Written and performed by Danny Braverman. Directed by Nick Philippou. In 1926 shoemaker Ab Solomons drew on the wage packet he gave to his wife Celie. Throughout their marriage, right up until the early 80s, Ab had drawn a wage packet cartoon every week for her. These cartoons, with blistering honesty, through all their ups and downs, chronicled Solomons' family life. Danny Braverman’s solo show tells the funny and moving story of how he discovered the lost art of his great-uncle. Wot? No Fish! is an extraordinary story about love and art, history … and catering.

I would like to travel beyond time and space to look through kindness and evil, says the young Japanese writer to the Indian philosopher and magician. With his help, the Japanese writer begins travelling through different stories. At the end of this travelling, the writer, like other 20th-century thinkers, could not find solid answers but rather endless questions instead. He could not even acquire the secrets to the art of magic. But the result of this travelling is more magic, from the genius literature of Ryunoske Akutagawa.
