Kill Local by Mat Smart
2 - 6 December 2025, 7.30 pm
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.
Director: Saskia van 't Hoff
Assistant Director: Azul Alysum

We're delighted that Mitch has declared this show 'the best-reviewed show I've done'. Here's why:
'He brings an effortless humour, of course, and it can be argued that the peak of his performance is in his expert asides to the audience. Speaking directly to them, he connects with his audience beautifully as delightful pockets of laughter can be heard from the crowd; joyful, charmed, chuckled, squeaked, burst in powerful unison.'
'What a truly fantastic way to end the year, courtesy of Mitch Benn and Barons Court. With a tremendous storyteller and charismatic performer, this intimate production of Dickens’ work is truly exhilarating.'
'There was some strange, yet comforting vibe stemming from what was rising before the viewers’ now beguiled eyes – as if they had been congregated, summoned perhaps, into a secret gathering where the most charming of secrets was to be shared.'
'THE PERFECT PERFORMANCE FOR GETTING INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT'
