It's been three years
in the making, but Kirkstall Brewery has finally opened its incredible

Cheers to that!

Heaven's Gate
by Cosmic
Collective Theatre
Sunday 16th
February at 5pm
Four
cups of Apple Sauce.
Four canvas camp beds
One Comet.
Heaven’s Gate is closing and the Away Team are ready for
Graduation! But whatever you do, don't say the C-word. (Cult).
Heaven's
Gate, imagines the final hour of four members of the real life
UFO-theistic group. As they prepare for their ‘Graduation’ to
the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ initially the excitement is palpable,
but soon the cracks start to appear. Is Heavenly Father really
waiting for them on a Spaceship? Is the Earth actually about to
be recycled? Was castration mandatory or not? Is Turkey Potpie
an underwhelming last supper?
Fresh
from sell out runs at the Great Yorkshire Fringe and the
Drayton Arms Theatre London, Cosmic Collective Theatre invite
you to join their Cult and ascend to the next level.
Presented By Cosmic Collective Theatre
New kids on the block-brilliantly scripted, slick
direction and very funny delivery. If you like your comedy
dipping into the darkside, these bunch are for you.
