I Am Asking You To Touch Me - StoryFest

Writer: Eleanor Tindall
Director: Sammy J Glover

Tickets: Pay What You Decide

Thursdays. 6pm. Thrive Space Community Centre. Refreshments provided, regular attendance encouraged, phones prohibited. Please bring an umbrella.

Against the backdrop of a never-ending rainstorm, five strangers try to work through their common addiction. Unlikely alliances blossom. Others shatter. Reality begins to fragment and, just beneath the surface, a potent paranoia starts to grow.

I AM ASKING YOU TO TOUCH ME asks; how do we connect in a hyper-connected world? When does comfort become surrender? And what do we owe each other, really?

Captioned performance - 8pm Saturday 18 July
