A huge thank you to the twenty four cast members, creative team and theatre staff involved in brining the stage@leeds young company's performance of Romeo & Juliet (Sat 08 Aug) to life over the last two weeks. Over 130 audience members showed their enthusiastic appreciation for the young cast's retelling of one of the worlds most famous tragic love stories.

I was once again honoured and humbled to work with such amazing people.

You guys are the best!

⭐️🎭 This week our talented Level 1 Theatre and Performance students have two shows that have been crafted and inspired by the works of Jeanette Winterson.

‘Here’s The Story’ will show at Stage One between the 21st and 22nd of May (12:00pm, 3:00pm [21st], 12:00pm [22nd]). This playful new performance, inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s The PowerBook, invites audiences into the act of storytelling to ask how we love, how we connect and how we author our own stories.

‘Why Be Happy?’ will be showing in Alec Clegg Studio also between the 21st and 22nd of May (2:00pm, 4:00pm [21st], 2:00pm, [22nd]). Featuring the work of 18 students, this devised ensemble piece explores how women love, lose, and write themselves into being.
