Well, there's all sorts! if you want to be inspired by strong female voices, join us for noisy Russian fairytale-punk crossover, The Frog Princess Punked. We’ll also explore female roles from classical mythology, and what their stories tell us about the ongoing liberation of women in Myth Independent. If you’re up for something a little racier, join us for JOY, a sea of thoughts on sexuality and self-worth.[[{"fid":"5811","view_mode":"small","fields":{"format":"small","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Joy","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"left","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"small","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Joy","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"left","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"link_text":null,"attributes":{"height":"978","width":"660","class":"media-element file-small"}}]]If you fancy something surreal, you might enjoy Lucid, a production combining text, physical theatre, acrobatics and lighting to explore the territory between waking and dreaming states.

If you enjoyed that, perhaps you’ll consider what it might be like not to have a head at all? On Having No Head (a dramatization of one of David Bowie’s favourite books by D.E. Harding) will explore just that conundrum, combining ideas on psychology, philosophy and Zen Buddhism, with a good dose of comedy to boot.To book tickets to these and other events at the Bloomsbury Theatre performances visit their bookings page.To find out more about the whole festival visit the Bloomsbury Festival website.We hope to see you there!
