🎭 OPENING NIGHT – DRAGONFLY GIRLS A bittersweet and deeply moving new play exploring family, care, and what happens when the role that defines you begins to slip away. Tonight, we step into one evening in a quiet living room - where two sisters sit, wait, and confront everything left unsaid. Laura has spent years caring for her grandmother. Now, as that journey nears its end, she must face a different kind of unknown: reconnecting with her sister, and learning who she is beyond being a carer. 💔 Tender, honest, and quietly devastating, Dragonfly Girls dives into sisterhood, trauma, and the long shadow of the past. ✨ From The Lighthouse Ensemble, this is their fourth new work no — and one not to miss.# 🎟️ Tickets £15 | Concessions £13 🔗 Link in bio CONTENT ADVISORY: 15+ | Strong language, references to domestic abuse, eating disorders, mental health, and end of life care SHOW INFORMATION: Written by Eleanor-Ffion Jones Directed by Diana Arushanian With Iola Budden, Norah Lane & Reece Sagomba #OpeningNight #DragonflyGirls #NewWriting #LondonTheatre FringeTheatre TheatreWorthLeavingTheHouseFor

🎭 OPENING TONIGHT | LAST FEW TICKETS REMAIN Arthur & Marilyn When an actress marries a playwright, there’s bound to be drama. 1956. What happened when America’s most famous celebrity married America’s most celebrated playwright? This gripping new play dives inside the turbulent relationship between Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller - from its passionate beginnings to its painful end. Determined to be taken seriously as an actress, Marilyn moves to New York and enrols at the Actors Studio. Soon after she begins an affair with Arthur Miller - just as he is called before the House of Un-American Activities Committee. Marilyn publicly supports him, risking her own career in the process. They marry. But even at the beginning, cracks appear. As fame, politics, drink and drugs begin to take their toll, their relationship slowly unravels — culminating during the making of The Misfits, the film Miller wrote especially for her. Love match or mis-match? 🎟️ Last few tickets remaining 📍 The Lion & Unicorn Theatre ⏰ Tonight - Sat CONTENT ADVISORY: Adult themes, strong language, alcohol and drug use 🎫 Tickets £15 | Concessions £13 #LandUTheatre #LondonTheatre #FringeTheatre #MarilynMonroe ArthurMiller OpeningNight

🎭 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

📡Something very big on our radar, and you won’t want to miss it. Make sure you’re following us to find out more about a huge opportunity coming this way. All will be revealed very soon! 📡
