Welcome to the
Wandsworth Arts Fringe
2016 Programme
In May this year Wandsworth’s nooks and crannies are going to be
filled with some of the most exciting and dynamic live arts events.
You could find yourself in a Russian summer house in The Bedford
pub, watching a medieval puppet show in Heathbrook Park or
on a Midnight Run through Nine Elms. Whether you enjoy street
performances, family workshops, exhibitions, music or dance, there is
something for everyone.
This brochure and the wandsworthfringe.com website offer an easy
way to see what is on, when and where it’s on, and includes info and
links to book tickets. You’ll find many of the events are free to attend
although booking is advised.
New and often experimental work is shown in a huge variety of indoor
and outdoor venues during the Fringe - it’s a special time to get out
and try something new. Many of the events are drop in and accessible.
We are particularly proud to have BSL interpreted performances this
year. We encourage you to choose an event or performance you
haven’t heard of before in a new venue you haven’t visited. Experience
energetic, contemporary creativity in places you wouldn’t expect.
Thanks, as ever, to our fantastic, diligent steering group, Enable
Leisure & Culture Arts Team, Cath Mattos and an ambitious team of
young producers who have worked hard to realise this year’s Fringe.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Deputy Leader of Wandsworth Council

Mr Guff and Mr Batersby are currently globe trotting
and inaugurating Wandsworth Arts Fringe as far away as
Adelaide, Sydney, Womad and Belfast announcing WAF
WAS HERE with a commemorative Blue Plaque!
Miles of ribbons and kilometres of ties will have been cut
as they travelled not only to the boroughs of London, but
historical landmarks of the world, placing their plaque
and cutting the ribbon (and their ties) to celebrate WAF.
WAF WAS
HERE!
See if you can spot Mr Guff
and Mr Batersby as they
inaugurate all the WAF venues
in Wandsworth before the start
of the Fringe on 6 May.

Vinegar Strokes continues to prove that she

The show is a collection of short sketches that
are interlinked, with a song, a dance, altering
character parts and many costume changes.
Anything can happen, shoes turn into clocks,
voices into cats, stern women into mischievous
children.
Crohn’s Is S**t is a comedic story telling of my

Conscious Theatre
Nitroglicerina Theatre
Fragility
This is a wicked cocktail of fiercely ironic
performance laced with hilariously surreal
buffoonery. It investigates the way European
Media talks about immigration, putting our
reaction in the spotlight.
Joan Littlewood: brilliant, maverick,
revolutionary, rude. A series of snapshots to
show the woman behind the myth. A glorious,
lively one-woman show using Joan’s mix of
politics and variety. From triple award-winning
company Conscious Theatre.
An immersive theatre performance directed by us
but created by you. Don a mask and dive into a
surreal modern morality play whose story has yet
to be told. “Totally Unique!” “Really wonderful! it
made me feel euphoric” (Ed Fringe review 2015)
It’s about the profile picture and whether or not
you wake up like this, but it’s also about who
took it, the last time you got heartbroken by your
phone, about sex, and about other things that
you don’t want your mum to see on Facebook.

he must step on everyone around him to save
his own skin in this pacey black comedy about

Have them observe, listen, record, document,
everything that happens to them. Write a play
based on the experience. Welcome to The

Dirty Rascals
Brickhead
Uplifting stories about mastering the fears
that blind us, ignoring those niggling doubts
and winning. 2013 TO&ST award-winner Lynn
Ruth Miller guides us through eight decades
of teeth grinding challenges and victories that
kept her from jumping.
Spawny John, an army veteran, and Duck, an
inflatable duck, sit halfway down a Butlins water
slide. But they’re not the only ones looking
to do a spot of sliding today. A surreal dark
comedy addressing the finer points of death,
loneliness and soup.
Surreal Lecoq/Gaulier-trained clown Brickhead
takes you on a journey to worlds both weird
and profound.
‘Hard to explain and impossible not to like’
(Fringe Review). ‘Ludicrous humour at its best’
