Don't miss Penny Arcade in London's most alternative Christmas show at the Albany in Deptford from 15 - 23 December.
Queen of the underground and New York performance legend Penny Arcade invites
you to celebrate sex, freedom and art with her internationally infamous sex and censorship show where literally anything goes.
Penny Arcade B!D!F!W! is one of the most exuberant events ever to emerge from New York's downtown art scene. Blending outrageous humour, razor sharp satire, theatre, cabaret and erotic go-go dancing with uplifting audience dance breaks, B!D!F!W! propels the anarchic into the mainstream, creating a freedom of speech anthem and political provocation for our times.
Celebrate the festive season in style at the most alternative Xmas party in town.

An urgent and powerful play by debbie tucker green.
A family wake up to a normal day. By lunchtime one random act has changed everything.
It whisks the audience from laughter to comfortless sorrow in less than an hour. A remarkable piece blessed with empathy, substance, a palpable generosity of spirit
