Get Your Sneezes Ready: Hay Fever Comes to Arcola Theatre!

An interactive dark comedy where the audience decides what happens. Features a Polish song and stars Maja Bloom from Fantastic Beasts as a Polish character

8 May – 13 May 2023 – Arcola theatre

How could it all go wrong? An accidental murder in a supermarket? Or on a train platform? When two cops, Tom and Jerry, break into James and Monya’s flat on an early morning, their lives change forever. But when will the truth be revealed?

HAYFEVER is a dark comedy that explores how living by different cultural rules can eventually alter feelings and alienate you from a country which you thought you were part of. Are love and care always enough when someone has to overcome traumas from the past? In this production, the audience members will decide the actors destiny, zooming into any character’s inner feelings, requesting a monologue, a song, a “Feelicalise” at any time of the show.

Content Warnings: Contains sexual references and references to sexual violence, violence on stage, swearing, there is use of haze, strobe and live music. This is an interactive show and some actors will interact with audience members.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
