Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show on the big screen.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. 

The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019.
Presented by DryWrite, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre

Dir: Vicky Jones  Written and performed by: Phoebe Waller-Bridge

★★★★★

‘A triumphant return for Phoebe Waller-Bridge's hilarious, relatable and painful one-woman show.’ The Stage, London ‘The theatrical event of the autumn, perhaps even the year.’ Broadway World Reviews from previous runs in New York and London 'Witty, filthy and supreme.'
Guardian 'Never has being a modern woman seemed so painfully funny, brutal, and hopeless all at once.'  Atlantic
 

Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play. 
1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.

Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre. 

‘A love letter to theatre’ Evening Standard ‘Will give you goosebumps’ Independent ‘Immaculately directed by Sam Mendes’ Times ‘A witty, deft, touching evocation of a fascinating, fraught encounter’ Telegraph ‘A brilliant, compassionate new play’ Financial Times

The screening of the film "The Color of Ink" has been postponed by a day, from Friday morning, January 31st, to the following day, Saturday, February 1st, at 11:00 AM.

Ink is our primordial medium – it has recorded the evolution of humanity. The film ‘The Color of Ink’ is a poetic and chemical journey, revealing the mystery and power of the medium through the eyes of Jason Logan, a visionary ink maker. Working with ingredients he collects in nature – weeds, berries, tree bark, flowers, rocks, rust – he makes ink from almost anything and sends custom-ordered inks to an eclectic range of artists around the world, from a New York caricaturist to a Japanese calligrapher whose work is a stirring blend of words, illustration, ink and movement. He also visits some of them, such as an artist who creates ochre colors from rocks, or indigenous artists who make red color from beetles in Mexico (he sends the red ink he produces to Margaret Atwood, creator of "The Handmaid's Tale", who draws women in red dresses for him). When the ink and the colors he sent take on a life of their own, his playful alchemy paints a story of color that reconnects us to the earth and returns us to a childlike sense of wonder. A film that delights in the sensuality of ink, in the way it is absorbed by paper, mixes with other colors, influences them, seeps into them, arouses a passion for chemistry, or alchemy and above all, it is a song of praise for craft, for deliberateness, for wonderful control of materials, for the simplicity of creation and life.

The film joins a common movement that is growing worldwide, to revive analog media and natural paint, not only as a nostalgic act – in a digital age, when the line between truth and lies has become so slippery, there is a yearning for the indelible substance of ink and the tangible connection of the language of handicraft. Throughout civilization, ink has remained our most enduring documentation, a fossilized human consciousness. And in its quick radiance, one can discover the magic of a medium that still binds us like nothing else – a stamp of authenticity in an age of binary code.
