Live Acts and Sound at Grand Union

As part of our February live acts programme we have Tom Marshman performing Passion of the Pole this Friday  - doors open 7.30pm for the performance starting at 8pm.

Get a Grip.
In this controversial performance,  Tom Marshman confronts taboos of  mental disorders
and  religion.  Clinging to a dancing pole,  a sentimental character exposes  itself to you,
with layers of issues, a  crude honesty, and a wincing  humour.  The pole becomes a
crucifix: a site for Tom to expose  and execute his anxieties.

Justin Carter: Thinking Hand Scratching Head, 30 July
