A pop-up summer theatre festival featuring exhibitions, drumming workshops and world premiere performances will arrive in Manchester later this month.
From July 29 to August 6, the Royal Exchange Theatre will set up eco-friendly mobile theatre The Den at M8 at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Cheetham Hill. The Den festival will feature an array of theatre productions, craft days and work from residents in the area.
Tickets to the event will be free or cost a £1 donation, which will go towards the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. The two-week festival will feature a brand-new show by Manchester writer Nikhil Parmar and the world premiere of Sonia Jalaly’s Cold Chips and Pick N Mix, which has been developed alongside members of the local community.
