D&Q Theatre Presents
Pity Party
by Emma Bailey, directed/devised by Emma Bailey and Ismael Akram
Pity Party is all about celebrating life, sharing love, and losing yourself. Everything happens in one day, for one day only, at a party, in a theatre, and it will never be exactly the same - that's why it's live and why we're alive. The show explores how we impact events (or at least our experience of events), whilst allowing us to question how much we should believe in what we are seeing. Pity party is a comedy and a tragedy; it involves verbatim theatre, mixed media, dance, physical theatre, improvisation and text. It is a show of pure chaos, where no one can know for sure what is real and/or true. It is an intimate experience, but it is also an extremely public event. It is entirely Human.
It is a party unlike one you'll have ever been to before: there will be cake, there should be laughter, there may be tears, but "It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To"...

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.
