CULTURE >>

LOCKER ROOM TALK

9 - 13 April

Make your way to Newcastle’s Live Theatre this week for your mid-week culture fix as Locker Room Talk takes to the stage for two nights only. This provocative piece of event theatre presents a rehearsed reading of script which demands to be heard. In the wake of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, this show is an urgent response to everyday misogyny. See it live in NE1 this Wednesday and Thursday - each performance followed by a free post-show discussion with experts in equality and gender studies.
