Shed

5th March 2026

Tom Thumb Theatre

A multi-media theatre piece commissioned by Théâtre Volière at Margate's Tom Thumb Theatre

7.30pm - 8.20pm

Written by Martin Figura, Shed is set on the Suffolk Coast, facing mainland Europe at our most eastern point, beyond which lay terror, but also hopes for future adventure and a better World.

Jack was born at the exact moment Bolton Wanderer’s first goal hit the West Ham net in the very first Wembley Cup Final. He loves buses, the sea, hoarding and telling small lies. In the final hour of his life, the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur. He offers up the small downfall of his life; recounts the loss of his father and his bold young evacuee French wife in World War Two.

After her death, Jack retreated into a private constructed world in a shepherd’s hut on the Suffolk coastal marsh. He’s watched over by crows, has the companionship of a mollycoddled butterfly and a spider he doesn’t quite trust. He finds solace in obsessive ritual and hoarding of totems and keepsakes drawn from a sometimes imagined life.

Shed’s subject matter and use of artefacts provide an opportunity for creative workshops drawing on personal memory, history, and place.
