A live outdoor performance by Speak Woman Speak

Come and listen to the dreams of neighbours in this intimate, one-off outdoor performance from Speak Woman Speak.

Created from real stories and conversations with local people, Garden Tales explores our hopes for ourselves, our children, our communities and the planet. Through verbatim theatre, personal stories are woven together into a shared vision of what a better future might look like.

Performed in the garden itself, this is an opportunity to pause, listen, imagine and dream together - surrounded by nature.

Tickets are Pay What You Can, just 10 places available.

Donations welcome.

Unfortunately, there is no level access or ramp to the rooftop garden. Everyone attending must use the steps to access the garden where the performance takes place and be comfortable walking around the space. This is an outdoor performance and audiences will need to stand throughout.
