Chemistry

Chemistry

The Lantern Theatre 77 St James Street, Brighton

Chemistry | ★★★★★ hit comes to the Brighton Fringe: Witty and tender, Chemistry is a life-affirming love story sparked in therapy. Steph’s battling chronic depression. Jamie’s crashed after pushing himself way too far, way too fast. They meet in a psychiatrist’s waiting room - hardly the stuff that rom-coms are made of - but the spark is instant and undeniable. What follows is messy, electric and unexpectedly beautiful. When your own brain feels like the enemy, is falling in love the bravest thing you can do - or the most reckless? Studies show that 1 in 4 adults in England will experience a mental health problem each year. Darkly funny and deeply moving, Jacob Marx Rice's Chemistry is a frank exploration of how we manage love - and life - when we rely on chemicals to keep us balanced. May 15 - 9 PM-10 PM May 16 - 9 PM-10 PM May 17 - 2 PM-3PM May 18 - 9 PM-10 PM May 19 - 9 PM- 10 PM May 20 - 9 PM - 10 PM May 21 - 7 PM - 8PM

1816

1816

The Lantern Theatre 77 St James Street, Brighton

1816 - Hot on the heels of Camden Fringe and off-West End success, 1816 returns to the stage. It’s Byron and Shelley, as you've never seen them before. A Friends meets Frankenstein comedy-drama musical, from the same company that launched SIX: 1816 is the ultimate origin story of the first modern vampire novel and Frankenstein, where a group of five Romantics get trapped for a summer they'd rather forget in their storm-swept villa by Lake Geneva... Trapped indoors by torrential rain, legendary writers Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends, Polidori and Claire search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. Driven by a desire for escapism, they challenge one another to create the best ghost story. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together. Polidori’s diary is brought to life in the 1816: The Year Without A Summer musical.
