A special performance for Valentine's Day, Lights! Camera! Improvise! allows audiences to choose what the film is about, where it is set and even the name. Whilst the movie is spontaneously created before your eyes, leading man Oscar pauses, rewinds and cuts the movie enabling him to analyse and re-live the funniest moments. Brimming with action sequences and a captivating plot this play aims to be the ultimate in improvisation.
 

About Arcola Theatre

This renowned community theatre is at the heart of Hackney and Dalston's flourishing arts scene, and one of the best places in London to see new work. The Arcola Theatre building is a classic contemporary fringe venue, a converted paint manufacturing factory that offers studio spaces, a versatile auditorium and a pop up tent that hosts a variety of shows.  Founded in 2000 the theatre has firmly established itself as more than an arts centre, with a diverse range of productions which aim to be socially and politically relevant.
