Chicken Dropping (camden Fringe)

“A cozy, decent kitchen of your dreams, a perfect breakfast, and a war of chickens.” Yifei and Ming lead a meticulously ordered life in their Qingdao beachfront apartment, watching their neighbour’s chickens engage in a brutal, feathery feud from behind a spotless window. To Ming, a school teacher, the violence is background noise to be ignored; to Yifei, a bank clerk, this war is a market to be exploited, as free-range eggs begin to arrive at their doorstep. As the couple argue and scheme over this unexpected windfall, the boundary between outside and inside begins to collapse. Chickens invade their home, littering the living room with droppings. Chicken Dropping is a biting absurdist comedy about those who treat tragedy as opportunity, until the blood and filth of what they’ve monetised crash through their own kitchen window. When the world turns into a battlefield, how long can you keep your own kitchen clean? Event Details Genre: Theatre Duration: 50 mins Price: £10 Social Media Information Suitable for ages: 16 and over World premiere See venue page for accessibility information.

Fright Fest! (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Each year, New Jersey’s premier theme park draws thousands of thrill-seekers to Fright Fest – an after-sunset immersive haunting experience. This spooktacular event invites the Jersey Turnpike’s finest aspiring scare performers to come out of the woodwork and into the limelight! By late August, the casting notice is out, and in the hands of old souls who have scared before and fledglings, who are just starting their creepy careers. Regardless of experience, they all share one common desire: to be the most spine-chilling monster of them all. But, when technical difficulties threaten to halt auditions, the ‘boogey they/thems’ are determined that the scare must go on! With humour, heart, and a healthy dose of chaos, this one-act play offers a tribute to the (seasonal) unsung heroes of America's theme parks. Will you scream? Or just be left afraid of the dark? Event Details Genre: Comedy Duration: 60 mins Price: £5 Social Media Instagram frightfestplay Information This performance will include times of total darkness and jump scares. Suitable for ages: 14 and over World premiere See venue page for accessibility information.

Giving Out (CAMDEN FRINGE)

Liam is sick. Matthew is sick of him. Trapped in a run down flat in Belfast, dying of AIDs, Liam depends on Matthew for everything. He rants and rambles, desperate for release or entertainment. Matthew, meanwhile, finds his patience wearing thin. Liam is no angel, and Matthew is no martyr. Funded by the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club, this irreverent dark comedy traps the audience with the characters in a claustrophobia of illness, caregiving and resentment. One scene, one set, spanning one endless argument: every beat of the frustration and the building tension is felt in real time. Balancing raw humour with intense emotion, this two-hander confronts sickness, shame and guilt through a distinctly Irish humour. Rooted in the real historical context of both the Troubles and the AIDs crisis, the play sheds new light on overlooked perspectives. With biting dialogue and unbroken narrative, Giving Out offers an unflinching, immersive theatrical experience which is as funny as it is devastating. Event Details Genre: New Writing Duration: 60 mins Price: £15 Social Media Information TW: Suicide, Death and/or dying, Homophobia, Terminal Illness Suitable for ages: 16 and over See venue page for accessibility information.

Kabbarli: An Irishwoman In The Desert (CAMDEN FRINGE)

How far would you go to survive? What would you be willing to sacrifice to do what's right? Arriving in Australia in 1883, an Irish outcast lies and cheats her way to freedom. When she witnesses the devastation being wrought upon First Nations People, everything changes; she gives up her life for theirs. Then she betrays them to feed them. A true story about a morally complex woman, trapped with limited means. Does history have to repeat itself, or can it be our greatest reminder to do better? A one-woman-show by Georgia Nicholas. Event Details Genre: New Writing Duration: 50 mins Price: £12 Social Media Facebook: WalkInHerShoesProductions Instagram walkinhershoes.productions Information Content warning: heavily references the colonisation and systemic genocide of the Australian Indigenous Peoples.
