This is difficult and essential stuff from ETT, especially after all the guff yesterday about “sick note Culture”. We are making the most vulnerable in society the scapegoats for a rotten system. It boils my blood.

Thank you Live Theatre for programming this work

Museum of Austerity from ETT

Review to follow but my god I am in bits after The Museum of Austerity Live Theatre If you want to be driven to searing, incandescent rage over now this country treats disabled and / or vulnerable people look no further. Not easy viewing, but essential.

If you’re in the North East, come to Live Theatre to check out this XR exhibition. It’s unlike anything you’ll have experienced and it will not only blow your mind, but change how you think about austerity in Britain, what “theatre” can be and how we can use technology in arts.

Really honoured to be hosting ETT Museum Of Austerity as the first date of its 2024 tour that opened today & runs until this Sun 21 Apr. Check out this BroadwayWorld article to find out more about this award winning mixed reality installation that tells the human stories

From something old at The Old Vic to something new at Kiln Theatre
The Ballad of Hattie and James.
I liked it very much: you have to admire storytellers: weaving together the complex elements of a story, revealing secrets, shifting back and forward in time. Great cast too 👏🏻

The Museum of Austerity is with us for only five days this week. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this incredible work. ‘Unflinching’ as described by the ⁦⁦The Guardian⁩ theguardian.com/society/2023/n…

Sophie Thompson & Charles Edwards are never not sublime but the beautiful, unique, funny, delicate #TheBalladofHattieandJames Kiln Theatre allows them to be all these things in spades. And such a perfect example of theatre. This couldn’t be done so powerfully any other way.
