A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny


Hunter King

‘Once upon a time, a milkmaid wished upon a star…’ Join trans artist Hunter King on his journey of gender self-discovery. This brand new uplifting queer parody musical, Maid in the Wild, Wild, North West is based on a true story. It explores themes of belonging, self-discovery and joy through storytelling and music. Expect Disney songs as you’ve never heard them before, bad puns, terrible tropes, a damsel in distress, an animal sidekick, villains galore and a hero! Feel the Pride, live the magic, and cheer as the story unfolds... ‘Pure camp, country, comedy’ (Audience review).

    Ha

    I am the voice of the dead, cast upon the dry shores by the sea. The voice of the dead is the ever-present voice that collects and remembers the stories and conditions of life of the unjustly killed and innocent victims of humanity. At a time of humanity’s greatest development, we have commited the most dire crimes of war and live in moral paradox. Ha highlights the ambivalence of attitude, the ignorance of guilt, and the pleasure of comfort. An uninterrupted performance built on the performer’s voice and depth of breath.Written by | Mariam MegvinytePerformed by | Anano MakharadzeDirected by | Sandro Kalandadze Set Design by | Tamri OkhikianiSound Design by | Ani Zakareishvilifacebook.com/harakicompany

    Rugburn

    Celebrity designer Mat Sanders’ fabulously designed existence implodes spectacularly when sudden betrayal triggers a hysterical, one-man meltdown. Rugburn explores what happens when you’ve built a glittering life on a foundation of unresolved shame and perfectly upholstered defences begin splitting at the seams. Hollywood gossip, popper-fuelled confessions and impeccably appointed interiors collide in this fast-paced, filthy, deliciously deranged neo-vaudevillian spectacle. From the highs of styling A-listers and hosting makeover TV to the lows of underground sleaze and spectacular self-destruction, watch Sanders shape-shift through the dazzling wreckage of his life as style spirals into chaos. Brace yourself for Rugburn.Created and performed by Mat SandersDirected by Telly KousakisChoreographed by Nicholas Lanziseratiktok.com/@thematfinishInstagram.com/thematfinish

    A Brief History of Neurodivergence

    ‘Christmas Morning 2018, and I’m hiding in a graveyard from my family…’ Part disability history lecture, part autobiography, part agility course, part rant, part quiz and a whole lot of laughter. A Brief History of Neurodivergence will bust the current misunderstandings around neurodivergence – all whilst bouncing on a trampoline, skipping the alphabet, smashing the star jump challenge and occasionally pausing for breath. Join theatre-maker Fiona Moon in an embodied exploration of neurodivergence, and glimpse the chaos of a hundred-mile-an-hour mind.‘A bold, striking voice reminiscent of an early Polly Stenham’ (The Bush Theatre)Created and Performed by | Fiona MoonDirected by | Jen McGregorSound and Lighting Design by | Jon Rosswww.fionamoon.co.uk facebook.com/fiona.moon.1044/instagram.com/fionamooncreative
