A Squash and A Squeeze

Step into the magical world of A Squash and a Squeeze live on stage for the first time!

Once upon a time, a little old lady lived all by herself in her cosy cottage, but she wasn’t happy – her house felt just too small. Whatever could she do? Will the wise old man’s solution of bringing in a flappy, scratchy, greedy, noisy crowd of farmyard animals work?

Join us for this heart-warming and hilarious adventure, full of beautiful puppets and enchanting songs. Written and illustrated by the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, and adapted for the stage by Olivier-nominated duo Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane.

The Definitions: Book Launch – Matt Greene in conversation with Jess White

The Definitions is a short, thoughtful, and ultimately terrifying novel about the vitality of language. How we use it, how we weaponise it, and what happens when we rely on other to define ourselves.

Join us at Dead Ink Books on the 15th of October to celebrate author Matt Greene and his phenomenal novel. Matt will be joined in conversation with journalist and writer Jess White.

Matt Greene is an author, teacher, former screenwriter, and stay-at-home dad. His first novel, Ostrich, won a Betty Trask Award and his memoir Jew(ish) was described by Booker-shortlisted author Nadifa Mohamed as ‘wonderful’ and ‘acerbically funny’. He teaches critical and creative writing in South London, where he lives with his partner and two sons.

Jess White is a writer and researcher who has written for Dazed, The F Word, i-D, among many others. You can keep up to date with what she’s reading on her substack.

Tickets are available HERE.
