Shunt

Our details aren’t on the website but don’t be fooled, we are performing!

Wed 4th and Thurs 5th at 9pm (ish)

Its £5 to get in on the door. There’s the Paper cinema on before us who do beautiful animations with beautiful music and there’ll be a man in a boat talking about neutrinos with real Sonic Booms and Little Bulb wearing red tights. We’re building a special ramp for maximum speed. Should be a great night.

Important: You need photo ID to get in!

All the film we’ve got back is in the process of being developed and uploaded onto a digital archive which you will soon be able to see online. If you’d like to be informed when this happens then get in touch (info@actionhero.org.uk) or just keep an eye on the news page and we’ll post a link here when its set up.

Cheers.
