Good Time: Good Enough

Good Time: Good Enough

The Castle, 44 Commercial Road, Aldgate, London E1 1LN


After a wild, sold out night in December, we’re doing Good Time: Good Enough again to meet the demands of an adoring public. Some of the same japes, plus some new stuff, all (still) Good Enough!

GOOD TIME is not just a show, it’s a night out.  A place to revel in weirdness, whimsy and wildness.

Produced by a collective of performers, producers, comedians and creatives who love exciting stages and never want the night to end, we’re here to create one to remember.  A night for fun.  A night for watching brilliant people do brilliant stuff, and having a proper dance afterwards.

As the looming spectre of sequel slump watches over us, the theme of our night will be GOOD ENOUGH…

Who needs excellence when good enough will do? Join us for an evening that bravely refuses to aim too high. These are stories of people striving (half-heartedly), settling (enthusiastically), and learning to embrace mediocrity in all its glory.

What does it mean to be good enough and do you really care? This is theatre for anyone who’s ever thought, meh, close enough.

Kill Local

KDC Theatre presents “Kill Local” by Mat Smart
Directed by Saskia van ‘t Hoff

2 – 6 December 2025
Barons Court Theatre

About

Sheila and Abigail work for their mother’s small family business. Sheila’s job used to be a source of joy and exhilaration and fulfilment for her, but a chance encounter with an old classmate has her questioning everything. But when you’re an assassin for hire, being distracted by an existential crisis means getting sloppy, and getting sloppy means getting killed.

Kill Local is a pitch-black comedy about blood ties, revenge, and trying to get unstuck – especially when your life is dedicated to ending others’. Think Tarantino meets Lost in Translation.

About

Nine parallel lives – interlocked by 4 infidelities, 1 missing person and a mysterious stiletto – are woven through a fragmented series of confessionals and interrogations that gradually reveal a darker side of human nature.

Blends sharp psychological insight with a bold, theatrical structure. At its heart, it’s about connection—missed, broken, rediscovered—and how our lives overlap in ways we don’t always see.

Jane: Lucy Harper
Neil: Luke Brown
Sarah: Sophie Vroom
Nick: Gabriel Romero Day
