🎭 The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton
Thursday 27 November 2025
Time: 19:30 - 20:30
🎭 “If this town gave out a collective breath of exhaustion, buildings would shake across the whole of England.”
▪️AGE: 12+ (Triggers: Adult Language and references to violence)
ℹ️ DETAILS
Two best mates. One HUGE party. Luton pinned by austerity. An evening of noughties bangers and shots of shitty gin mixed with the chaos of violence. A night to remember!
Following a sold out Edinburgh Fringe run, Chalk Line, presents The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return.
Set over one chaotic night, the play follows two best friends as they chase the highs of youth against a backdrop of systemic neglect. Painting a tapestry of violence and joy, it is a raw, real-time collision of friendship and survival. Told with biting wit and lyrical intensity, this production is a powerful exploration of class and identity, with a cracking house party that pulses round the corner.
Winner – Best New Writing – Fest & Skinny Magazine 2024
★★★★ “Brims with boisterousness” The Guardian
★★★★ “Exhilarating” WhatsOnStage
★★★★ “Anti-lyrical Under Milkwood” The Stage

📖 HISTORY OF THE FRENCH HORN
The French Horn in Steppingley is a historic village pub with deep roots in Bedfordshire’s countryside charm. Though its exact origins are unclear, it is recognized as a building of some antiquity, having been refaced with a modern front.Adjacent to the pub is a large old thatched barn, traditionally believed to be the former tithe barn, adding to the establishment's historical significance.
Local lore suggests that the pub may have been named in honor of John Schorne, a 13th-century rector of Steppingley renowned for his healing abilities and credited with imprisoning the devil in a boot—a tale that inspired the Jack-in-the-Box toy.
In more recent history, The French Horn gained attention when celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli launched it as his second gastropub in 2008, offering both formal dining and a casual bar area.
Today, The French Horn continues to serve as a welcoming spot for both locals and visitors, blending its rich history with the comforts of a traditional English pub.
