Someone sneezes.
Someone can’t get a signal.
Someone won’t answer the door.
Someone put an elephant on the stairs.
Someone told the police.
Someone’s never felt like this before.

An absolutely stunning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for Patronage

“In Patronage, a uniquely talented writer, cast and crew have joined forces to create something genuinely outstanding. To pilfer from the great man himself, together, somehow, they chipped away everything that doesn’t look like David. This is how it’s done.” - London Pub Theatres

From the writer of Spy for Spy (‘a revelation!’ - The Times and The Sunday Times), Tomorrow In The Battle (‘white hot passion’ - The New York Times) and Stockwell (‘the most important play of the year’ - Daily Express).

Simultaneously a riotous laugh-a-minute comedy and a bleak reminder of the terrifying void that awaits each of us, Stories for Boys is the touching tale of a donkey and a fish grappling with the universe’s most profound question: to be, or not.* Bach, Wittgenstein, Ibsen and Turner are eagerly enlisted in a series of pell-mell, antic attempts to dissolve the outstanding paradoxes of our time; life versus death, love versus s*x, fish versus donkey.

Tip Top Theatre Collective is back with Growing Pains!

Tessa is a teacher…or writer…or teacher…

Not qualified for much, at 25, Tessa is a failed fringe writer, a sponge for her partner and tasked with inspiring the future with a GCSE class more focused on her demise than their exams. Mid-Twenties angst is real. With no answers, can Tessa, really, teach anyone… anything?

May 31st-June 1st
