In my recent perusing of the Lambeth Fringe programme I came across an intriguing show that really made me want to find out more about it. Presented by Aether Scriptorium, 'Am I Back' is by Alan Ho, who multitasks as director and performer alongside his role as writer. The show explores the themes of blindness - physiological and metaphysical - misunderstanding and pursuit of the truth, and is about what happens to a man when he regains his sight.

As you may be aware, Lambeth Fringe is currently up and running, and there's a huge amount of brilliant creative stuff to take in. One of the shows that we're excited about is 'Saving Myself', a one woman show, written by Tim Stubbs Hughes, directed by Julia Stubbs and starring Jessamy James. It's a play that's already graced the Brighton and Camden Fringes, and with any luck, it will be appearing at another big festival before too long.

I first heard about the play 'Down To Chance' when it was on at the Edinburgh Fringe back in 2025 and decided it sounded rather intriguing, including it in our Three To See recommendations for that year's Festival. So it's good to know that - not only did the play have a successful run in 2025 - it returned to the Fringe in 2026 and is now doing a tour of the south east, calling at several venues not far from our London-based readers.
