A Doll's Wedding by Xiaoyao Zhang

“I love her, who swells out of my body. Who is the only proof that I have fought against the world, and the only proof that I have existed here.Thank you so much for coming to my wedding. I love her and — I need no blessing.”

A Doll's Wedding is about a woman’s wedding with a doll. It is about the unblessed love in the confined town surrounded by the virus. It is about an individual who constantly hears the non-existent train whistles from outside the wall. Everyone is welcome to this beautiful and crazy wedding.

Mixed Sex by Samuel Normington

What happens when your favourite girl band member quits, adopts a risqué new style, sexually suggestive lyrics and dance moves? And then you replicate these aforementioned dance moves for your Christian extremist parents? And you're a ten year old boy in the mid nineties?!?! Well you can find out at an evening of queer joy, celebrating carebears, girl groups and generally being different at the first rehearsed reading of Mixed Sex.

 
 

Tickets are £3 with an optional donation at checkout.

New Stuff finishes at approximately 7:45pm, but we welcome all to join us for continued conversations in the bar downstairs.
