LOVE & FORGETTING - Tales from a Young Mixer, devised and performed by Jeremy James & Jack Martin, is an exhilarating homage to the art of mixology and the mystique of hotel bars. Drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of cinematic masterpieces like 'All About Eve,' 'Casablanca,' and 'Lost in Translation,' as well as literary giants such as Beckett, Chekhov, and Fitzgerald, the production transcends boundaries to explore the profound interplay between memory, truth, and our need to believe in something.

In a captivating blend of performance and reflection, LOVE & FORGETTING invites audiences to journey through the evocative landscapes of classic cinema and iconic literature. From the glamorous allure of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' to the existential depths of Camus, each narrative thread is skillfully interwoven with the ambiance of the hotel bar and the poignant anecdotes of bartenders past and present.

'A magical moment of performance.'
