To help set theatre up to thrive once again Pleasance will partner with VAULT Creative Arts to present Fringe Futures Festival. Taking place across May and June, this brand-new festival will present live work-in-progress shows from leading independent performance makers. The festival will take place in the newly configured, socially distanced Pleasance Downstairs, Islington and Pretty Vacant, Waterloo. Fringe Futures Festival will provide an opportunity for early and mid-career artists to try out work at various stages of development in front of a live audience.
But this isn’t all the Pleasance has got in store! Pleasance Islington will reopen its doors on Monday 17 May with a busy programme of comedy, theatre, drag and musicals. Continuing with the socially distanced cabaret layout trialled in December, the main house will have table service for drinks from the bar as well as pizzas from Pleasance’s neighbours The Depot.
Pleasance’s programme includes Godot is a Woman, EXPRESS G&S, The Producers! (No, not that one), Ginger Johnson and Pals, The NextUp Relaunch Party, The Laughable Live Freedom Party and shows from Joel Dommett, Rob Beckett, Bridget Christie, Joe Thomas, Sindhu Vee, Fern Brady, Rich Hall, Sarah Keyworth, Nabil Abdulrashid, Catherine Bohart, Phil Wang, Liz Kingsman, and Sophie Duker.
