A play, al fresco
I’m all up for using the environment around you as you find it for creative purpose and who doesn’t love a bit of open air theatre on a late summer’s evening? Ryan Saunders, Nicola Stuart and Samuel Collings perform what sounds like, from the description, a retelling of the Adam and Eve story sometime in the future.
Little Wormwood Scrubs
The setting for this post apocalyptic tale, is appropriately enough, that sad, forgotten outpost of either eastern Wormwood Scrubs or western Notting Hill, depending on your perspective. When I first mentioned this to Wifey, she asked if the play involved foul mouthed kids doing wheelies on suspiciously small bikes while threatening passers by, in other words, an average summer’s evening on Little Wormwood Scrubs.
Well I won’t prejudge the performance any further, I’ll wait till I’ve seen it. After all it is free and, unlike an appalling performance wifey and I once caught at the Bush Theatre (the high point was one of the actors pissing into a cat litter tray), it shouldn’t be to hard to escape if the going gets rough.
Hopefully it won’t come to that - we wish them the best of luck.
Thursday to Sunday until August 31, 8pm, free.

I was wondering if you’d made it along to our show, The Garden? We were hoping you might be able to write about having seen it. We’ve had a tough time of it what with stabbings in Sunbeam Gardens meaning that we had to move the show to Wormwood Scrubs. Any further coverage to entice people along to it’s last performances thurs-sun would be much appreciated.

Hi Caryn,
Actually we were talking this evening about coming to see it, but realised it’s only Wednesday. We’ll try to come along tomorrow and I’ll definitely review it.

Oh excellent, it would great if you could come this eve. we’re in a sectioned off area of Little Wormwood Scrubs. You’ll see it immediately as you enter by No 1 Thai Cafe and just head diagonally for a couple of minutes. Your best contact for the evening is producer Giles.

Hi Caryn,
Sadly no, I got tied up. Worse still, I ended up at No 1 just after 9pm feeling rather guilty :-s
I’ll come along this evening though (Friday) for sure.
