January 2012. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.
Jazz In The Round. Presenter of BBC’s Jazz On 3, Jez Nelson, hosts a monthly barrier-busting jazz/contemporary music binge at The Cockpit every last Monday of the month, starting January 30th. Inaugural night: Orphy Robinson, Steve Williamson, Pat Thomas plus Yazz Ahmed Trio with Lewis Wright and Dave Mannington plus Stuart McCallum plus Jez and his Blue Note collection in the bar afterwards - For seven quid!

You are cordially invited to The Cockpit's Christmas Cock-up. Only its not for 11 months. The last one was brilliant.... hope you were here. If not, come to the next one.
And starting NOW we have The Lost Gold Project. King Antac Productions, working in close collaboration with The Cockpit , invites Actors of all backgrounds and Drama/Acting and Creative Writing Students of all ages to a series of classes, workshops, lectures and rehearsed readings of some of the most innovative and neglected work of the last fifty years....
PLUS we are running reservations for the monthly John Calder's Theatre of Literature. It's not at The Cockpit - it's down in Waterloo - but Calder and the Cockpit go way back, so we couldn't help but get involved. These are rare, intimate, authoritative evenings covering key moments in literary history informed by one of the last men alive that helped make them.
Plus SQUINT are here with their new writing event on the 8th Jan, and then our very own scratch night Theatre in the Pound on the 9th, a workshop production of The Seagull on the 15th, The Ariellah Dance Showcase on the 27th leading us into February for Eurocrash! The Musical followed by Swivel Theatre's production of Twelfth Night.......
"I would I had bestowed that time in the tongues that i have in fencing, dancing, and bear-baiting. Oh! had I but followed the arts!"
Theatre In The Pound
Theatre In The Pound (or TIT£ for short) is our monthly open access, low cost scratch night. People rent the theatre for a pound a minute for 15 minutes. A greater range of work, by a greater range of people. Apply now. Or come and watch for a quid on the night. No artistic policy whatever. And proud of it. Anything legal considered. No jugglers.
