Your Round. Your Say.
Dash Arts presents Our Public House
Written by Barney Norris
Created and directed by Josephine Burton
Music and lyrics by Jonathan Walton
In a town/city just like yours, a whole community spoiled their ballots and cast no vote. Now, as a storm rages outside, landlady Sanjana, Scott the guitar-playing regular and some unexpected guests are stuck together in their local. Tensions rise, love sparks, secrets spill out and everyone starts speaking their minds.
With live music and the real words of people across England, Our Public House is a funny and big-hearted show about change, in a pub where anything can happen.
From award-winning Dash Arts, writer Barney Norris (“of grace and luminosity” – The Stage) and director Josephine Burton (“immersive ingenuity” – The Observer).
Take part in Our Public House
Our Public House is inspired by speech writing workshops Dash Arts ran across the country and all the amazing people and speeches we’ve met and heard. We want to work with the people of Leeds and surrounding areas, and welcome your voices to be heard in our play at Leeds Playhouse.
Each performance of Our Public House will involve a group of local participants who will perform in some of the scenes of the play, alongside professional actors. You will watch the show from the auditorium in the first half, and then move to audience seating onstage in the second half.
For more info download the flyer here. Or email Cristina at Dash Arts on participation@dasharts.org.uk to express interest. Please write “OUR PUBLIC HOUSE – LEEDS” in the subject
