The Red Shed Players of Wakefield have teamed up with Sheffield Unite Community to present “five stories of radical happiness” in a benefit performance at The Shakespeare in Sheffield on Sunday 10 September.
Telling of struggles from the past and present, the stories are intended “to help build a better future” while raising money for the Hadfield Institute Foodbank.
The five 10-15-minute plays will enact the tales of Louise Michel and the Paris Commune; Paul and Joyce Dainton and their 25-year battle against Wakefield’s toxic tip; Jayaben Desai and the Grunwick dispute; Dave Nixon and Insulate Britain; and Emily Carrigan’s Leeds-based Rainbow Junktion.
Entrance is ‘pay as you feel’ and all funds go to the foodbank.
