With brand new, evocative shows just announced for Factory International’s thrilling 2024 season at Aviva Studios, we can’t think of a better time to become a Member. Experience the explosive theatre production Dark Noon following a phenomenal UK premiere at Edinburgh Fringe 2023, and the thought-provoking must-see show, The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner, by Syrian playwright Mudar Alhaggi. Plus, there are also two special performances from Mercury Prize-winning singer, songwriter and producer Sampha happening in February. And, if you’re looking for something a little different, there’s a four-day takeover of workshops, people’s assemblies, talks and performances brought to you by Hard Art (a collective that includes Brian Eno, Es Devlin and Jeremy Deller). We understand that more show announcements will be made soon too – we’ll bring you the full details once we have them.

In addition to priority booking, you’ll receive exclusive offers and discounts at Aviva Studios (great for pre-show catch-ups), preview groundbreaking digital content before anyone else, and get invitations to special events too. Members can also stay bang up-to-date with all the latest news via a Members-only e-newsletter and there will be an exclusive Members’ gift for you to pick up on your first visit.
