How far are you willing to go to say you're sorry? Well that is the question asked by Stasis, a new play that is premiering at The White Bear, Kennington right now.

Molly Wobbly 5 star show with a 6 star cast at Leicester Square Theatre
Imagine, if you can that Tim Burton got hold of The Little Shop of Horrors, a few Carry On movies and The Rocky Horror Show and took all the best bits of them then you have some idea of what you get with Molly Wobbly (Originally called Molly Wobbly’s Tit Factory).
