Wrong ‘Un is Back!
Wrong ‘Un continues its amazing never ending tour with a couple of new bookings in the diary at The Square Chapel in Halifax on Saturday the 26th of November and at The Queen’s Hall in Hexham on Friday 9th of December. It will be part of a double bill, called Convicts and Lunatics, exploring one hundred years of wayward woman with dangerous ideas! As part of the double bill we are delighted to be showcasing a fantastic new piece from Gracefool Collective about what it means to be a woman today.

Wrong ‘Un
Set in February 1918, after several decades of protest and four years of bloody war, Parliament is poised to grant what the suffragettes have demanded and fought for – votes for all women. Join the brilliantly talented performer Ella Harris as she tells Annie Wilde’s fascinating story through acappella song, words and music.
Part of the ‘clog and shawl’ brigade, Annie is just one of the thousands of unseen working-class women who dedicated themselves to the suffrage movement. As humourous and uplifting as it is thought-provoking, ‘Wrong ‘Un’ explores class, privilege and hope in wartime England and honours the many women who dedicated themselves to transforming the political landscape for the generations who followed.
This really is too much
Outlandish, theatrical and highly entertaining, ‘This really is too much’ delves into a world of farcical stereotypes and preposterous power struggles. With irreverent physicality, four characters wrestle with restriction, gender and performance of identity, trying desperately to work out which box they fit into.
Amusing and thought provoking in equal measure, this dance theatre performance reveals the downright absurd realities of what it means to be a 3-dimensional, high definition, water-drinking, salad-eating, moisturizing WO-man in modern society.
