SUMMARY:The Hideout
DESCRIPTION:Friendship is wonderful… and tricky. Especially when you’re Luca. \nThe Hideout is a vibrant and daring mix of circus\, parkour\, and heartfelt storytelling that captures the highs and lows of making a new friend. Through breathtaking acrobatics and playful physical theatre\, Luca and Maya navigate the delicate balance of trust\, boundaries\, competition\, and connection. \nWhen a fallen tree becomes their secret playground\, together\, they turn this simple hideout into a world of daring climbs\, risky jumps\, and unexpected discoveries. \nFunny\, touching\, and spectacularly bold\, The Hideout invites audiences to rediscover the bravery it takes to say\, “Do you want to play?” \nOriginal music\, playful parkour and heaps of silly ideas explore the anxiety children often feel around friendships in an accessible and beautifully visual way.

SUMMARY:Weaning Group

It can be confusing knowing when and how to start introducing solid foods\, but we're here to guide you through the weaning journey and explain what it all means. We've got expert NHS advice\, useful videos\, tips from other parents\, and lots of simple\, healthy weaning recipe and meal ideas. \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact your local Best Start Family Hub. \n

SUMMARY:Live@TheLibrary: Bookclub and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Eyeline Theatre bring two amazing shorts presented by professional actors and directors. \n\n\n\n\nBook Club. by Philip Stiles. \nMaddie and George are newbies in a suburban avenue in Manchester. They join a local book club in order to get to know their neighbours. It's their turn to host. The evening hobbles along a tad awkwardly when a stranger knocks at the door only to turn everything on its head. Think Madame Arcati meets Abigail's Party! \nLegacy. by Patricia Cunningham. \nThat old chestnut - family feuds. Mattie\, visually-impaired\, is adamant that he will have nothing to do with his son Dominic who he believes has sold something very precious to him\, a gift passed down from his father and now to Dominic. Dominic\, a student\, strives to make contact. Mattie's wife and Dominic's mother\, Cathy\, is sandwiched in the middle and tries to act as go-between. Things inevitably come to a head. Will peace and harmony return or is this the end of the father-son relationship? \nEyeline Theatre and Productions\, a Community Interest Company works with experienced professionals and new and emerging actors and writers. We include mentoring and dramaturgy. \nOur monthly writers' script R &D workshops are very popular and productive for both writers and actors who read the material. \nDuring production rehearsals\, we open up a short window to the public for one hour to those with an interest in the art of performance. \nWe are dedicated to the creative arts and strive to bring artists together to network in a relaxed and enjoyable medium.

SUMMARY:Anthem for Dissatisfaction
DESCRIPTION:'Irish Twins' Sarah and Jamie are about to hit 30. But before they do\, they're re-living their greatest hits; ‘Credit crunch’\, ‘Austerity’ and ‘Free School Meals’… Benefits Britain never sounded so good! \nA euphoric\, working-class celebration of the power of live music\, teenage angst\, sibling rivalry and love. \nJamie is the baby of the family. He has absolutely no tact\, no patience and no filter. But where did that ever get anyone? Sarah is 11 months and 4 days older which means she’s smarter\, she’s cooler and she’s right about everything. She was right that Oasis were freedom\, she was right that Manic Street Preachers were poetry\, and she was right to be worried when Dad lost his job. And in 2023 everything’s going wrong again\, the bills keep going up and the opportunities keep going down. Sarah and Jamie aren’t two kids in one bedroom anymore\, the future is uncertain and there’s only so long you can hang on to the past. \nAn electric and hilarious\, coming-of-age anthem for anyone who ever wanted more! \n'Bold and unashamedly loud ... great craic that reveals the great cracks in our splintered society.' - The Reviews Hub \nWritten by Gina Donnelly\nDirected by Gina Donnelly and Tony Devlin\nThe original run of ‘Anthem For Dissatisfaction’ was commissioned by Brassneck Theatre Company through ACNI Commissioning Fund and co-produced by Brassneck Theatre Company and SkelpieLimmer Productions.
