The Wrong Channel…?! Broadcasts One and Two

If you’re browsing the Brighton Fringe programme for May, you might have spotted The Wrong Channel…?! Broadcasts One and Two scheduled for the 19th. It’s being held at The Rose Hill on Rose Hill Terrace, starting at 8:00 PM. The show is put together by Wrong Numba and is described as a multi-sensory experience that lasts about ninety minutes. Rather than a traditional play, it’s an exploration of current affairs through an existential lens. The goal seems to be providing a safe, informed space for anyone feeling a bit disconnected or "lost in space" when trying to process what’s happening in the world today.

The logistics are pretty straightforward for a local event. It’s strictly for those aged 16 and over, and the pricing follows a "pay as you feel" model, with a suggested contribution starting at £5. There’s also an interesting detail for those who decide to engage with the full series: if you attend both Broadcasts One and Two, you can get a "golden ticket" to join something called THE WRöNG PLANET. It’s a way of connecting the different parts of the performance for those who want to see the whole narrative arc.

Being at The Rose Hill, the setting will likely be quite personal, which suits the "safe space" theme they are going for. The performance aims to be a multi-sensory experience, focusing on how we handle the news and our place in the world without the usual stress of a standard news broadcast. It’s a chance to look at the big picture of current events in a setting that’s designed to be thoughtful rather than overwhelming. If you’re around Brighton that Tuesday evening, it’s a different way to spend an hour and a half, looking at the existential side of the daily grind in a venue that’s well-integrated into our local cultural scene.
