Festival of Brexit - Open Call for Submissions
This second Festival of Brexit evening will consist of a series of short pieces. Do join us and join in the discussion - whatever your take on Brexit.

So what deal? May's deal, another deal or a no deal. Of course none of them are really deals; just sets of unhappy holding arrangements while hugely expensive commisions work out what to do next. We'll get a joint press release at the beginning of an endless stream of other, lower profile, press releases. It will be another milestone along the route to Brexit becoming like the Loch Ness monster; an industry as well as a figment of fevered imagination.
But we'll be told it's a deal.
Brexit implied a finality of which it was not capable. Beyond the illusion of a once and for all vote on Europe lay a continuing national crisis of division and confusion, of interminable international negotiations and renegotiations that will last decades.
Nightmare? Or chance for a new vision?
Fittingly, Festival Of Brexit is a random series of events rather than an actual festival. The next event is a scratch night on Wednesday 15th May where people that have submitted ideas may be invited to present short pieces of work.
