MIXED UP NORTH is a fiercely funny and moving new play about the difficulties of uniting divided racial communities in the Lancashire mill town of Burnley.
Trish leads a youth theatre group designed to bring Asian and White teenagers together. As the harassed and heavily pregnant director Bella struggles to share her artistic vision with a cast who think acting is ‘gay’, the compelling stories of the young stars unfold. It’s the final dress rehearsal: tensions rise and bonds fracture. Can Trish and Bella bring this utopian dream to a triumphant conclusion?
MIXED UP NORTH reunites award-winning director Max Stafford-Clark and writer Robin Soans, whose last play for Out of Joint was the highly acclaimed political drama Talking to Terrorists.
"5 STARS - the latest superb piece of verbatim theatre from those masters of the form: the director Max Stafford-Clark and the writer Robin Soans... unmissable” The Independent on Talking to Terrorists
