... and to Beyond These Walls!

This show was made possible thanks to the Cultural Recovery Fund and the generosity of Sheffield Theatres, who have allowed us to take over their studio for the past month to stage our first indoor performance since J.M. Barrie’s Quality Street in March 2020.

During the last year, we have been keeping the company busy and engaging with our audiences online through various digital projects, including the creation of 21 short films in the first lockdown, an outdoor dance theatre piece, a short film of that dance theatre piece, and a series of Christmas podcasts! Quality Street (2020) ABOUT US

We’re a touring theatre company based in Halifax. Our celebration of the diversity of the Northern voice makes us stand apart. We adapt our work to any space on the venues we visit, both traditional theatres and non- velvet spaces. Our bold, accessible, unpretentious productions that have been playing to packed housed across the country (and internationally!) for 29 years give us a strong identity which has allowed us to form an The Aftermath (2020) unbreakable bond with our audiences.

The Northern Voice is not a singular dialect or accent. The classics don’t belong to any one region, or voice – they’re part of our common culture. Using regional voices, in all of their forms, makes our performances engaging and immediate, allowing audiences to hear and appreciate the words like never before. Our work brings words to life by celebrating the poetry of language and creates a rapport between actor and audience. The texts have a timeless resonance, no matter when or where they were first written. Digital Squad (2020) ABOUT THE PLAYS

A young man arrives from out of town to suggest an escape route... Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the Episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing.

He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for A Streetcar Named Desire and in 1955 for Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
