The stories we tell shape our lives.

Pass The Hat unravels a family history with a busker arrested over 500 times, Soho gangsters and even the royal family.

Returning from sell-out London and international performances, this poignant work is an intimate exploration into the passion behind performance.

Performed in an intimate space overlooking Shaftesbury Avenue, in the heart of the West End, Pass the Hat is a mixture of documentary theatre, street performance and self-reflection.

All performances start at 7.30pm, running time is approximately 1 hour

Stone Nest is an arts organisation and performance venue in the heart of London's West End, bringing exceptional and experimental art to a wide audience. Whilst the 'work in progress' of building restoration continues, we are delighted to collaborate with a range of artists to bring life to this iconic former Welsh chapel. A hidden gem nestled amidst the bright lights of theatreland, it offers a platform for bold, visionary artists and a space where audiences can encounter an eclectic programme of contemporary performance.

Stone Nest is an old building and as this performance takes place on the first floor, we are currently unfortunately unable to accommodate wheelchair users.
