7.45pm, £12
Mile End is a frantic, contemporary mix of arresting visual performance, puppetry and multi-media. Presented by Analogue, a young Surrey based company, this performance is inspired by the devastating true story of the murder of Christophe Duclos, who was pushed in front of a train at Mile End station in 2002 by Stephen Soans-Wade.

Michael lives alone and is entrenched in his daily routine. When a minor occurrence threatens the fragile order he so desperately relies upon, he struggles to keep one foot in the door of reality. Alex is having dreams; snapshots of the future which disturbingly appear to come true. Kate is very much awake, but before long even her reality is threatened by her husband's nightmares, as he attempts to prevent the inevitable. A startling sequence of events culminates in a “chance” encounter on the platform of Mile End Station.

This innovative piece was a major success at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it won two awards and was nominated for five more. There will be a post show talk at The Drum on Thursday 27 Nov.
