Join us for boogie, bingo and banter. This theatre piece, part of ‘Time To Be Late’ in partnership with Southwark Council, will celebrate a shared strength and dignity in unity. Stand up against the injustice that threatens to destroy our homes, history and identity all while dancing the night away.
