A Day in Paris... in London!

Un Jour à Paris

On 21 June, let yourself be transported to the heart of the French capital without leaving London, with ‘A Day in Pari’s, a French-language play with English surtitles, directed by Candice Desmet. On a small cobbled square, somewhere between dream and reality, lives intertwine, glances cross paths, and each person writes, in their own way, a note in the city’s grand melody.

To mark the occasion of the Fête de la Musique, this special evening will blend poetry, theatre and rhythm, in an atmosphere that is both gentle and vibrant. The performers bring to life a tender, humorous and sometimes melancholic Paris, where everyday details become moments of emotion.

In the second half, the tone shifts but the energy remains with an improvised comedy match led by the brilliant Improzac troupe. Two teams will face off under the watchful eye of a ruthless referee, guided by audience suggestions, in a burst of creativity and humour.

A rich, lively evening full of surprises — the perfect escape to the City of Light. Seats are limited, so book now and don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event.

Enrolment now open!

An evening where talent improvises freely!

On Wednesday 28 May, the audience at Toulouse Lautrec put their cheek muscles to the test!
For this third edition of the Improv’ Show, laughter was guaranteed… and the performers on stage rose brilliantly to the challenge!

A huge round of applause for Maria, Manuela, Charlie, George, and Sam, who, under the guidance of Guillaume (their teacher in the weekly improvisation workshops), introduced us to a cheerful team of Ghostbusters in the Movie Madness game. There was also a hilarious Dutch square featuring a runaway tortoise, a child with scissor-hands and his poor mother (well… perhaps not so poor, more like rich!), some very peculiar flatmates, and a young man who tried every root vegetable in his quest to win over his beloved. And let’s not forget two episodes of the Armando, with a delightful jumble of YouTube video screenings, a faulty bidet, and a cat who was very, very bossy with his owner!

In the second half, it was time for the unbridled imagination of The Parentheticals. Fran and Guillaume captivated the audience with a mission as absurd as it was hilarious: a search for a microwave in the jungle! George, Gerald (and his glorious lock of hair), the monkey, and the talented Dr Jones took us behind the scenes of science!

 

A big thank you to the Toulouse Lautrec team for their warm welcome and the touch of French flair they brought to the evening.

And of course, a heartfelt thanks to you, the audience, who came out in large numbers to support and cheer on the performers. Your laughter, suggestions, and applause filled the room with energy and warmth!

We can’t wait to see you again for more theatrical adventures, especially on 21 June for A Day in Paris: an evening blending theatre and improvisation in celebration of La Fête de la Musique, set in a Paris that’s both poetic and full of life.
A date not to be missed… book your tickets on our website section ‘our shows’ now!

All pictures and video from the show will be available here soon!

Save Waterloo Paradise

Old Paradise Yard and the adjacent park need your help!

Act’in Theatre was born in Old Paradise Yard nearly 9 years ago. Since the end of January 2024, Act’in has been ‘invited’ to leave, our company and around thirty others because we have created Save Waterloo Paradise, a campaign that defends the right to protect this creative and natural place.

Even if we’re no longer based in this little oasis, an incredible place of creation and natural habitat for many species… we must protect it for our future generations.

Help us save Waterloo Paradise by signing the petition and sharing it with others! Together, we can make a difference!

Act'in workshops:

Act’in Theatre has been offering workshops for all levels since 2015!

So there’s no excuse not to “DARE” a new discipline! Small groups in a warm and relaxed environment: we play, we learn and, above all, we develop at our own pace in a friendly atmosphere!

So … GO! 🙂
