Fringe Preview Night
Join us at The Lantern Theatre for our Brighton Fringe Preview Night and Launch Party!
Enjoy live and digital previews of 15 of the shows that will be performing at the Lantern this Fringe, and then join us for a complimentary drink in the bar to celebrate the beginning of Fringe season!
Artists will also be available afterwards for interviews and our team will be able to answer any questions you have about our programme as well as arrange press comps for the shows.
This Fringe we have curated the best of local, national, and international fringe theatre. With 28 shows, we are one of the largest fringe venues specialising in theatre this year, and we can’t wait to share our programme with you. It’s bold, fresh, and thought-provoking.
Previews include: Chopped Liver & Unions (Blue Fire Theatre Co.), Magpie (Pigs Back Productions), Six Characters in Search of Pirandello (Timothy Coakley), RANK. (GOLDSTONE), The Waiting Room (Moon Kim Theatre Company), Dinner! Darlings! Dinner! (Josephine Pembroke Productions), That Witch Helen (Sibyl Theatre), Karaoke at the S.U (Cubicle Theatre), Geneva Convention (Blank Productions), 1,2,3 Sh*t. That’s My OCD (AM•UAЯT), The Strange Case of Dr Dillon (Bramble Theatre Art), and Chuck ‘n’ Jeck

Chopped Liver & Unions
In the East End of London the fires of rebellion and change have burned for centuries. In 1888 the Matchgirls strike leads the way in industrial action and the formation of the Trades Union movement, then in 1968 the women of Fords in Dagenham strike, leading to the introduction of equal pay legislation.
Between all of this, in 1928 Sara Wesker forms the United Clothing Workers Union, is elected to the Communist Party of Great Britain’s Central Committee and fights at the Battle of Cable Street. She also just happens to have a nephew who is a famous playwright. This is her story.
Chopped Liver & Unions is a story from a century ago but is very much a play for today. Last year’s debut at the Brighton Fringe was “highly recommended” by Fringe Review and it went on to win excellent reviews and audience feedback and an OffFest nomination, as well as being a “Pick of the Fringe” at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Magpie
9:00 pm-10:00 pm

http://lanterntheatrebrighton.co.uk/event/magpie/
Ireland, 1923.

Civil war has split country, friend and family. The story of “Magpie” follows two brothers, Michael and Patrick Murphy, within the confines of Kilmainham Gaol. One an IRA gunman fresh from the trenches of WWI, the other a Freestate prison guard. Both haunted by the past.
“Magpie” probes the complexity of loyalty between family and national allegiance, ideology, and experience. It resonates powerfully in today’s volatile times of war and conflict; enduring themes, as relevant today as they were a century ago.
