This Is How We Die | BAC | Until 20 June | 8:30pm | £12-£15
We caught Christopher Brett Bailey simply amazing ‘show’ at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate. It has returned to the scene of a 2014 sell-out run after a national tour, and is not to be missed. Surreal, relentless, boundary-destroying and provocative – the less specific said the better, so as not to spoil the experience.

I am Joint Editor at To Do List. I like: nice pubs, film marathons, not doing real marathons, bad comedy, plays/musicals with shorter second halves, and the Oxford comma.
