HighTide festival transfers to London

Following its run in Aldeburgh, the HighTide new writing festival will transfer to Walthamstow Town Square Gardens from September 26 to October 8. The London season will feature the addition of work by local artists and a late-night comedy and cabaret strand. 

The season features a wealth of UA Talent, including the premiere of Kanye the First, written by Sam Steiner, and Heroine, featuring lighting design by Elliot Briggs; Mark Lockyer's one man show, Living with the Lights On; and Katie Bonna's All the Things I Lied About. The late night comedy and cabaret strand will feature performances by Kieran Hodgson. 

HighTide will partner with the National Theatre for the season in Walthamstow, and the festival will take place at HighTide’s pop-up venue the Mix, a portable, 267-seat theatre designed by Studio Three Sixty.
