Exhibition – ‘Windrush, Garvey and Seacole: Black History’
Until 17th October

Benji Reid Double Bill - until 25th October

13 mics – Benji Reid is a hip hop veteran and body popping champion. As he astral travels from bebop to hiphop he takes us from soothsayer to gangster rapper, hip-hip backpacker to bling-blong. Raucously acted and hilariously observed this is theatre, dance and rap, encased in funk laden sounds of live bass guitar, drums and djing – in London for the first time

The Pugilist – Barry is a tired boxer slipping towards retirement but still caught up in the trappings of success. Goffa is his second and his confidante. Through his childlike innocence Goffa is the only one who sees Barry for who he really is.

The Pugilist is a simple story about the trials of boxing and life told with aching humour and compassion through one bucket, mop and man

“In 16th century India, two virgins play at being friends. They’re destined to grow apart but sex, as taught buy the Karma Sutra, soon has them inextricably entwined. The film is visually delicious.” – Time Out

“Mira Nair’s lively ensemble comedy centres on Punjabi family in contemporary Delhi about to celebrate a marriage. With only four days to go before the wedding ceremony, it seems the preparations will never be complete, and already guests are arriving from around the world. Cracks begin to appear in this happy façade as past betrayals are exposed and present fears are revealed.” – London Film Festival
