Breaking Up With Reality

Breaking Up With Reality

written & directed by Eden Harbud

14th - 16th October @ 7:30pm

Reality abandoned all of us. This is an exploration of our break up with our past, and the new relationship we have with our future.

Nominated for a Short Run #OffFest Offie award, and performed LIVE for the first time, Nod At The Fox combines spoken word, recorded soundscapes and music to create a love letter to Reality. It's hard having to only greet Reality with an elbow bop, but if we get any closer they will break our hearts all over again.

About The Bread & Roses Theatre

A 40- to 60-seat fringe venue above The Bread & Roses Pub, this intimate and versatile space boasts a wide variety of productions which bring in local and far-reaching audiences alike. Artistic quality and representation of our societies' real diversity are at the heart of the theatre's programming with a focus on new writing, underrepresented voices, distinctive work and the development of new work and opportunities. As well as welcoming visiting companies, the theatre hosts an in-house schedule of its own, producing well received in-house productions and facilitating a range of schemes and events.

More a creative hub than simply a venue, the Bread and Roses Theatre offers many ways for emerging creatives to take to the page or stage. Theatre-makers are offered rich and challenging writing opportunities to involve in and box office split deals with no hidden fees. Thereby providing audiences with a constantly increasing diversity of perspectives, voices and creative approaches.

Contemporary revivals, reinvented classics, devised work, improvisational theatre, comedy events, family shows and physical theatre – this adaptable space can accommodate all.

Located within walking distance of several Underground and Overground stations in London Travel Zone 2 (Clapham North, Clapham Common, Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road) as well as major bus routes, the theatre sits in a brilliant location.

The pub itself offers drinks, food, a beer garden and a vibrant live music scene on Fridays and Saturdays - after the theatre performances are finished.
