Final week to see WHAT WOULD JARVIS DO?

An experimental absurdist black comedy about fandom, grief, and the stories we attach to treasured objects. It’s a playful exploration of what happens when the people and things we hold onto disappear - and how we might find a way forward.

Clapham Lights returns on 27 November! ✨ Wrap up warm and get ready to welcome the festive season as Clapham comes together for its annual lights switch-on.

Join us on The Polygon this November to watch our magical flying nosy little troll switch on Clapham Old Town Christmas tree lights.

Featuring a winter market full of artisanal seasonal treats from local establishments, warming mulled w**e, live jazz, exciting rides and carol singing to get you in the festive spirit.

From 3:30 - 5pm: Drop into Omnibus Theatre, where little ones will have the chance to make their very own decorations with a local artist. The workshop is free and will be followed by a glowing procession over to the tree to begin the event.

Get your festive season off to a flying start right in the heart of Clapham’s buzzing Old Town.

at Omnibus: SHAKESPEARIMENT: AS YOU LIKE IT

Berlin’s radical Shakespeare format, SHAKESPEARIMENT is a bold theatrical experiment in which the ensemble meets for one rehearsal before performing live in front of an audience. The thrill of the evening emerges from risk, immediacy, and the electric exchange between performers and spectators.

PRESENTED BY TRAGICAL MIRTH, E.V
