SUMMARY:Blaze FM - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:Yo! Listen. Right now it’s Blaze FM. 101.7. You’re locked into the sounds of SHUT DOWN CREW. I need 20 missed calls if you wanna hear this one again. Press play on that. \nThe Big House made their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with Blaze FM in 2025\, an explosive piece of political theatre weaving Grime\, Garage\, Drill and Jungle tracks through an electrifying eighty minutes of powerful performance. Now\, Blaze takes the fire from the studio to the road in a 2026 regional tour. \nYou’re locked into Blaze FM – the pirate radio station pioneering new music as a voice to the madness outside\, broadcasting an uncensored political perspective and birthing “the realest music from the next generation”. Blaze FM blasts from a rundown council flat in Hackney\, laying the foundations of Grime\, now one of Britain’s most celebrated subcultures of music. But in the midst of court orders\, DTI signal cuts\, and outright attacks against Black music\, the family fight for their right to exist.

SUMMARY:Up Down Big Man - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere comes a time in every young man’s life when he has to leave home. For Matty\, it’s forty! \nHe really is a big man. But with his mother gone – and his Dad moving on\, what’s next for Matty? He needs support\, but what is the best form of care for him? How can he be independent and safe? \nAnd as he leaves the sanctuary of his house for the final time\, is there space in the boxes for his most treasured possession? \nFollowing the critical success of Up Down Boy (2012) and Up Down Man (2016)\, this standalone production is the third in a trilogy of plays inspired by the life story of the gifted and charismatic performer Nathan Bessell. In Up Down Big Man Nathan returns to play Matty in a play full of wit\, anarchy and heart.
