THEATRE
Cabaret for the End of the World
written and peformed by Cathy Wippell
Well, fuck. Things aren’t looking great eh? Life’s been a little hard since day zero, hasn’t it? The nuclear winter’s setting in bitter this year. And there’s a cost to kindness but nobody can afford it. It’s every rat for themselves.
An accordion, a pistol and bottle of home-brewed absinthe. That’s all you need to get by in this post-apocalyptic wasteland. Well, it’s all I need, at least. It’s hard to remember a time when we possessed so much.
Anyhoooooo, why not celebrate your sorry existence on this horrific Earth by plodding down to what remains of the Bread and Roses Theatre for songs, storytelling and survival tips?
Oh, and just a little warning – this one ain’t for the faint of heart.
All my love – if such a thing exists anymore –

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
