Update - win tickets to a performance of Hush by tweeting this article, with the hashtag #ShedPopup - closing date is 31st July

"To celebrate this brand new pop up venue we are giving you the chance to win tickets to the latest show at The Shed – The Hush.

Matthew Herbert – composer, DJ and electronic music pioneer – creates a unique aural adventure investigating the emotions and politics of sound with wit and theatrical imagination. Part-gig, part-play, part-installation: actors, sound designers and theatre-makers collaborate on this very special performance."

"The Shed is a temporary venue in front of the National Theatre from April 2013 – February 2014. Celebrating new theatre that is original, ambitious and unexpected, it will present work by theatre-makers familiar to the NT as well as emerging voices; and provides a third stage during the Cottesloe Theatre's closure for the NT Future redevelopment.
Artists working in The Shed will include Carrie Cracknell, Rob Drummond, Marianne Elliott, Nadia Fall, Polly Findlay, Matthew Herbert, Rufus Norris, Nick Payne, Tim Price, Tanya Ronder, The TEAM and debbie tucker green. A Visitors’ Festival in September will celebrate the breadth of talent outside London. Designed by Haworth Tompkins, The Shed will have 225 seats at £12 and £20
