With the last episode of the series, it’s time to get Christmassy! We head down to the Hackney Empire to hear about their Christmas pantomime, ‘Mother Goose’, and we take a look into the creation of Immediate Theatres most recent touring production ‘Pressure drop’. Feature maker Vicki goes to visit Shoreditch Trust and Lime Tree Court to explore the reminiscence workshops that have been taking place to help young stroke survivors. And last but not least, you’ll get to hear Theatre Exchange’s Christmas production ‘Beauty and the Beastlies’

Short: We Care Foodbank
Yohan L takes us out of Hackney and down to Kath’s Place in Deptford, where We Care Foodbank have been having trouble with social media trolls. This attack, along with the wave of gentrification and the cost of living crisis are taking their toll. We hear from the volunteers who are helping to support and feed the local community.
