THEATRE
MISSING LANE MARKERS ON THE A47
written and directed by Toby Moran Mylett
“If I wait here, the world stands still. Not the actual world, that would be ridiculous.”
Strangers along an anonymous road in the East Anglian countryside are thrown together by unusual circumstances involving roadworks and a pet iguana named Gloria.
When G crashes into a hedge somewhere in Norfolk, and Ted puts his all into looking after his ex-girlfriend’s reptile companion, neither could possibly foresee the bizarre and incredibly tenuous effects they'll have on other people dotted along this rural trunk route with nothing much going for it.
Toby Moran Mylett's new play is about the peculiarities of country life, the experience of being an outsider and the invisible lines that connect our experiences. Following previews in 2023 at Camden People's Theatre, fiftysixty bring this dryly funny and moving take on modern loneliness to audiences in South London.

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.
