BEN TARGET
How to Build a Lighthouse // 7.30pm
Tales of belonging, goodbyes, forgiveness and a life that spans oceans.
Critically-acclaimed artist and Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee Ben Target presents a tender show for the soft-hearted. A show about goodbyes, loneliness and never being able to feel at home. It’s time to say goodbye to your baggage with storytelling, origami tutorials and thumping rock anthems.
16+ | This show contains mild-strong language, references to sex, suicide, self-harm and abuse.
Commissioned by The Yard Theatre.

JULIA CROFT AND NISHA MADHAN
Working On My Night Moves // 9pm
A mesmerising dreamscape of tinfoil astronauts, dispersing atoms, The Wizard of Oz and Enya, inverting, making and remaking the entirety of time and space.
Winner of a Total Theatre Award 2019, Julia Croft and Nisha Madhan are breaking the rules, the patriarchy and the space-time continuum. Working On My Night Moves is the search for multiple feminist futurisms, a reaching for outer space and a fever dream. With science fiction, quantum physics and dubstep mash ups, this is a quest for utopia.
This show contains strobe lighting.
