Slung Low Shorts 5

The best night of short theatre in West Yorkshire is back.

Making a much-anticipated return, Slung Low Shorts returns with five new plays from both established and first-time writers along with a talented company of actors from West Yorkshire. The weekend of performances promises to be an essential part of the summer theatre in Leeds

With a deliberately unpretentious approach to theatre, the Slung Low Shorts team promise a night of ‘no risk’ theatre in the informal space of The Warehouse at Holbeck.

Co-Producer, Lisa Holdsworth, explains.

Going Out: Leeds New Musical

So… we accidentally wrote a musical about grief, escapism, the fear of moving on, and being trapped in a nightclub forever. Oops.

A group of friends, each facing their own challenges, stumble into a mysterious club. As the night progresses, they’re pulled into a strange and disorienting experience that forces them to reckon with more than they expected. Blending gritty realism with dark humour, the show explores identity, loss, and the emotional cost of chasing an escape, all underscored with modern EDM.

Twelfth Night Or What You Will

Noisy Cow Theatre Co are defying heteronormativity to bring forth a production which is unashamedly and delectably queer in all rights: whether you want a gay pirate, a pining romantic, or a genderfluid heartthrob — this play is for you. Gender and identity become remarkably fluid and ever-changing concepts within this beloved play. If there was ever a testament to Shakespeare’s relevance in the modern day, this is it.

Breadcrumbs

Hansel and Gretel are siblings that just can't seem to get along. They argue about everything: Who's the loudest, who's the fastest, who's the smartest, who's Mum's favourite, and who gets the most Christmas presents?!

So when they wake up lost and confused in the heart of the enchanted forest one day, it's no surprise they even disagree about how they came to be there! But with only a trail of breadcrumbs to guide them home, they'll have to put aside their differences once and for all to solve the mystery of how they got there and make it home in time for tea!

Operation Mincemeat

Operation Mincemeat is the 2024 Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical. It’s London’s biggest hit with 77 Five-Star reviews, making it the best-reviewed show in West End history. Now also a Tony-nominated Best Musical on Broadway!

The year is 1943 and right now we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse.

Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, Operation Mincemeat is the fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story of the twisted secret mission that won us World War II.

MAMMA MIA!

MAMMA MIA! is celebrating 25 Super Trouper years!

My, my, how can you resist the world’s favourite feel-good musical as it celebrates its 25th anniversary? Since first opening in London’s West End, the exhilarating smash-hit has become a global phenomenon, thrilling over 70 million people worldwide.

The sunny, funny tale of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads on a Greek island idyll, all unfolding to the magic of ABBA’s timeless pop masterpieces, has also been turned into two record-breaking movies.
