POP.

A hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of family, trauma, and redemption, POP. is the extraordinary true story of Rich Hardisty’s search for the father he has never met.

In 2011, following psychiatric treatment and a mania-induced epiphany, Rich flies to New York with no money or plan.

Armed with little more than a name, Rich tries everything in the hope of finding the seemingly untraceable man and answers questions that have plagued him his whole life. Desperate, he searches everywhere, with the help of some endearing strangers along the way.

However, when Rich finally does find his father, it doesn't go as anticipated.

A nostalgic emotional rollercoaster POP will leave you believing that dreams can come true…Just sometimes not in the way we imagined.

The Tom Thumb Theatre: A New Era of Magic by the Sea

Nestled in the heart of Cliftonville, Margate, the Tom Thumb Theatre has long been a beloved artistic gem by the sea. Originally built as a Victorian coach house, it was transformed in 1984 into one of the smallest theatres in the world. 

Now under the creative direction of Allyson Morgan Jones, the Tom Thumb is entering an exciting new chapter, bringing bold, imaginative programming to this beautifully intimate space. Alongside its roots in theatre, comedy, music, cabaret, poetry, and film, the theatre is expanding its offering with immersive events, unique experiences, and bespoke private hires, all while continuing to champion emerging voices and experimental work.

Venue

Tom Thumb Theatre, 2A Eastern Esplanade, CT9 2LB Margate
