And Muppet-like aliens running amok. \nThe Bard’s tragedy gets blasted into orbit\, transformed into a cosmic Glam rock comedy featuring norse gods\, gladiator pits\, space misfits and a golden robot. \nContaining adult language\, puppet violence and at least one song that Shakespeare definitely didn’t write\, it is the ultimate treat for fans of Operation Mincemeat\, Avenue Q and Forbidden Planet. \n“Everyone still dies\, but there are a lot more laughs along the way” – Cultivated UK  \n\n“This brand new musical sets to catapult you into the stratosphere (with some amazing puppetry)!”\nRhombus Rota \nAlong with a cast of eight actors\, the show features an eclectic array of puppets playing aliens\, monsters\, courtiers and Norse god. The London premier follows a sold-out run produced by Open Door Theatre in Norwich 2025. Featuring an original Bowie-inspired glam rock score by Dan Sturman and R.C. Staab. \nHamlet stars Nic Gordon as Hamlet\, alongside Lucas Fox as Claudius\, Ruby Bardwell-Dix as Ophelia\, Amy Beven as Horatio and Polonius\, Shem Jacobs as King Ham\, Lauren Bryant as Gertrude\, Elle Overvoorde as Laertes and Lewis Aves as Fortinbras. \nThe creative team includes Jo Myers\, costume designer; Katie Howell\, puppet wrangler; Acer Smith\, orchestrator; Colin Nicol\, stage manager; Matt Cross\, sound and lighting designer; Carole Beatty\, choreographer; Christoper Davidson\, musical director; Dan Smith\, costumer designer and Elle Overvoorde\, puppet maker. \nDirector April Nash said\, “It is incredibly exciting to stage our show at The Cockpit\, a space renowned for hosting bold\, boundary-pushing new work.

SUMMARY:Immo Klink: Victoria’s Trees
DESCRIPTION:As part of PhotoMonth 2026\, award-winning artist Immo Klink presents Victoria’s Trees\, a photographic series of nocturnal trees placed in dialogue with the highs and lows of urban routines\, from corporate life to dark kitchens. \nThe exhibition started as a personal project around solace found in nature and with capturing the bare branches that shape London’s parks during the winter months. Combined with urban scenes taken while working as a delivery rider\, Victoria’s Trees grew into a wider reflection on the precarity of city life\, powerlessness and inequality driven by AI and climate change. \nForegrounding the positive effects of access to nature\, presented at an urban winery situated next to Victoria Park where the project originated\, the exhibition also represents an extension of the artist’s political work. Klink has documented causes ranging from climate action to civil liberties\, most recently campaigning with the Citizens Arrest Network to bring water and fossil fuel CEOs to justice. \nWhile the pressures on society and the need for activism increase\, political art is a particularly hard sell. Immo Klink responds with a crowdfunding campaign that mirrors the ethos of Victoria’s Trees by offering fine art prints of trees while raising awareness and support for his practice. \nOpen Times: Thursday 4-8pm\, Friday 4-9pm\, Saturday 12-4pm\, Sunday 12-4pm or by appointment

SUMMARY:The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56
DESCRIPTION:Ben Uri is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition\, The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56\, marking the simultaneous publication of The Abbey Art Centre in postwar London 1946–1956\, eds.\, Jane Eckette\, Ian McLean and Sheridan Palmer (Routledge)\, this autumn. \nThe exhibition unfolds the remarkable story of the Abbey Art Centre\, a cosmopolitan art colony established at New Barnet in 1946 by charismatic artist\, gallerist and world art collector\, William Ohly (1883–1955). A crucible of creativity on London’s northern edge\, the Abbey was a postwar haven for stateless Jewish refugees\, as well as artists from Australia\, Britain and continental Europe. Ohly’s openness to outsiders extended to his dealings at the Berkeley Galleries in Mayfair\, which opened in late 1941 during the Blitz and where Abbey artists occasionally exhibited\, as well as Commonwealth artists and artists from Ohly’s own world art collection. The Abbey was an important seeding bed for cross-cultural and transnational modernism that proved pivotal to the careers of many artists\, as they navigated the seismic political and cultural shifts taking place in the postwar and postcolonial artistic landscape in Britain and beyond. \nFeaturing paintings\, sculpture\, drawings\, monotypes\, lithographs\, puppets and related photographs\, books and archival materials\, the exhibition includes artworks by Abbey residents Scottish painter Alan Davie\, English sculptor Peter King\, English painter Lilian Colbourn\, German émigré painters and printmakers Marcel Frishman\, Margret Kroch-Frishman and William Ohly\, Austrians Helen Grünwald and Angela Varga\, sculptors Inge King and Gudrun Krüger\, pioneering German animator Lotte Reiniger\, Ukrainian painter Stacha Halpern\, Australian constructivist Robert Klippel and painters James Cant and Mary Webb. Narrative sub-themes include the impact of African and Indigenous Australian art on emerging artists and socially conscious painter-printmakers working in London’s East End. The exhibition also features a small number of artists associated with the Berkeley Galleries including Nigerian modernist Ben Enwonwu\, German sculptor Fred Kormis and Prussian-born graphic artist Katerina Wilczynski\, as well as related photographs\, books and archival materials. \nA book launch and a related series of events will accompany the exhibition.

SUMMARY:David Byrne’s American Utopia | The Exchange Theatre Twickenham
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Spike Lee\, this electrifying concert film features iconic songs and unforgettable performances. \nSpike Lee documents the former Talking Heads frontman’s brilliant\, timely 2019 Broadway show\, based on his album and tour of the same name. \n‘Do we get stupider as we grow up?’ In his wildly popular Broadway show American Utopia\, David Byrne reflects on human connections\, life and how on earth we work through it. He joins the dots with his music and it all starts making sense. Spike Lee here transforms the production into immersive\, dynamic cinema that radiates with astounding performances\, inventive contemporary dance and political urgency. \nAmerican Utopia flows like an iridescent dream vision. Work by James Baldwin\, Janelle Monáe and Kurt Schwitters is highlighted among exhilarating renditions of Byrne’s solo work\, as well as Talking Heads classics. According to the multi-hyphenate\, we love looking at humans more than anything else. Anti- fascist and anti-racist\, Byrne illuminates our responsibility to care for one another as he and his co-performers burn down the house. \nExperience DAVID BYRNE’S AMERICAN UTOPIA in stunning 4K!

SUMMARY:Viktorie Hanišová: The Mushroom Gatherer
DESCRIPTION:Why do Czechs love mushrooms so much? And what happens when the forest becomes a refuge from the rest of the world? Join acclaimed Czech novelist Viktorie Hanišová to celebrate the English-language publication of The Mushroom Gatherer (Houbařka)\, a compelling novel of solitude\, family\, memory and the longing for human connection. \nDeep in the Bohemian Forest\, Sára lives a life of her own making. For seven years\, she has followed the same woodland paths\, gathering mushrooms to sell and keeping the rest of the world at a safe distance. Her days are quiet\, solitary and meticulously ordered – until the death of her mother begins to unsettle everything she has tried to leave behind. \nAs Sára sorts through her baskets of chanterelles and boletes\, she is also forced to confront the memories\, wounds and complicated family ties that have shaped her life. The forest offers her freedom and refuge\, but it also becomes the place where the past catches up with her. \nIn conversation\, Hanišová will explore the novel’s themes of isolation\, vulnerability\, family and trauma\, as well as the distinctly Czech passion for mushroom picking. \nViktorie Hanišová is a Czech novelist\, translator\, and teacher\, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices of her generation. She studied English and German at Charles University in Prague and debuted in 2015 with the novel Anežka. Her subsequent books include The Mushroom Gatherer (as Houbařka\, 2018)\, Rekonstrukce (2019)\, the short story collection Dlouhá trať (2020)\, Beton a hlína (2021)\, and the novel Neděle odpoledne (2022). Her political novella Tvůj táta je v ohni is forthcoming in 2026. \nViktorie Hanišová\, The Mushroom Gatherer\, translated by Véronique Firkusny\, Seagull Books\, 2025\, 300p \nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee) \nThis event is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London

SUMMARY:Homes\, Hauntedness & Belonging | Owl Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special conversation about Homes\, Hauntedness and Belonging\, exploring what happens when the spectral enters the domestic and what haunted houses reveal about the worlds we inhabit. \nTogether\, Caitlin Blackwell Baines\, Essie Fox and Leon Craig will discuss how spectral encounters\, genre expectations and historical accounts can all be analysed to consider who belongs and who is left out. From Catherine’s clever feminist retelling of Wuthering Heights\, to The Decadence’s hedonistic nightmare holiday ensemble\, and How to Build a Haunted House’s erudite non-fiction journey from Strawberry Hill to Himeji Castle in Japan\, these works interrogate familiar ideas of hauntedness and the stories we tell about our homes. Whom do we exclude and whom do we welcome inside? How can the past and present coexist? \nAt heart\, haunted houses are never just about ghosts. They are also about ownership\, power\, memory and the cultural anxieties of the places and times in which they appear. Gather round for troublesome ghosts\, gothic drama and pre-Halloween atmosphere. \n  \n\n\n\n\nCaitlin Blackwell Baines is an art historian and author\, specialising in Georgian art and architecture. Born in Toronto\, she later emigrated to the UK to pursue an MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art and a PhD from the University of York in art history. Upon completing her studies\, she moved to the Isle of Bute off the Western coast of Scotland\, and worked as a curator at Mount Stuart\, a late Victorian Gothic Revival palace. When she isn’t visiting haunted houses and recording her ghost story-themed history podcast\, Haunted Homes\, Caitlin is based in East Sussex.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEssie Fox was born and raised in Herefordshire. Always an avid reader\, she now writes historical novels. Essie has appeared at many literary events\, including giving lectures at the V&A\, the Westminster Library\, and the National Gallery in London. She also hosts a podcast called Talking the Gothic. Essie’s debut\, The Somnambulist\, was shortlisted for the National Book Awards\, and featured on Channel 4’s TV Book Club. The Fascination was an instant Sunday Times Top Ten best seller. Dangerous\, a Regency crime thriller featuring Lord Byron\, has been selected as a Times Book of the Month … as have her other novels\, including the latest – Catherine: A retelling of Wuthering Heights.\n\n\n\n\nLeon Craig is the author of queer haunted house novel The Decadence (2025) and gothic short story collection Parallel Hells (2022) Leon’s work has also featured in Hazlitt\, Elsewhere: A Journal of Place and Berlin Babel anthology and her non-fiction has been published in the Sunday Times\, the TLS and the  Telegraph. Born in North London\, she now lives in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Tallulah Rendall Only Human UK Tour (St Pancas Old Church) - Concert
DESCRIPTION:ONLY HUMAN is more than an album — it’s an immersive companion exploring what it means to live with an open heart in a complex world. \nABOUT → TALLULAH RENDALL \nTallulah Rendall’s seventh album\, HUMAN\, is a raw and cinematic exploration of what it means to live with an open heart in a world that often rewards disconnection. Blending alt-pop\, electronic textures\, and organic instrumentation\, the album chronicles her journey from shame and a lack of self-belief to self-acceptance and love; a deeply personal yet universal reflection on the courage to be human.” A love letter to the messy beauty of existence — to falling\, breaking\, healing\, and rising again. Each song is a prayer\, a confession\, a reclamation of self. It’s an album about remembering who we are beneath the noise; raw\, imperfect\, and profoundly alive. \nhttps://www.tallulahrendall.com/  \nTallulah’s performance includes Ben Roberts (cello & vocals)\, Sam Walker (drums & vocals)\, Steffanie Kelly (piano & vocals)\, and David Curtis (double bass) \nAtton=Raon – support \nMulti-Instrumental performer/composer Sam Walker – Sprawling experimental pop flows through soaring melody\, rolling textural beats and pin-drop moments held within a world of sound design\, spoken word\, exquisite lighting and visuals. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/attonraon/

SUMMARY:Susan Calman: Tall Tales
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in ten years\, beloved comedian\, writer and broadcaster Susan Calman returns to the stage with a joyful\, whip-smart and wonderfully unhinged evening of stories\, silliness and surprise\, already adding extra dates due to phenomenal demand! \nA decade older\, but not necessarily wiser\, Susan has amassed a remarkable number of improbable adventures since her last tour. Tall Tales dives headfirst into the most unbelievable highlights: from cruising the world to driving tanks\, her enduring love of cats and the trials and triumphs of getting older. \nSusan said: “It’s been ten whole years since I last headed out on tour\, and I couldn’t be more excited to get back on the road. I’ve collected so many ridiculous and unbelievable stories over the last decade that it feels only right to share them in person – preferably while dancing badly. I can’t wait to see everyone across the UK again and have a joyful\, hilarious time together.” \nPrepare yourself for an evening of barely believable stories\, laughter and probably some dancing. And yes\, she warns audiences in advance: you still won’t believe how short she really is.

SUMMARY:Yoav Avni and Jack Davies on Fiction\, Time\, Secrets\, and Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event with authors Yoav Avni and Jack Davies to celebrate the publication of their new novels\, Time Clocks and Jove \nTogether\, they will look at how fiction uses realism\, mystery\, suspense\, time travel\, espionage\, memory\, and humor to move between the strange and the intimate. Their conversation will ask what happens when stories cross borders of time\, place\, culture\, and form – and when the past keeps pressing against the present. At heart\, both novels are about people trying to make sense of a bewildering world. \nCome for the stories. Stay for the conversation. Leave with the sense that even the strangest plots are\, in the end\, about us. \nAbout Yoav Avni\nIsraeli author\, editor\, and translator\, winner of the Geffen Award and author of nine acclaimed novels published in Israel. His latest novel\, Time Clocks\, forthcoming in English from Roundfire Books in September 2026\, blends time travel\, mystery\, AI\, humour\, and magical realism in a story about three strangers from different eras who appear beside a man whose own life has just fallen apart.\nAbout Jack Davies\nLondon-based writer of short fiction\, poetry\, novels\, and screenplays\, and an award-winning film director. His novel Jove\, published by Roundfire Books in June 2026\, is a tense spy thriller in which a retired secret service agent becomes a detective after his daughter’s death\, uncovering secrets that stretch from personal grief to Britain’s colonial past and the hidden machinery of espionage.
