come and join us. As The Jam once sang\, “If we communicate for two minutes only/It will be a start.” \nThe world changes: we make new poetry to vandalise literary forms or retrieve those we need to renew.  We make new poetry to hybridise new species of understanding and reframe consciousness. \nWe make new poetry to have a good time.

SUMMARY:A Song and Dance | Battersea Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:A performance about masking\, performing and ‘acting the part.’ \nAfter their 2023 sell-out run of The Talent\, Action Hero are back and definitely not making a scene. \nLost inside a recurring nightmare filled with the phantoms of his disapproving ancestors\, a reluctant actor returns to the stage. In an attempt to conquer an 8-year period of intense stage fright\, he replays his own life story and starts to lose the plot.  \nBut he’s not going to make a big song and dance about it. \nInstead\, he’s determined to keep the show on the road\, re-writing his anxiety dreams live on stage with you\, the audience\, in the hope of banishing the ghosts of performances past. \n“Thrillingly funny and strange. Beckett’s hip\, pop-culture savvy descendants”\nTime Out \n“I have never seen a show from these artists that didn’t make you sit up a little straighter and want to peer a little more closely”\nStagedoor \n  \nFor exact showtimes\, visit their website HERE

SUMMARY:Age UK London launches ‘Rock Against Ageism’ with Toyah Willcox Event
DESCRIPTION:The Age UK London team know that age is only a number\, especially when it comes to creativity and music.  So they are delighted to announce the first Rock Against Ageism special event\, taking place on 18 November\, featuring none other than music icon Toyah Willcox. \n\nThis special occasion will offer an illuminating conversation with a pop rock legend who is close to so many of our hearts in the UK. It’s no Mystery that the Age UK London team love her! Your support will help fund the vital work of Age UK London\, an independent charity within the wider Age UK network dedicated to improving the lives of older people across the capital.\n\nThe afternoon will open with an intimate fireside chat with Toyah\, one of the UK’s most distinctive and enduring musical talents. The conversation will explore her remarkable career\, experiences of ageing in the public eye\, and the importance of challenging ageism across the music industry and wider society.\n\nThe event is intended to be the first in a series of Rock Against Ageism events\, with a number of other well-known singers already on board for future occasions…very exciting indeed!\n\nThe launch of the Rock Against Ageism events comes at an important time for the campaign against ageism. Recent research undertaken by Age UK London into the experiences of older Londoners found that almost half have experienced ageism\, while 60% are reluctant to challenge it. Older Londoners reported experiencing ageism in everyday situations\, including on public transport\, in shops and when accessing healthcare services such as GP surgeries and hospitals.\n\nRock Against Ageism aims not only to raise funds\, but also to use music’s power and influence to challenge negative stereotypes about ageing and promote a more positive\, inclusive view of later life.\n\nLiz Drury\, CEO of Age UK London\, said:\n\n“We are over the moon that Toyah has agreed to support us by speaking at this special event. She is the epitome of creativity and joy\, and a shining example of a positive attitude at any age.”\n\n“For 42 years\, Toyah has taken to the stage like no other. She has received numerous awards and nominations for her work in singing\, writing and acting\, and her tours continue to sell out across the country.”\n\n“Thank you for joining us\, Toyah!”\n\nThe November event will offer supporters the chance to enjoy a unique afternoon with a true music icon while helping Age UK London continue its work to improve the lives of older people across the capital.\n\nTickets are priced at £30 and can be booked here.
