Following their hugely popular Made in LDN series earlier this year at The Cockpit, Interval Productions bring Made in LDN Bridge to London's hottest new theatre, The Bunker. Made in LDN Bridge is a scratch night for artists and a hub for creative minds to connect, share work, hang out and collaborate.

Each evening will feature segments of up-and-coming artists' work as well as shorter offerings from talented musicians, singers, dancers and writers. At the end of each night there will be an 'open mic' where anyone is welcome to sign up to try things out in a relaxed setting, while drinks are flowing at the bar.

'Josh and Joel are keen for the Bunker to become a hub for young artists to create new work. They're passionate about providing a platform for homegrown talent, and that's what Interval Productions is all about, so to be able to design this arms open approach to new work, and create a safe haven for artists to try things out seemed like the perfect marriage. It's a brilliant way for Interval Productions and The Bunker to meet artists and to forge new collaborations and friendships.' says Interval Productions and Made In LDN founder Tori Allen-Martin.

Tori, an OFFIE nominated playwright and performer whose credits include featured vocalist on Idris Elba's mi Mandela album, backing vocalist for Eliza and the Bear and the European Tour of Hair, will be collaborating with actor/director/musician Stephen Lloyd to collate the project. Stephen is the founder and artistic director of Amplified Theatre, a new company that focuses on the fusion of Live Theatre and alternative music genres. Stephen wrote, directed and composed the music for the company's debut production Unsigned.
