Our Cola

One of the reasons I consider myself most fortunate to call Hackney my home is the theatrical treat that is the Arcola Theatre.

One of the top fringe theatres in the country, with a pay-what-you-can policy every Tuesday and it is walking distance from where I and many of m'colleagues reside.

Their latest productions, Knives in Hens and Heldenplatz, have been ratcheting up the laudings and praise and seem well worth the stroll. The fact that one can feast in Mangal's or, indeed, 19 Bos Cirrik beforehand is a huge but mere bonus.

Knives in Hens runs until the 27th February
Tickets are £14 or Pay What You Can on Tuesdays.

Heldenplatz runs until the 6th March
Tickets are £16 or Pay What You Can on Tuesdays.

Totally Non-Heinous!

The most excellent and always superbly attired, Mr Edwin Flay brings us the next instalment of his excellent adventures through the world of cabaret entertainment.

Thursday 25th February sees Flay and DeVille moving to pastures new at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern to present an evening that will amaze, astound and allure in equal, overflowing measures.

All while you look your most foppish and dandyish with that martini in one hand and hat doffed with the other.

Tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the door.
Doors at 7pm
