Dinner 18:55

A Leeds Playhouse Production

The production toured to The Belgrade in Coventry​

​

Dinner 18:55 was an ambitious devised production with an intergenerational community cast.

 

"The product of a series of workshops from the Playhouse's creative engagement programme, this one-act sitting serves up a series of vignettes exploring what it means to share a meal in 2019. Through monologue, dance, mime and music, the cast retell half-a-dozen true stories ranging from the fantastic to the tragic. The show ably brings together young people and seniors to explore their life experiences at the dinner table, using theatre as a platform to study and reflect on key moments in their lives."
