The Lawrence Batley Theatre is proud to announce A FESTIVAL Monday 19 - Saturday 31 March   We are having a festival. It’s about who we are and things that matter right now. It’s about new ideas, hearing different voices and celebrating talent. A FESTIVAL is a snapshot of the amazing creativity in our area, a chance to see what’s being made, join in with open workshops and for artists to congregate and collaborate. We're so excited to present such a vibrant and diverse theatre festival in Huddersfield and we hope you enjoy it.     We kick off the festival on Monday 19 March with our cosy spoken word and open mic night Queenie's Coffee House Night, followed by A Scratch Night on Tuesday 20 March where you can enjoy pie and peas and see extracts from artists' upcoming work. Over the Easter weekend we have six exciting performances for you to enjoy. On Friday 30 March we have Sameena Hussain's Baabul, an autobiographical story detailing her relationship with her father; Oil and Water – a production about women, mental illness and religion and This Is Not A Safe Space by acclaimed poet Jackie Hagan which features a collection of stories from the real voices of disabled working class people she knows. On Saturday 31 March HIV+ queer artist Nathaniel Hall presents the darkly humorous one-man show How To Build A Cesspit about a life interrupted by fear, stigma and hatred; Sonya Moorhead performs with live music from The Greyhounds as she tells the intimate story of her adventure to be wild in Feral. The festival closes with Testosterone, an irreverent comedy by trans man Kit Redstone and Rhum & Clay featuring physical theatre, a drag diva and hit songs. Alongside the live programme we also invite you to join us for series of workshops and events all hosted by artists. These include Performance Skills for Poets, One Thousand Mindreaders, Voice for Stage, and An Introduction to Biomechanics.   Tickets for all performances and workshops go on sale on Friday 23 February at 10am.     View full line up           Copyright © 2018 Lawrence Batley Theatre, All rights reserved.               Our mailing address is: Lawrence Batley Theatre Queen Street Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD1 2SP United Kingdom
