One of the exciting things about London Theatre is the chance to see big stars in the flesh, and often VERY close up.
That’s certainly been the case at the chic new venue Found111 a new pop-up theatre space at the site of the original Central Saint Martins School of Art on Charing Cross Road which isn't much bigger then most people's living rooms.
Their current production BUG starring James Norton and Kate Fleetwood has been one of the hottest tickets in town over the last few weeks selling over 8,000 seats in record time across its limited season.
If you’ve missed it the producers have just announced a last opportunity to book tickets for this otherwise sold-out production announcing an additional matinee where all proceeds go the mental health charity MIND.
It will take place on Wednesday 11 May at 3pm.
Tickets cost £45 and can be purchased via www.Found111.co.uk. Bug will then end its extended, record-breaking run on Saturday 14 May.
James Norton said: “MIND is a wonderful and important charity and it has been incredible to work with them on Bug and have a deeper awareness of the issues of mental heath presented in the piece”
Producer Emily Dobbs added: “Bug deals with the sensitive issue of mental health and we have already worked with MIND to ensure this is portrayed accurately in the production. We are thrilled to support the amazing work this charity does.”
Tense and blackly comic, Bug is described as a taut exploration of two people on the edge; where the lines between reality and delusions become blurred. It is directed by Simon Evans, who triumphantly returns to Found111, following his celebrated, sold out production of THE DAZZLE earlier this year.
Not even a year after its opening, Theatre N16 in Balham is becoming the place to be. Over the last couple of months this new fringe venue has been a home to many companies who have showcased diverse material from classic to modern and political plays. This spring N16’s Artistic Director, Jamie Eastlake directs a play about one of the Guildford Four, Paul Hill.
