Fitzrovia Chapel, Fitzroy Place, 2 Pearson Square, London W1T 3BF
What will London be like in 2055? And how will Fitzrovia, this once-Bohemian corner of the city, have changed?
In a one-off collaboration with award-winning live literature event Liars’ League, the beautiful and iconic Fitzrovia Chapel presents a selection of ten-minute stories to jumpstart your imagination, which look at where we are now and ask What if …? Blending storytelling and theatre, professional actors bring many futures to life with readings of speculative stories inspired by those who live, work and study in Fitzrovia.
From Black Mirror-esque dystopian visions of illegal rice farms, turf wars with Bloomsbury and Marylebone, and crime in a two-tier society, to community gardens, communal kitchens & local artisans, all watched over by the BT Tower, these stories give an exclusive glimpse into all the news that hasn’t happened yet …
Earlybird tickets are just £5* (£7 on the door) and numbers are strictly limited.
*Some free tickets are available for Fitzrovia residents in financial need: please email fitzroviafutures@gmail.com to enquire.
