Slung Low - Love Letters at Home by Uninvited Guests and Fuel

With details of upcoming events:

Image: Jonathan Bewley Uninvited Guests and Fuel Theatre present   LOVE LETTERS AT HOME Live on Zoom from The Holbeck  Friday 22nd May at 7pm    ‘Let’s raise our glasses to long lost loves and current lovers, to mums, to dads and to absent friends.’   Love Letters at Home is a joyful, open-hearted show that will help people feel connected at a time when many are isolated and missing their loved ones.  First performed by Uninvited Guests in 2007, the original show was a critical hit and played to audiences at over 30 venues including Southbank Centre, RSC Stratford, Fierce Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. Directed by Paul Clarke and devised by performers Jess Hoffmann and Richard Dufty, Love Letters at Home is somewhere between a wedding reception and a radio dedication show. Before the performance, audience members are invited to send in music requests, dedications and declarations of love to those they care about past and present.  These words are incorporated into each performance; dedications are spoken, toasts are made, speeches are given, songs are sung and dances danced. Every performance of Love Letters at Home is unique and collaboratively authored with its audience, who temporarily become a close community for the duration of the event. Love Letters at Home has been commissioned by First Art, a Creative People and Places project, as part of its Go the Distance remote festival.

THE GOOD BOOK is available to view now  In a future Leeds, society is divided between loyalists of the powerful Queen Bear and radical followers of Galahad. A young woman wishes not to choose a side in the war that wages among them, but she must undertake a dangerous mission to rescue a precious relic from destruction. Watch here About The Good Book The film is Leeds People’s Theatre's first production, produced by Slung Low. Filming of The Good Book took place in early 2020 across some of the most iconic locations in Leeds including Slung Low’s base The Holbeck (the oldest working men’s club in Britain), Holbeck Cemetery, Leeds Central Library and Leeds Town Hall.  It is directed by Sheffield’s Brett Chapman and written by James Phillips. The Good Book continues with Phillips’ themes of future dystopia, begun in The White Whale at Leeds Dock in 2013, continued in 2014 with Camelot, the Shining City and last explored as a centre piece of Hull UK City of Culture 2017’s performance programme and on the BBC with the epic 4-part Flood. The Good Book stars Riana Duce, Katie Eldred and Angus Imrie along with over 100 citizens of Leeds with a crew brought together from across the North of England and beyond.   Contains extreme language.
