Bunker at the Lion and Unicorn (Camden Fringe)
★★★★ Harpy Productions' 'Bunker' is a bleak and sinister post-apocalyptic thriller. I made it in for its final night at the Lion and Unicorn as part of the Camden Fringe and I'm glad I did.

A JustOut Theatre double bill at the Lion and Unicorn
Saturday I enjoyed my first outing to the Lion and Unicorn pub theatre in Kentish Town. A lovely, welcoming venue that I'll definitely be visiting again, and not just because of my Camden Fringe Off-Fest assessor duties (although obviously that is a factor). The theatre space above the pub is well laid out and a … Continue reading A JustOut Theatre double bill at the Lion and Unicorn
