Shunt Theatre are taking over a giant, abandoned slab of concrete on the River Thames and building a theatre venue out of old shipping containers...

In this new work commissioned by The Jetty, 30 people will disappear into the shipping containers every 10 minutes and be spat out 45 minutes later!

Where was I? Who was that strange man? What was wrong with his face?

'I will take you up the back stairs, but I must bandage your eyes first, for I never allow people to see those back stairs of mine.' - Charles Kingsley, The Water Babies

The Jetty will be hosting a pop-up bar serving street food and cocktails. Come for a drink, come for food and enjoy views of the river and the city beyond.

Access to the venue is free and booking is not necessary.
