60 Minutes of Mood Swings Alumni Performance

Thursday 28 September 7.30pm

Full £5 | Concessions £3 | Age 16+

60 minutes of Mood Swings is a part of the ShowRoom’s Alumni Performance Project. Providing
a platform for recent graduate performance. We are women. Women. Perfectly normal women.
No one listens to women who talk too much, so we sing instead – music, self-deprecating humour
and mood swings galore. Welcome to Camp TartTamer, here you will learn how to become the
better you.

Ghosts of the Near Future

Thursday 19 October 7.30pm

Full £12 | Concessions £8 | Age 16+

Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, this is a cowboy-noir fever dream about extinction
with music, storytelling, and live micro-cinema. Ghosts of the Near Future is a road trip through
a vanishing landscape, a haunting collage of miracles and misdirection. The end of the world is
a magic trick — are you watching closely? Combining visual theatre and campfire storytelling,
this is a genre-bending journey into a disappearing America. Part warning for the future, part
elegy for what we’ve yet to lose.

You Heard Me

Thursday 26 October 7.30pm

Full £12 | Conc £8 | Age 14+

An ARC Stockton Production, co-commissioned by The Albany, BAC, Cambridge Junction, Northern Stage and Theatre in the Mill.

Made by Luca Rutherford with Maria Crocker, Melanie Wilson, Tanuja Amarasuriya, Bethany Gupwell, Bethany Wells, Linzy Na Nakorn, Jenni Jackson and Stephanie McMann.

Are you listening? 

You Heard Me is for anyone who has been underestimated. 
Anyone who has been told to shut up. 
Anyone who has been afraid to walk home. 

You Heard Me celebrates the quiet as well as the loud, the soft as well as the hard. 

You Heard Me is a true story about the power to re-make, re-mould and disrupt. A celebration of a single moment of noise that freed Luca from an attack. Made her understand what it means to take up space. To heal. To be part of something much bigger than yourself.  

This is a show about refusing to stay quiet. This show exists because without using her voice, Luca wouldn’t.

Are you still listening?
