"SHED STORIES"
Bandsaws, banter and bourbon biscuits....
Uniquely blending theatre, movement and documentary, SHED STORIES is a heartwarming performance that brings to life the world of Mens Sheds; community groups where people can come together to make, repair and repurpose as well as improve their wellbeing and mental health. Combining real-life interviews with compelling movement, it shines a light on the characterful communities around this growing phenomenon - with over 1200 sheds across the UK and counting!Funny, thought-provoking and uplifting, this charming production was created through personal interviews with the people who attend and organise these community spaces across the country. Intimately staged with audiences surrounding the performance, SHED STORIES combines powerful tales and captivating movement to tell the stories of people involved in and affected by Men's Sheds. SHED STORIES shines a light on community, connection and the little things that keep us going - friendship, laughter and a nice cup of tea. SHED STORIES is commissioned by Lincoln Arts Centre & Applause Rural Touring, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with additional support from: UK Mens Sheds Association, Harrogate Theatre, Transported, Peterborough Presents, Metal Peterborough and Metal Southend.Created by Casson and friends."A joy to watch! The storytelling, the humour, the thoughtful moments, the movement, -- all created an enjoyable evening-- I absolutely loved it!"Check out an interview with the creators on UK Mens Sheds' website.
