This year’s Ventnor Fringe Festival is truly offering something for everyone and tickets are selling out fast, so don’t forget to book your tickets for a range of shows from theatre to live music, cabaret to comedy, circus, spoken word, discussions, creative workshops and more.
Following a successful debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Unwanted Objects – which has already been to the Brighton Festival Fringe, OSO Barnes and Buxton Festival Fringe – will be heading to Ventnor next week.
A new story and song show
Old teddy bears, abandoned chess sets and ships-in-bottles… Every item in this mysterious and magical secondhand shop has its own history to share and tale to tell.
Unwanted Objects, a new story and song show from acclaimed duo David Head and Matt Glover.
Bittersweet short stories with folk-inspired musical melancholia
Combining bittersweet short stories with folk-inspired musical melancholia, it is storytelling theatre full of wit, whimsy and warmth.
Unwanted Objects is an exploration of sentimentality, our possessions and the meaning we attach to them.
Directed by Laura Killeen (Godot is a Woman, The Pleasance).
