A Bit About The Play

The Elephant in the Room is a community play set in the fictional village of Bramley. It features an antiques shop, a rare golden elephant, and a menacing lady in red. Full of colourful characters and brought to life by an all-female cast, this new comedy will be performed as a rehearsed play reading. The play resonates with the theme of nostalgia and gently evokes memories of the past through its lighthearted humour and the evocative environment in which it is set. A short Q&A session will follow the performance.

1 Hour Interactive Drama Workshop

This drama workshop that will examine the role of memory and storytelling in our lives and their impact on human experience. Additionally, we will engage participants in exploring how resonant experiences can inform and enhance our understanding of both us and our communities.

All tickets are free of charge
