★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Would rival anything put on at the National” - Frankenstein 2025
At the height of his power, Othello is Venice’s greatest general - respected, unstoppable, and newly married to the passionately loyal Desdemona. But in promoting another to be his trusted lieutenant, Othello has unknowingly created a deadly enemy - his overlooked, underestimated, and quietly venomous advisor, the duplicitous Iago. What follows is a furious unravelling of trust, love, and identity in a web of betrayal, manipulation and revenge.
“Put out the light, and then put out the light.”
In a world that punishes vulnerability and devours beauty, Discarded Nut rips into Shakespeare’s most devastating tragedy, exposing razor-sharp insights on toxic power, race, and human fallibility. Visually arresting, brutally honest, and emotionally explosive, Othello is a fearless exploration of what happens when we’re driven to the edge.

“lip-blisteringly nihilistic beat poetry”
Come see Christopher Brett Bailey (This Is How We Die) perform I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven. Fear and Loathing meets South Park in a screwball monologue that's part romance, part buddy comedy, part body horror.
Two miles north of Hell, a nameless deadbeat narrator spots Satan buying soy milk at the 7-Eleven. Satan's a washed-up has-been, who’s totally lost his edge. That is until he falls in love with our narrator and the two embark on a debauched misadventure, by turns slapstick, violent, whimsical, dreamlike and tender.
WARNINGS

“Breathy and textural tones that perfectly create a sense of space and memory”
Harry Christelis and his quartet perform music from Preserving Fictions, a captivating blend of jazz, folk, and ambient soundscapes. Expect inventive interplay, haunting beauty, and deep emotional resonance from this remarkable group of musicians.
Guitarist and composer Harry Christelis presents his new album, Preserving Fictions — an exploration of how music and art can serve as a means to preserve and document the seeming truths we see, hear, feel, and experience every day. This record, a continuation and development of his 2025 EP Half Truths (recorded during the same session), sees Christelis delve deeper into a sound world that has become synonymous with his name, fusing elements of jazz and folk traditions with ambient drones and delicate electronic textures to create a truly immersive listening experience.
Featuring his long-standing quartet of Christos Stylianides (trumpet/effects), Andrea Di Biase (double bass/synth), and Dave Storey (drums), the highly acclaimed musicians constantly break free from their traditional roles within the jazz idiom. Instead, they embrace a deeply communal approach to improvisation, colouring, shaping, and delineating every moment of each piece together. Across the adventurous 58-minute album, the listener is taken on a journey that moves through dreamy psychedelic trips, expansive soundscapes, delicate moments of intimacy, and furious bursts of energy — all seamlessly bound by a tone that holds sombre and hopeful feelings in harmonious equilibrium.
“Compelling ambient music pitched somewhere between In A Silent Way-era Miles Davis and late-era Talk Talk”
