A play celebrating the cultural heritage, music, and memories of Women of African / Caribbean descent
The ReUnion is a powerful live performance celebrating the Cultural Heritage, Music and Memories of the cast consisting of women of African/Caribbean descent who are honoured to be 'Embracing Their Next Chapter' and incorporating their lived experiences.
It explores identity, belonging, resilience and joy all whilst acknowledging the realities of racism in everyday life and all with a reflective and respectful approach.
The show is vibrant and presents a combination of both a Play and a Party - blending theatre with a social gathering and celebration. It includes, dance, audience interaction and opportunities to reminisce through the music of the time and era and culminating with post-show music to be enjoyed by all.
Dig out those; Bell Bottoms, Mini, Midi, Maxi Skirt and Dresses, Tank Tops, Curly Perms, Platform Shoes. With imagination engaged, join the cast as they revisit the 'Groovy' club scene of Manchester and the excitement of 'The Shrine in Lagos.
Pre show, enjoy a cup of Tea/Coffee whilst remembering your go to tipple of the time -
Gals - Babycham, Cherry B, Cinzano, Blue Nun
Guys - Watneys Red, Double Diamond, Whitbread Tankard, Harp and so much more,
The ReUnion is the second show for the cast and follows on from the success of their first ever show Dominoes, Dahlias + Oware which won two awards - Best Age Friendly Award together and Fantastic Family Award. Dominoes proved such a success that it was sought after resulting in performances at a variety of venues in Greater Manchester and further afield with a commission by The Story House, Theatre, Chester.
We are flattered and truly happy to be bringing the show home to Central Manchester in the beautiful, prestigious venue - Central Library.
