This autumn, we're leaning into the power of care - through a programme of work that holds space for grief, joy, identity, and memory. We’re excited to bring the raw energy of Good Grief by Ugly Bucket to both St Helens and Knowsley, with two unmissable performances - plus workshops! The joyful bring-your-nana glamour of The Posh Club returns to St Helens - and for the first time, we’re heading to Kirkby too. We can’t wait to bring this gorgeous cabaret experience to more 60+ audiences across both boroughs. We’re proud to continue our collaboration with Fiona Whelan and Rialto Youth Project on Boys in the Making - a dynamic creative programme exploring masculinity with young people. We’re also excited to be moving towards a very special preview presentation of Sheba Chhachhi and Janet Price’s project The Beauty of Pain exploring how pain lives in our bodies, our minds, and echoes through the world around us. And there's more: fierce, funny storytelling from Irish artist and activist Dee Mulrooney in a special one-off performance from her alter-ego Growler, and a whole programme packed with work that doesn't just reflect what we carry - it has the power to transform it.
