2401 Objects is the latest Fringe First winning show by Analogue, ‘bright new things of British Theatre’ (Observer), direct from an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival.
Inspired by the world’s most important neuroscientific case-study, 2401 Objects tells the remarkable story of a man who could no longer remember, but who has proven impossible to forget.
In 1953 Henry Molaison emerges from experimental brain surgery without any recollection of the last two years of his life, or the ability to form new memories. In 2009 Patient H.M.’s brain is dissected live on the internet to a global audience of 400,000 people, cut into carefully preserved slices; manuscripts of tissue like the pages of a book.
Told in their brilliant multi-media visual style, Analogue return to the Drum following Mile End in 2008 and Beachy Head in 2011.

At 4pm every Saturday, from 1976 to 1988, tens of millions of Britons, and countless more world-wide, were in the grip of an extraordinary sports phenomenon: watching two fat men (a.k.a. Shirley Crabtree and Martin Ruane) pretend to fight each other.
This is their story.
This new play, by the award-winning writers of New Perspectives’ hit Those Magnificent Men, brings back to grunting, grappling life these two well-loved wrestling rivals and the bizarre world they bestrode.
With an “all-star cast of thousands” including Paul McCartney, Chris Tarrant, Frank Sinatra, Princess Margaret, and Greg Dyke, this ambitious, touching, hilarious two-hander conjures up a whole nation during its most colourful era.
Tickets: Standard: £8.00 Concession: £6.00 Family: £22.00

Stan's Cafe Presents: The Cardinals is the story of a show within a show. Three Cardinals are using a large puppet theatre to tell a history of the world, running seamlessly from Bible stories through The Crusades to contemporary Middle Eastern politics and, ultimately, the apocalypse.
The Cardinals’ show, though naive and unwittingly hilarious, is also wonderfully beautiful and seductive. Backstage however things are inevitably more frantic and fractious, as they are assisted by an over-worked young female Muslim Stage Manager whose script seems to vary from their own at certain crucial moments.
The Cardinals is about faith and belief. It is playful, thought provoking and thoroughly entertaining.
