As part of South Leeds Life’s ongoing partnership with Leeds Playhouse we are able to offer a free* pair of tickets to a range of shows coming up over the next six months.
*Of course there’s no such thing as a free lunch, so although the tickets are free we do ask for something in return. We rely on our readers to review the plays they see. You can write the review yourself and send it us for publication, or if you’re not confident to write it yourself, you can chat to one of our reporters who will write up your thoughts into a review.
The season features a huge range of plays from the the local to the international. Maggie May and Freedom Project demonstrate deep-rooted pioneering collaborations between Leeds Playhouse and its communities, telling stories of human resilience; Oliver Twist and A Little Night Music revisit familiar stories, retelling them with fresh voices and a reinvigorated vision; and Missing People and Monsoon Wedding embrace international collaborations, reflecting global perspectives and bringing the world to Leeds.
Leeds Playhouse Artistic Director James Brining said:
“The reopening of Leeds Playhouse has reinvigorated the theatre’s relationship with the city and placed us at the heart of a modern and vibrant region. The energy and dynamism of the new building drives our ambition to be a force for positive change within Leeds City Region and across the wider industry. I am extremely proud of our Spring/Summer Season and the scale and ambition we are presenting, which showcases new writing and familiar texts brought to life in a fresh way. We are working with a thrilling range of artists to create work which both reflects the world we live in and the environment we create around us. As we head towards our 50th anniversary, we’re at the beginning of the next great chapter for this brilliant theatre in this extraordinary city.”
