Modern Life
is Rubbish
Bloody hell, life is difficult sometimes. There are so many things to get stressed about -
anxiety is through the roof and everyone is getting more and more frustrated and grumpy!
Modern Life is Rubbish is The Spring’s attempt to recognise the stresses and strains of
modern life through theatre, an outdoor spectacular and comedy. You could stay at
home and bang your head against the wall or you could get out to think about and
hopefully laugh at the ridiculousness of it all!
This evening’s event includes three performances.
TENSILE STRENGTH
(OR HOW TO SURVIVE
AT YOUR WIT’S END)
7pm – 8pm in the theatre
We’ve all been there: struggling with work,
with relationships, feeling like things are
all A Bit Too Much…and then the cat goes
missing.
Tensile Strength is a theatre performance
about the society in which we live. It
questions the causes of stress and how
we as individuals can deal with it before
it turns into something more sinister.
Begin your evening with theatre maker
Holly Gallagher who has some urgent
questions for a society which just can’t
seem to relax.

THAT PARKING SHOW
8.15pm – 8.45pm at the top of the car park
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and
people getting angry about parking spaces. But what
really fuels the road rage?
Come and witness a hilarious, acrobatic show in our
car park where a parking row escalates to full-blown
war as two cars vie for one parking spot. As the cars
collide so do the occupants, their musical choices
and the contents of the boot. Bonnets pop, roofs
peel open and everything (and everyone!) starts to
unhinge. Expect a host of surprises as the cars and
their drivers start to unleash some anger!
At a time when divisions in society cleave us apart,
this outdoor performance will bring people together
to laugh at ourselves, to explore the ways that
conflicts escalate disproportionately and to reflect
on how we let fury over small things blind us to
larger realities.
ARTHUR SMITH
9-15pm - 10.45pm in the theatre
Arthur Smith headlines Modern Life is Rubbish with a stand up gig of
sublime silliness, short stories, jokes, anecdotes, poems and songs.

WALK OF SHAME II
Followed by a post show chat
A coming of age show. Two decades too late.
Ferocious clubber Eleanor Conway has always been
a woman of extremes; she partied around the world
as a music journo, made porn and Tinder’d her way
through most of London…Now sober from booze
and substances she’s struggling to find moderation
and meaning.
What happens when you wake up after your last
blackout and realise the party is over? Conway’s
superpower used to be ‘The Blackout’, a power
so strong it meant that she could fast forward to
the future. She’s now ‘clean’ but really she’s still
as filthy as ever; still only owns one bra, still dating
men way too young for her and still banned from
Tinder.
Join us for the sequel to Walk of Shame, which
was a sell out at The Spring in 2018, and find out
what happens when you stop chasing the ‘perfect’
version of you and realise she’s been there all
along.

The Life and Times of John Le Mesurier
Dad’s Army turned actor John Le Mesurier into a household

His broken marriage to Hattie Jacques and the betrayal by best
friend Tony Hancock were setbacks that shook him, but his
reputation never wavered.
Leading impressionist Julian Dutton presents this show that is
packed with glorious reminiscences and stories from the golden
age of British comedy.

THE MIKADO

the threat of execution for flirting overshadowing all
involved. A complex satire characterised by clever
wordplay, memorable tunes, colourful costumes
and endearing characters has resulted in a show
that has been popular with audiences for well over
a century.
