This October, comes a revelation.

A retelling of the Cleveland Street Scandal that shook England from James Fritz and director Jay Miller — featuring a flea, a horse, a detective, a queen, a pimp, a god, and a telegraph boy who knelt before the Crown.

Artist Daniel Oliver (@canibedaniel) speaks to @theatre_weekly about #NOW23, The Egg Show, mucking about, distractions, diversions, your inner child and being a dyspraxic performance artist 🍳

[The Yard Theatre @YardTheatre]

A very first early look into the making of The Egg Show from Daniel Oliver and our Yardlings Mazvita and Jessica — get ready for a gloriously chaotic trip into a yolk-covered world of egg dancing, acting and singing 🍳

[Yard Local @YardLocal]

On the way to a Yard Young Artists session after school, Mazvita took her jumper and pulled it over her head and decided that she was an egg. We said, yeah that's a great idea, here's the brilliant Daniel Oliver and some money. Now, let's make a show.

Performance artist Daniel Oliver & 10-year-old Yard Young Artist Mazvita bring us The Egg Show — a gloriously chaotic trip into a yolk-covered world where we will surrender to the weird and remember the power of play. Bring a jumper.

Today! It’s not too late to join @HackneyMuseum on their trip down memory lane for Hackney residents aged 55+. Hackney is a marvellous and unique borough - let’s share our stories and build a collective archive of this amazing place.

[Yard Local @YardLocal]

A+ local chat, an A+ quiz from Brian Lobel and (as usual) an A+ community to spend some time with at Hackney Wick Town Hall - we love to see it and can't wait for the next one 🎉

[Wick Award @wickaward]

So it's Hackney Wick Town Hall this Monday, Jan 30th, and it's going to be a big one! We're talking free food. We're talking a Wick Themed pub quiz. And we're talking all the usual Wick-focused planning. Are you in or are you in? https://t.co/MpKdGdWXuS

We're kicking off the year with another free family party for Hackney Wick — this time, we're celebrating our beautiful planet Earth and all the people who work to protect it. Designed entirely by our after school art club, The Maker's Guild!

Every year we reach over 500 young people through our programmes. The cost of living crisis is making it harder to keep this work free. Today, we launch our crowdfunder to raise £10k to ensure that our work with local communities can continue (a thread.)
