Chemistry is back, with another night of poetry and spoken word, two brilliant headliners and our amazing open mic. This time round our headliners are Leeds legend Ian Duhig and Cheshire poet Angela Topping.
The events are themed on the elements of the periodic table, so this time it’s element number 16, which is S for Sulphur. The theme is entirely optional, but we hope you might use it as a creative prompt to come up with some new work to reveal on the night.
BAFTA-nominated (Broadchurch) actor and narrator Julie Hesmondhalgh (Coronation Street, Mr Bates vs The Post Office) joins us for two nights of seasonal stories and glorious festive music performed by an ensemble from the Orchestra of Opera North.
The stage is set on a chilly Christmas Eve, as our Storyteller weaves traditional tales through musical arrangements including ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies’ and ‘Good King Wenceslas’ – made especially for a group of ten musicians, by composer Andy Stamatakis-Brown.
