Toby Thompson: No Time Like The Present 

Sunday 2nd October

Following a three week residency at the Ventnor Exchange Toby Thompson will be performing a first scratch performance of a new piece of work created during his time on the Isle of Wight.

‘No Time Like The Present’ is a look at the importance of living in the moment, and what it means to be in the here and now.

Toby Thompson is one of the most inspiring performers we’ve ever worked with, with a uniquely poetic craft and delivery style which is incredibly hearfelt and raw. We can’t wait to show you what he’s been working on.

“Toby Thompson is the future” Kate Tempest
