For you will be dead much longer than you will be alive.

Share space with 14 performers aged 10 to 16 in a closed environment capable of complete darkness: young lives burning brightly for the shortest time.

Stacked Wonky are makers of site-specific performance keen to champion the raw, fierce, unconventional talent of West Somerset young creatives as directors, designers and performers. Fringe TheatreFest gives first-time director, Benjamin, aged 18, an opportunity to test the limits of his performance that premieres in London on Sadler’s Wells main stage on 9 July.

Once the Regal Cinema, housing Jewish refugees in its dressing rooms. Once a revolving series of nightclubs hosting revellers. It’s an iconic Barnstaple landmark soon to transform into a lively community resource (hubonthestrand.co.uk), if funding can be secured.
