Round up your pals and join in with this reality-bending live game. Together you will follow clues through the North Laine to avoid detection, collect tools and ultimately save Caroline Lucas and the planet. Hurry! Tickets are very limited.
Put the Book Down are back again after winning the Best of Brighton Fringe Theatre Award in 2017 with their new show, Insolence (The Warren: Theatre Box, 4-6 May, 14:30). This darkly funny play explores what it means to be a single parent and what happens at the line where love and obligation blur.
Still mourning the end of Fleabag? Eleanor Dillon-Reams’ debut show, HoneyBee (The Warren: The Nest, 3-6 May, 16:40) explores similar themes as she tells the story of Kate, a twenty-something woman who feels her life has been turned upside down. Frank and unflinching, Dillon-Reams combines relatable humour with physical theatre and spoken word.
Too Young To Stay In, Too Old To Go Out! (Sweet Werks 2, 3-5 May, 17:10) is a state of mind that many of us find ourselves in. With a series of original songs to accompany stories told by male and female characters, Nigel Osner returns with his show that casts a quizzical eye over getting that little bit older.
Fed up of history? Well, HERSTORY (The Warren: The Nest, 2-4 May, 18:10) chronicles the stories you didn’t learn at school. Focusing on the most enigmatic and misunderstood women from throughout history, this musical whistle stop tour through the ages is sure to leave you a little more enlightened.
After successful runs in 2013 and 2015, Yama Theatre Productions have revived their highly popular show Dead Happy? (The Warren: The Burrow, 6 & 20-22 May, 19:30) for Brighton Fringe 2019. Designed to make the best use of intimate spaces, this atmospheric and poignant show is sure to surprise you.
