Barrowland Ballet - Chunky Jewellery
Created by Natasha Gilmore, Jude Williams and Ben Duke
Two friends, one year, two births, a death, 18 bursts of laughter, 34,000 tears (each) and one piece of chunky jewellery.
It was a year to forget but instead Natasha and Jude turned it into a show. This is a comedy that bites. Pulling the shadows into the spotlight, they search for the form into which their stories might fit. An achingly joyous celebration of sisterhood, taking the audience on an emotional rollercoaster with open-hearted, brutal honesty. These uncompromising performers team up with Olivier Award nominated Ben Duke of Lost Dog to create this unflinchingly honest, human and hilarious show.
First premiered in partnership with Tramway, we're excited to see Chunky Jewellery return this summer.
