Wrap your eyes round these!    Hi friends! This spring we have a trio of shows we are really proud to host at both our venues.  So many of you have already come down to The Warehouse in Holbeck and it was great to welcome you all these past weeks And now we’re really excited to open our second new venue, Slung Low at Temple. It’s an outdoor stage so always come prepared for the weather, of course it’s Pay What You Decide and April will see us host our first show on it: Wrongsemble's 'The Not So Grimm Twins'. In May we’re back over at The Warehouse in Holbeck and we are beyond excited to welcome "avant-garde mess" and one of the most inventive theatre companies Ridiculusmus with 'So'.  Then in June we’re visited by our brilliant old pals Middle Child with their punk-spirited show 'Modest', celebrating the baddest babe of art. Take a closer look below and get booking your tickets fast.  Love Slung Low x   Slung Low at Temple Friday 7th April at 1:00pm Roll up one and all to hear the fabulous Grimm Brother’s fairytales like never before, as world-famous twins Jake and Will Grimm (oh, and their little sister Lottie too!) tumble from their magical wagon brimful of famous fairytales collected from every inch of the world. But sometimes even familiar stories can take a turn for the (f)unexpected, and our heroes will need all the help they can get to defeat the creatures of their own creation!       The Warehouse in Holbeck Saturday 13th May at 7:30pm Two long-lost brothers overcome their polarized perception and come together to get something done while sorting through their late mother’s estate. Business, personal matters and the right connection for some vintage technology pepper a joyfully chaotic exchange that somehow embraces everything difficult and wrong in the world and proposes workable solutions that will definitely not “blow you away” but warm the cockles of your battered heart.          The Warehouse in Holbeck Saturday 13th May at 7:30pm “Cause here she comes. She’s the baddest, bitchin’ babe of art” Music hall, theatre and drag king cabaret erupt as Modest brings you Elizabeth Thompson – megastar of the Victorian art scene. Performed by a cast of actor-musicians, this punk-spirited show will break your heart and start a revolution.          Copyright © 2023 Slung Low, All rights reserved.  Slung Low Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with the company number 07720259, registered at The Holbeck, Jenkinson Lawn, Holbeck, Leeds, LS11 9QX Our mailing address is: Slung Low The Warehouse in Holbeck Crosby Street Leeds, England LS11 9RQ United Kingdom
