This Thursday...
Northern Rascals present SHED, a dance-theatre show that uses visual art, spoken word and contemporary dance to raise awareness of the mental health issues many young people face.
Performed by a cast of four skilled dancers in a wooden shed, the show invites its audience to be on the outside and look in. Together, witness real-life experiences told in a series of three shorts, each giving a different insight into the stories that make us.
SHED is engaging, ultimately uplifting, and beautifully written. The show is a choreographed portrait of confused emotions, love and loss, and the essential humanity that resides in us all.

Unicorns
Tonight at 8pm sharp! Doors open 7pm
Subtitled matinee screening Wednesday at 2pm.
A powerful story of forbidden love and colliding cultures unfolds when hard-working single father Luke meets beautiful, seductive drag queen Aysha.
Unable to deny the spark between them the pair are forced down the unexpected path of transformation, where they must confront their individual truths and decide if their love can exist beyond traditional labels. Co-directed by Sally El Hosaini and filmmaker-actor James Krishna Floyd, the film alternates between the thrill of raw desire, the gravity of familial responsibility, and the transformative power of being seen for who you really are. Ben Hardy and newcomer Jason Patel shine in this summer’s must-see romance.
Starring: Ben Hardy, Jason Patel, Hannah Onslow
Directed: Sally El Hosaini (The Swimmers) & James Krishna Floyd (The Swimmers)
Written: James Krishna Floyd
Duration 120mins

Take a moment to absorb some of this audience feedback...
“I love that everything had purpose. Each individual had purpose, and the relationships were personal and felt natural. As a viewer, to be transported with the space and props, was incredible. The touch and the movement itself was so well done. It’s a beautiful balance.”
“It really puts the mundaneness of everyday life on show, and if it’s something worthwhile watching and celebrating. You really celebrate those everyday moments, even though they’re not special, but are just things that we go through every single day, and are something we can all recognise. It’s really quite touching, but also you can also see it in a voyeuristic context - should I be looking at this intimate moment, and entering into that tension.”
“I felt like I was in several different worlds. The framing of everything was really
interesting.”
...you know what to do- get yourself along to the Kirkgate Centre on Thursday 10th, or risk some serious FOMO! https://thekirkgate.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873665249
