“A new writing night where casting, rehearsing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening.” Once a month, writers are given the chance to see their words brought to life by performers, who in turn get to hone their improvisation and workshopping skills in a relaxed atmosphere, and be on the pulse of new work. Sketches, monologues, duologues, spoken word, performance poetry – as long as it’s new! Stitchin’ Fiction strives to create new links between passionate creatives – pulling words off the page and into reality. Based in the heart of North London, join in or come along to watch the newest of new writing from 7:30pm! Date: Tuesday 3rd February Time: 6pm for Participants – Public Scratch Performance begins 7:30pm followed by Q&A Venue: The Boogaloo, 312 Archway Road, London, N6 5AT The Boogaloo with Stitchin’ Fiction strive to create new links between budding creatives. Our aim: to give you a platform to show your work and take creative risks. Get the words out of your notebooks and your laptops; give them life in this relaxed scratch evening.
Learn how to develop your singing voice from total scratch
You don’t need to have previous singing experience or be able to read music as this workshop will teach you the singing essentials of breathing techniques and vocal skills in four hours for £25.50.
Kieran and Idit will show you how to transform your speaking voice into a singing voice through practical techniques. Not only will these techniques help improve your singing but also your voice for presentations and public speaking. And that’s not all, for completing the Level 1 workshop you will receive a certificate.
It will be fun and entertaining and to help you we will email the song sheets upon booking so you become familiar with the chosen songs.
Feedback from Elaine who attended our Beginners Workshop in January: “I loved the workshop. I thought it was very well organised. As a complete beginner, the focus on interactive learning (i.e. theory, practice and feedback) was very helpful. I came away with a lot more confidence but, rather than just a feeling of increased confidence, I have learnt techniques that could develop my singing voice.”
Find out more and book via our Workshops page.
Featuring songs from Miss Saigon & Matilda
This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in an ‘open to all levels’ singing workshop of songs from these famous West End musicals.
Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced singer you’ll enjoy singing fabulous songs from the West End and training your voice at the same time. Take a look at a short video of workshop run by Idit.
In the first session of the workshop we’ll teach you basic breathing and vocal techniques and show you some performing skills which you’ll be using later in the singing session.
You’ll be coached individually as well as working with the group. Kieran and Idit will prepare you for a short performance at the end of the workshop. Once you book your place on the workshop we’ll email you the song sheets with web links so you can practise in advance.
Great fun, not to be missed! Find out more and book via our Workshops page.

The story of a 20th century dad, his son & Brahms
Anton does his best but it’s a heartless and tough world out there – what with the Nazis, internment, a loveless marriage and a son he can’t communicate with. Being Brahms is a much better option, a world of soothing lullabies and the lovely Clara Schulmann to drool over, a world where everything seems so much clearer.
Multi award winning playwright Gail Louw blends a universal, heartfelt story about fathers and sons with the wondrous music of Johannes Brahms in this new one-man drama.
Gail Louw has her plays performed throughout the world: Duwayne, (Best New Play at Brighton Fringe), Blonde Poison (Argus Angel, Best of the Fest – San Francisco, South Africa and Sydney Opera House). Miss Dietrich Regrets (Naledi Award). And this is my friend Mr Laurel, with Jeffrey Holland (Edinburgh and tour), Two Sisters (Los Angeles and UK). Most recently is sell out UK tour of The Mitfords. Oberon have published two collections of Gail’s plays.
Once described by The Stage as an actor of all parts, Andrew Wheaton has played everything from a dead body in a comedy thriller to multi-role ensemble work, and major roles in productions as diverse as Shakespeare and musicals in the West End and New York.
