Fringe’s home straight

It’s the last week of the 2024 Wanstead Fringe, and happily there are jewels still left in the programme.

Author Lizzie Dearden is speaking on Monday about her book which reveals the extent of foiled terror plots in the UK.

On Tuesday, writer Iain Sinclair will be in conversation with local hero John Rogers.

On Wednesday, film-maker Dan Edelstyn will be one of those discussing how to make your home as environmentally friendly as possible.

The theatre keeps coming with the much anticipated new production of Miss Julie starting at the Wanstead Curtain (the hall at Wanstead Methodist Church on Hermon Hill) on Tuesday. It runs until Saturday before transferring to the Courtyard Theatre in Hoxton.

Upstairs at the Bull there are two plays this week – Golden Sun & Silver Moon, a surrealistic fairy tale about the creation of the celestial firmament. And starting on Thursday is Short Plays, Big Stories, a collection of new writing and fresh talents.

The week’s climax will be a visit from the Natural Voices choir who will be marking the Fringe’s final day with a concert at St Mary’s in Overton Drive. It’s guaranteed to make you feel good.
