You're invited to the sharing of Wondrous.

You are warmly invited to the sharing of Jane Steele's work-in-progress theatre show, Wondrous.

Wondrous is a celebration of life refracted through the sometimes-hair-raising story of a mixed-race, working-class Yorkshire woman. This biographical piece intertwines comedy and tragedy, spoken word and song to portray answered questions and (un)belonging, the turning of poison into medicine, and finding jewels in life’s darkest, most unlikely corners.

Performances will take place on Friday 28th October at 19:00
and Saturday 29th October at 14:00. Tickets are £5.00 each.

There will be an optional Q&A session after the performance where the audience will be able to ask questions and share their thoughts with Jane and Theatre in the Mill's Artistic Director, Rich.

18+ only.

Content warning: contains strong language, offensive racial terminology, references to domestic violence and references to child abuse.

About the artist...
Jane Steele was born in an unmarried mother’s home in Chapeltown, Leeds, to a mother from Wakefield and a Trinidadian father. She grew up in Wakefield. She is an actress, writer, stand-up comic and facilitator.
Her poetry has been made into permanent public art in both Wakefield and Bradford.
She notes with interest that during the heart of lockdown, no-one, was shouting for quantity surveyors and lawyers as a means by which to survive it. Instead, people reached for their books, music, TV shows and films. This reinforces her belief in the power and necessity of the creative arts to connect, transform and liberate. She couples this thought with the knowledge that a sunflower seed, given half a chance, contains a sunflower. Together, these two truths give her hope.
