Embark on a journey from Jamaica to Britain, through the Second World War to 1948 – the year the HMT Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury, England.  The play follows three intricately connected stories. Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Queenie longs to escape her Lincolnshire roots.

National Theatre Live: Small Island

HOLE_AID presents Up the Catalogue, an ambitiously small film set in a fictional shopping channel by the name of 4QTV. Tasked with flogging a seemingly endless cycle of questionable products, star presenter, Hailey Cartin, is starting to fear she might be trapped in live television.  When a rival product demonstrator eventually forces Hailey to confront her own quest-defying reality, will she ever be able to climb out of the hole she’s now in? Maybe. But maybe not. (And certainly not without the generous help of the film’s sponsors, HOLE_AID.)  A story for the ages, Up the Catalogue boldly takes the shopping channel film genre away from cult classic territory and straight into the mainstream.
