The Midnight Matinees are a monthly late-night happening that test and develop new work from some of the UK’s most innovative artists. In June, they’re celebrating with Pride London by asking all their artists to revel in freedom of expression and spontaneity. The infamous Spam and Beans will be hosting the night, which promises to be a spectacle of performance poetry, interactive new media installations, comedy, music and dance.

Upstart Theatre will create another immersive piece of performance that looks at what it means to be young and free in the 1960s. Delving into the inner world of the mods and rockers Upstart will look at what effect youth culture has on mainstream society.

‘People try to put us down… Talkin’ ‘bout my generation’

A whole generation of teenagers sparked a moral panic.

Where are they now?

Have we forgotten what it’s like to be young?

Mods vs Rockers. Whose side are you on?

Where?

Tristan Bates Theatre, 1a Tower Street, Covent Garden WC2H 9NP

When?

Saturday June 19th at midnight

How Much?

A mere five pounds.

See you there!
