Testament - Saints on a Bridge (directed by Jamie Sophia Fletcher)

We are thrilled to have Testament back at Wainsgate after his wonderful talk What HipHop has taught us complete with beat-boxing, rap and a tour through the history of HipHop at Summer at Wainsgate in June.

The award-winning writer, rapper, and beatboxer will be bringing his electrifying new show to the stage – a powerful blend of spoken word, hip-hop, beatboxing, song, and theatre.
Through the interwoven voices of the broken lives circling a small church community we explore what identity and connection means in 21st Century Britain.

When bridges are used to divide, the world forgets we are neighbours.

Saints on a Bridge brings to life the inner worlds of a youth worker, a church warden, a teenage boy, a police officer, and a long-suffering vicar – all drawn together by a single event that brings their faith and fellowship to the brink.

Stories collide in a raw, funny, and deeply human reflection on race, faith, and community
…and what happens when silence can no longer hold.

Funny, raw, and deeply human, this show by acclaimed director Jamie Sophia Fletcher takes Testament’s signature fusion of rhythm and drama turns everyday speech into poetry and power – as we search for something to bring us together.

“There’s a bridge… where nobody looks up.”
