Way Back When - on Tour!
Way Back When is touring to the North West this March, playing at schools, libraries and Penwortham Arts Centre.
It’s been a very long time since Grandma came to the Motherland from Jamaica but some memories never fade. Today she is sharing them.
Way Back When is a show for families about family history and sharing memories. Join us for vibrant storytelling, traditional games, and lots of audience interaction in this journey through time.
Written by Jacqui Livingston and performed by Janelle Thompson and Nicole Acquah, Way Back When is especially suitable for ages 4-10 and runs for approximately 30 minutes.
“We loved it! I was impressed there was so much to learn about the Windrush memories, at the same time as being a participatory show.” Audience Feedback

Friday 14th March at 4.30pm
Wednesday 19th March at 5.30pm
These FREE performances have been made possible by South Ribble’s Community Spaces Funding.

I'm Allergic To People
How far can one go when seeking revenge?
I’m Allergic To People is a new dark comedy by Rebecca Douglass, exploring the experiences of women within sex and dating culture as well as queerness, identity and closure.
The play follows the lives of four young adults trying to navigate life after past traumas. Adam is in denial, Elisabeth has trust issues, Olivia is on the verge of a breakdown and Jay is keeping a dark secret. What happens when their lives become entangled in a twisted plot?
The company is made up of emerging creatives who have worked with The Young Vic, The National Youth Theatre, Burnt Orange Theatre, The Royal Court, Theatre Peckham and Young Actors Theatre Islington. They all share a passion for developing socially relevant and inclusive theatre.
Recommended for ages 14+
Content warning: Strong language, themes of a sexual nature, sexual assault, violence, blood, homophobia, misogyny
I'm Allergic To People is presented as part of Blue Elephant Theatre's Festival for All, showcasing performances by disabled and neurodivergent artists, which is funded by Southwark Council's Culture Together Fund.
