* * * * * SUPPORTED BY THE 2022 ENCORE INSURE BRIGHTON FRINGE BURSARY! * * * * *Mirror, semen, manoeuvre. HAM THEATRE present their brand new one act play - a fast paced, rather dark comedy with rather clever bits of physical theatre, music and singing, set around a group of strangers hoping to #avoidthepoints at a Speed Awareness course. Evangelical disciples from The Church of Right of Way (HIGHWAY-LUJAH!) appear alongside drivers you've probably fingered :0 to create funny & provoking theatre. The Hammers guarantee (ish) that in 1 hour, you'll laugh, cry, and learn some of the Highway Code you thought you knew already. Belt up and take a fully leaded look at how psychology affects performance behind the wheel, and witness the breaking of some rather personal, as well as legal limits. HAM THEATRE have previously performed sell-out shows, winning multiple Brighton & Hove Arts Council Drama Awards, we're proud winners of the 2022 Encore Insure Brighton Fringe Bursary Award, and also grateful to have received funding from the SPPAF.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
