      One autumn night in London, the lights all gradually go out. With the sky darker than it's been for a hundred years - what will we do, London?

      Gaze into the heavens like never before, discover a new star with the help of an old star-gazer, or just kick back and watch a couple of episodes of 'Constellation Street'? Interepid theatre-makes from London Bubble's various drama groups combine bold storytelling and choral sectacle to bring you a celestial celebration of our place in the cosmos.

    • The Night We Slept with Seething Wells

      December 4th 2009 - November 4th 2009

      • Drama

      Steven 'Seething' Wells was a force to be reckoned with. Whether jumpstarting the 1980s poetry scene or filling the pages of the NME with his statue-toppling invective, he wasn't known for lying down and taking it. It took Hodgkin's lymphoma to finally get one over on him. This evening his main microphone-mate Attila The Stockbroker presents a tribute night of poetry and punk. With an exciting array of special guests - all of them pretty seething in their own right - it's a fitting farewell to one of the real heroes of the 'no more heroes' generation.
