Gothic Opera is delighted to be staging this horror story for the first time in the UK. \nIn the capable hands of the award-winning international stage director Max Hoehn\, the evocative crumbling architecture of Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall will be transformed into the time of the Weimar Republic\, a period of nationalism and unease. \nIn a bold production that will speak to our current times\, Gothic Opera will be joined by exciting conductor Hannah von Wiehler\, who has a very busy career across Europe. Leon Haxby\, the young composer whose previous work for the company was praised in Opera magazine for its “haunting magic” and “compassionate insight\,” has created a new chamber orchestration of the opera for seven instruments. A cast of talented singers will bring the characters and story to life. \nDie Rheinnixen performance details:\n30th October\, 7.30pm\n31st October\, 7.30pm\n1st November\, 7.30pm\n2nd November\, 5.00pm \nSung in German with English surtitles.

Written in verse with the gleeful irreverence of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes\, Fishwives catapults the forgotten heroines of history onto centre stage—louder\, looser\, and far less ladylike than you remember. \nPenned and performed by seasoned comedy poet Abi Unwin-Smith (RCSSD)\, with a decade of live mischief under her belt\, this anarchic hour fuses poetry\, storytelling and movement with the high-energy chaos of vaudeville. Expect stripping suffragettes\, scandalous monarchs and the odd persecuted pudenda—no petticoat will be left unruffled. \nAfter a decade on the UK and Australian comedy and poetry circuits\, Fishwives now bursts forth as a full-throttle show: a bawdy mash-up of brains\, bosoms\, and belly laughs. In an age when women’s rights still hang precariously in the balance\, this show wields laughter as both weapon and salve. \nSo gird your loins\, ladies and gents. These lusty bawds have stories to tell—and it’s about bloody time we listened.

Growing up in totalitarian Czechoslovakia\, orphaned Emma endures foster care\, juvenile detention\, and the turmoil of the Velvet Revolution. To survive the fear\, loneliness\, and dislocation\, she invents another self to talk to—and clings to a dream of America\, where her father awaits. Blending raw realism with surreal imagery\, director Viktor Tauš crafts a poetic\, emotionally charged journey of resilience and hope. Girl America is not just a story of survival\, but a celebration of the unyielding spirit that refuses to be broken. An exceptional film in the Czech auteur cinema. \nViktor Tauš\, Czech Republic\, 2024\, 108‘\nCast: Pavla Beretová\, Julie Šoucová\, Klára Kitto\, Lucie Žáčková\, Klára Melíšková\, Tomas Sean Pšenička \nVivid and magical and fuelled by urgent pain\, Girl America is a mesmerising cinematic confection which dazzled audiences at Fantaspoa 2025 and deserves to be seen much more widely. Eye for Film \nPremiered at the 2024 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival\nBest Film\, Best Costume Design\, Best Set Design / Czech Film Critics’ Awards 2024\n\nBOOK NOW URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/girl-america-qa-with-director-viktor-taus/ LOCATION:The Garden cinema\, 39-41 Parker St\, London\, WC2B 5PQ CATEGORIES:Entertainment,Events in London,Films,Performing Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Girl-America-05-e1760459521774.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Czech Centre":MAILTO:blues@czechcentre.org.uk GEO:51.5162287;-0.1213372 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Garden cinema 39-41 Parker St London WC2B 5PQ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=39-41 Parker St:geo:-0.1213372,51.5162287 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251118T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251118T220000 DTSTAMP:20260408T030738 CREATED:20250716T194120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250716T194120Z UID:30099540-1763499600-1763503200@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Tristan Wolfe Break:Out DESCRIPTION:Prepare to laugh\, cry\, and question the line between tragedy and comedy in Break:Out—a raw\, queer\, and uplifting one-person show about rejection\, resilience\, and self-discovery. Tristan Wolfe blends sharp wit\, heartfelt storytelling\, and absurd comedy in this bold exploration of breaking down and breaking through. \nFrom childhood dreams of performing to the crushing weight of rejection\, Break:Out takes you on a deeply personal journey filled with poignant reflections and laugh-out-loud moments. It’s a story of finding strength in vulnerability and discovering joy in unexpected places. \nJoin Tristan Wolfe for a performance that’s as cathartic as it is comedic—a reminder that even in our darkest moments\, there’s a chance to break out. \n“Serious talent.” – FringeReview (Simon Jenner)\, on Marvin and the Dodgyspinners (Brighton Fringe 2024) \n“… a hilarious hour-long play by Tristan Wolfe\, the writer and director. “ – Broadway World (Cindy Marcolina) on The Hunters of Ghost Hall (Camden Fringe 2019) \n“Funny\, engrossing\, thought provoking drama with great performances!..” Sussex Playwrights (Philippa Hammond)\, on Finding Yourself Offside (2018) URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/tristan-wolfe-breakout/2025-11-18/ LOCATION:The Hen & Chickens Theatre\, The Hen & Chickens Theatre Bar\, London\, N1 2NA CATEGORIES:Entertainment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02-10-2025-110808-2426-1.jpg GEO:51.5460426;-0.1019985 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Hen & Chickens Theatre The Hen & Chickens Theatre Bar London N1 2NA;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=The Hen & Chickens Theatre Bar:geo:-0.1019985,51.5460426 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T180000 DTSTAMP:20260408T030738 CREATED:20250119T161235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T161521Z UID:30087704-1763553600-1763575200@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:At the Edge of All Things DESCRIPTION:At the Edge of All Things brings together three artists who conjure post-human landscapes in response to the uncertainties and frailties of contemporary life. The exhibition marks the start of a three-month series of events at a former warehouse in Borough as the building is prepared for its next chapter – the space itself a symbol of civic transition. \nAnna Woodward\, Annie Trevorah and Vilte Fuller provoke alternative futures in a world teetering on the brink of collapse. Examining the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world from cultural and historical\, theoretical and personal perspectives the artists’ works capture a liminal moment between utopia and dystopia. \nIn her intricate paintings Anna Woodward’s depicts fantastical scenarios where the organic and human-made collide\, Annie Trevorah’s hybrid sculptures blur the lines between plant life and technology\, while Vite Fuller’s otherworldly scenes draw on ancient folktales and urban myths. Together they join nature’s alarm call to step back from the edge. \nThis inaugural show launches a creative hub hosted by IAG (Independent Art Galleries and Exhibitions) led by curator Josephine May Bailey. Over the course of three months\, the temporarily vacant space will act as a platform for dialogue\, experimentation and exchange by incorporating exhibitions\, artist residencies and collaborative programming.

(Terms & conditions apply). \nIt is 2034\, and a group of billionaires control even more of the world than they do today.

Created and performed by Mountview graduates Ivi Moravcova and Jess Vince-Moin\, Side Effects May Include is a dystopian dark comedy blending sharp dialogue with surrealism.

He will then describe Vanbrugh’s quarrel with the Duchess of Marlborough and his later work as an architect\, at King’s Weston\, Claremont\, Grimsthorpe\, Seaton Delaval and Stowe. In recent years\, Vanbrugh’s reputation as an architect has been eclipsed by his subordinate\, Nicholas Hawksmoor. This talk and the accompanying book will explain Vanbrugh’s originality and influence on later architects from Robert Adam to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. \nCharles Saumarez Smith is a writer\, curator and art historian. He has served as Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery\, London\, as Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts\, London\, as Professor of Architectural History at the Royal Academy of Arts\, and Chairman of The Royal Drawing School and The Watercolour World. He is currently a Trustee of the Garden Museum\, and Emeritus Trustee of ArtUK and Charleston. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase in the Foyer at a special price. \nFurther details of the book available here URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/john-vanbrugh-the-drama-of-architecture/ LOCATION:Wigmore Hall\, 36 Wigmore Street\, London\, W1U 2BP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Architecture,Cheap Tickets,London Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/RS48873_John-Vanbrugh-2D-e1759480701723.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Wigmore Hall":MAILTO:boxoffice@wigmore-hall.org.uk GEO:51.5166232;-0.1482304 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Wigmore Hall 36 Wigmore Street London W1U 2BP United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=36 Wigmore Street:geo:-0.1482304,51.5166232 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T180000 DTSTAMP:20260408T030738 CREATED:20250705T030248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250705T030248Z UID:30096579-1763640000-1763661600@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Maggie Roberts | Sheer Presence: While They Are Here… DESCRIPTION:IMT Gallery is proud to present Sheer Presence: While They Are Here…\, a solo exhibition by multimedia artist Maggie Roberts\, exploring presence as a transformative force through watercolour paintings\, digital collage\, textiles and video. Responding directly to the ongoing ecological collapse\, violent destruction\, and the pervasive sense of uncertainty\, Sheer Presence acts as a cosmopolitical manifestation tool—a profound call to remain awake\, intentional\, and attuned to unseen forces shaping our shared reality. \nDrawing inspiration from Blaise Agüera y Arcas’ recent book What Is Life? Evolution as Computation (MIT Press\, 2025)\, the exhibition explores Sheer Presence as the distinct intrusion of another entity— often animal or virtual—disrupting the human order. Echoing the 8th-century Tibetan Buddhist Tattvasangraha text (verses 2892-2893)\, Roberts emphasises presence as the fundamental ability of an entity to profoundly influence and alter its environment\, reshaping perceptions and expanding experiences of reality. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is an ancient manifestation grid\, activated through six thematic “nodes”: ancestors>
