The black bearded diva, Le Gateau Chocolat comes to the King's Head Theatre after a year in absentia. Exploring the bittersweet richness of the dark, with the creamy decadence of the light in a brand new chocolat assortment. Each night, a specially curated operatic song cycle will offer a meditation on where do we go and who do we become when we lose our anchor? Guest artists will take up the mantle of Gateau’s original production.

Tender Napalm

Tender Napalm

'I could push a bullet between those lips. Gently. I wouldn't break a single tooth'Philip Ridley's seminal Tender Napalm was hailed an instant classic when it premiered in 2011. Named Best Show by the Observer, Time Out and The Guardian, it has since been performed worldwide. The show now makes its long overdue return  - in a startling, brand new production -  to surprise and seduce all over again.Two lovers. A desert Island. Sea serpents. UFOs. Tsunamis. Unicorns. Atomic bombs. What is this thing...called love?
