366 Days of Kindness

On 18 August 2011, in response to the riots and after a chance encounter in a Deptford post office, Bernadette Russell embarked on a mission to be kind to a stranger every day for a year. This show, part stand up, part storytelling, charts this amazing year, which began with burning buildings, and ended with the flame of the Olympic torch.

Featuring a dinner party with the Dalai Lama, Barack Obama and Princess Di, it attempts to answer the question: 'is it possible to change the world just by being kind?' You might laugh. You may cry. You could win one million pounds (really).

We’re delighted to be bringing our show home to Deptford, after a sell out national and U.S tour.

366 Days Of Kindness was created with support from Birmingham Rep and Jacksons Lane. With special thanks to Billy Bragg, Radio 4, Time Out, The Basement and many of the residents of Deptford and elsewhere, all of whom helped to make this show possible.

This performance is accompanied by an exhibition of words and photographs from Russell's year of kindnesses. It will be on at Deptford Lounge on Friday 3 July - Thursday 27 August. For more information, click here.

The performance will be followed by a post-show discussion with White Rabbit and Dan Thompson, director of Revolutionary Arts and instigator of #riotcleanup.
