AIM Theatre present an exciting double bill
at Upstairs At The Gatehouse
Upstairs at the Gatehouse, 1 North Rd, Highgate Village, London N6 4BD
Wednesday 18th October – Saturday 21st October 2023
Presenting a fantastic double bill of shows, AIM Theatre are delighted to announce Just Barking and That Day as they make their exclusive debut at the Gatehouse this October. AIM
Theatre are a London and Midlands theatre company that produces ground-breaking theatre,
striving to make the arts and performance accessible to all.
Just Barking written by Joe Wiltshire Smith (Behold! The Monkey Jesus, Jack Studio Theatre;FIT – A New Musical, The Cockpit) is a one-woman black comedy that investigates the strain on
healthcare, the toxic cycle of hustle culture, the deafening toll on mental health and the
rediscovery of the self. Audiences will follow the story of Tammy, a trainee nurse who turns to a
camera one night after work to confess all of her deepest, darkest secrets in an attempt to
confront her demons. Her life is a frantic mess of drink, insomnia and patient drama, with the
usual hangover worse than death the next day, until one evening she receives some self-help
advice from the most unlikely of gurus… a Chihuahua.
That Day is written by Ben Hannigan (Next Door’s Baby, Theatre at the Tabard) follows the story
of a muddled introvert struggling to write a song, until a dream-like girl appears and strives to
help him. This gripping yet hilarious play touches on isolation, mental health, family life in
unprecedented times, and the entertaining life experiences of individual desires and passion
projects.
Writer of Just Barking, Joe Wiltshire Smith comments, I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with
the multi-talented Rebecca Gilliand on this important story about the pressure on the healthcare
system, the toxic cycle of hustle culture and how our brutal, unrealistic, Insta-veneer expectations
affect our mental health.
