Sisters 360

Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi step-sisters in all of Bradford and they will win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition, there is no doubt about it.

Except their parents have started whispering in the kitchen about living apart… and only the greatest super plan ever concocted will help them achieve their dreams. Don’t miss this brand-new production inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters Layna, Maysa and Amaya, and their hero Sky Brown.

The Intrusion

The world has ended, time to rejoice.

A leader emerges, one who promises a better future. This curious community may have outlived the humans, but can they undo the damage already caused?

The Intrusion is a dynamic new collaboration from Bric à Brac Theatre and Told by an Idiot. Featuring original music, creative captioning, and clown; this darkly comic production offers an anarchic look at extinction and questions who gets to survive.

The House Party

A wild party. A friendship. And one night that changes everything.

It’s Julie’s 18th birthday, and she’s throwing a party in her father’s extravagant townhouse. Her boyfriend has just dumped her and her long-suffering best friend Christine is trying to pick up the pieces.

As the revellers pile into the booze, down in the kitchen Christine and her boyfriend Jon – son of Julie’s cleaner – clear up and dare to dream of the future. But as the volume goes up and the shots go down, Julie concocts a twisted cocktail of entitlement, desire and destruction.

Smogg Says

“'Smogg Says' is what I aim to be the first of many shows, showcasing a body of work that focuses on promoting conversation on social and political topics that I am passionate about and that are influenced by my own life experiences and those around me. This show’s subject focuses on exploring my experiences working as a stripper (dancer) in the UK for the past three years.

Through photography, illustration, and clothing, I will be delving into the history of stripping and its roots, as well as showcasing performances from colleagues who also work within the industry.”
