A medieval mystic and a scribe walk into a 21st-century dorm room . . . No, that’s not the start of a joke. It’s the beginning of Talking to Margery, a play written and directed by Zoë Alexander in which famed mystic Margery Kempe (Denise Evans) and her devoted scribe (Jamie Izzet) somehow end up in the room of university student Grace Thomas (Billie Early) in Leicester. All of this is set to musical accompaniment by harpist Alice Brightman, who composed the music for the show.

“Do you really want me to risk my life for your entertainment?”When a show begins with a content warning about balloons, ‘80s music and danger, you know you’re in for an interesting one.

A bit misleading, but what can one do?

“Lesson one - what is a laser?”Space Planet Mission: The Improvised Sci-Fi Epic’s title is pretty self-explanatory - the cast of the show will be putting on a sci-fi-themed improvisational show, coming up with an entirely new story before the audience’s eyes. An added bonus? There is a live musician accompanying the improvisational journey, making for just a bit more of immersion into the sci-fi world. Never been to an improv show before?

PEAR: Phobia makes quite the interesting promise to its audience. Patrick and Hugo McPherson, 6’7” identical twins, proclaim that, by the end of the show, there will be no more fear in the world. Take that, Fleabag. As audience members enter the tent, they are invited to write down what they are afraid of on a slip of paper, placing in a bucket that is passed around before the start of the show.
