Line Up to be announced
Theatre that breaks the rules: Who said we had to go to bed?
Following the sell out success of the Midnight Matinees, we’ve decided London can’t live without them.
The Tristan Bates Theatre is excited to announce it's regular adventure into witching hour:
Every third Saturday of the month three new companies will have the chance to take a risk.
'So where were you in the wee hours of this morning? In bed? Oh dear. All the cool kids were at the theatre.
The Midnight Matinee is a great excuse to stay up late, have a few drinks and enjoy a few surprises, with the possibility of catching a theatrical gem in the making.'

The Yellow Wallpaper
WhiteSpace Theatre
Adapted and Directed by Sarah Elaine Stewart.
Featuring
Emmeline Cresswell, Joanne Clark,
Emma-Rachel Blackman and
Tom Kirkin.
‘The colour is hideous. The pattern is torturing. And I smell IT. It creeps all over the house. She wants to get out.’
Following a very successful run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, WhiteSpace Theatre and The Yellow Wallpaper return to London for an extremely different performance.
Based on the Classic Gothic Thriller by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper is a haunting, unsettling and claustrophobic exploration of a mind in turmoil.
Held captive and powerless by her over-protective husband in a disused nursery, a young mother is drawn into an increasingly dangerous game with a secret menace hidden within the repulsive walls; a creeping creature intent on infecting her mind.

Beguiling. Brave. Bold. Beautiful Theatre. This is complete one - off and the best show I have seen for a long time. A real must see. (Philip Herbert, Remotegoat)

The Rest Is Silence
made by
GetInTheBackOfTheVan
The Rest Is Silence was born out of the question, 'what happens if you treat speech as a physical gesture?'. Through examining where in the body it is that speech initiates and then pushing these findings to their physical extreme, GetInTheBackOfTheVan attempt to reveal the hidden narrative of words we think we know so well. The Rest Is Silence is continually evolving and is part of the company's larger aim to develop a new working process which refuses to sit exclusively in either physical or text-based theatre.
GetInTheBackOfTheVan is passionate about examining the participant/spectator relationship and we greatly value all your feedback. If you don't catch us in the venue, please email any thoughts to silence@getinthebackofthevan.com

We are constantly encouraging proposals and every month three new companies will have the chance to take a risk.
