We are so delighted to once again be working with WAY Widowed And Young, at tonight's performance of DANNY ECHO. The play follows the journey of a young woman's grief and it has been wonderful to learn about the support offered by WAY. Tonight there is a post-show discussion with Colette Scarborough from the charity and our director Prue. Please join us.

This Saturday 11am-1pm we are hosting a free Death Cafe event at the Lawrence Batley Theatre.

Death cafes are a chance for people to come together, drink tea and eat cake, and talk about death. In that spirit we have been baking all morning to bring some delicious cakes/cookies/brownies tomorrow to share with our community.

We are joined by Matt Bellwood from The Grief Series and their artwork The Crossing. Hope you can join us. It is totally free to attend, and you can stay as long as you like.

“Why can’t you make them for happy people? Can’t happy people use robot husbands?”

DANNY ECHO follows young widow Rae who is stuck in her flat with a robot that looks just like her husband. Stuck in a loop, repeating the same day, is it too late to change?
