Offkey World present
A Mind Full (work in progress)
written & performed by Steve Whiteley
This is the story of one man’s healing journey, from chasing laughs and dopamine hits to moving into a Buddhist community and trying (badly) to meditate. A Mind Full explores what happens when a wide boy with impulse issues goes full mindfulness. Along the way: spiritual bypassing, compulsive behaviour and the ongoing tension between craving peace and needing the spotlight. This is a raw, funny and painfully relatable look at what happens when you try to heal and yourbrain has other plans. The show builds on the world of the 2023 short film of the same name, written and directed by Steve. The film won the British Comedy Guide Pro Talent Award for Best Directing, with the BCG praising it as: ‘Witty and empathetic’.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
