The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favourite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone, the show comes to life onstage as he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors.

The Pajama Game is a lively musical based on the novel 7½ Cents by Richard Bissell. The story deals with labour troubles in a pajama factory, where workers demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded.

Wolf Meat
27th Feb - 1st Mar 7:45 pm £8 (£6 Concession) Grandma is the undisputed drugs queen of Croydon, but Detective Dawn Taylor will go to any lengths to bring her dirty dealing family to justice. Wildheart & Lyric bring their absurdist humour and compelling storytelling to an irreverent world of dirty deals and mistaken identity.
★★★★ “Irreverent, silly, naughty and daring, this production is not for the faint-hearted or easily offended.” Fringe Guru
Wolf Meat subverts well known characters and turns morals on their heads in this dark, sexy, raucous hour of theatrical anarchy. The play is continually deconstructed as the actors drop in and out of character and plot, and take audience interaction to a jaw dropping new level.
“Meta-deconstructive-fourth-wall-breaching-orgiastic fun, this was a seriously funny, tightly written and brilliantly acted hour of Fringe perfection.” Pink Fringe

Spillikin

After a long, childless and sometimes bumpy marriage, Sally has Alzheimer’s. Before Raymond died he created a robot, uploaded with his memories, to keep her company. It’s the ultimate love letter from beyond the grave: an endlessly patient memory-jogger and singing partner, giving order to her confusion, and becoming a new partner in the oddest of odd-couple romances. But as Sally’s mind fades, will the robot be more of a comfort or a threat? 020 7609 1800 www.pleasance.co.uk
Spillikin will make you laugh, cry, and ponder big questions of love, death, and technology. Prepare to have your heart broken by this five star sell-out Edinburgh show from Pipeline Theatre featuring a state-of-the-art robot as a full cast member. Afterwards there’s a Q&A session: meet the company, and get up close and personal with the robot, who can even answer your questions himself.

DIGS
6th - 10th Jun 7:45 pm £12 (£10 Concession) This explosive devised piece by Theatre with Legs asks the question: what is home?

With personal stories at the helm, from the bizarre to the profound, DIGS looks at how human behaviour plays out in both public and private space.
“Bairstow and Murrain seem to be channelling the domestic bite of Victoria Wood… the linguistic playfulness of Caryl Churchill” Upcoming
