UPSTAIS: FACESOUL
2025-11-28 19:00 - 23:00
Using art as a vehicle for healing, Facesoul’s message is one with intent.
Faisal Salah, known by his stage name ‘Facesoul’ is a London-based artist born in East Africa. At 19 he began travelling the world, performing for different communities and sharing his story through his voice. These travels proved to be a formative step for his development as an artist, in which he discovered that these people, even with their apparent differences in race, language and environment, shared the same common internal emotions and feelings. And in that they were not separate.
Faisal’s upbringing with traditional Islamic roots have been paramount to forming his truth and identity and his sense of spirituality is imbued in his practice. When he started performing at 15, he would combine his love of singing, poetry and storytelling as a tool to escape from the constraints of inner city living, and aspire for something better.
The creative force behind YSRA has come from a period of personal grief and solitude after the passing of a dear friend in an accident during the recording period.
It transformed the project into a creative documentation of his emotional reconnection himself and the journey home after losing a loved one.
It celebrates and honours vulnerability, exploring themes of grief, sorrow, joy, love, family and the human experience.
Tickets available now.

THE AGORA III - TIRED HORSES THEATRE
2025-12-02 19:30 - 23:00
A political theatre scratch night!
Welcome to The Agora—a new stage for a new era of theatre.
In ancient Athens, the Agora meant the marketplace, but is was so much more; it was the vibrant heart of the city, where the community gathered to ignite ideas and debate the very future of democracy. It was the birthplace of bold conversation and courageous thought.
We’re bringing that same fiery spirit to our stage. The Agora is a political scratch night—a powerful new platform for fearless new ideas. We’re channeling the ancient Greeks, using theatre as a vehicle for essential discussion, social justice, and artistic revolution.
This is an evening of short plays, extracts, and concept pieces, each a spotlight on an urgent social issue. These are the voices of emerging creatives who have something vital to say. They are here to challenge, to provoke, and to inspire.
