“The branches on the trees start to shake. The lampposts start to creak. The cars in the drives and parked along the street start to bounce, and a house alarm a few streets over starts to shriek. Then the road starts to crack.”
WINNER, NORTH EAST CULTURE AWARDS: PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR
“The blend of community cast and seasoned actors culminated in a warm, life-affirming show for the packed out audience … this production serves up a cracking array of one-liners interspersed with catchy tunes … a hilarious, and often poignant, snapshot into ordinary life” – Mag North
“fast and funny with music and narrative cleverly interwoven” – Cultured North East
“The show really works. The combination of characters that one cares about, in a story that we can relate to … once again Unfolding Theatre have created a show that stands out.” – North East Theatre Guide
“The script by Carr has warmth and wit, and some interesting points to make about community, loneliness and co-operation” – InNewcastle
One normal street, three different people, one massive sinkhole.
A STREET LIKE THIS takes us from the everyday to the extraordinary, in a music filled theatre production that reminds us we’ve got more in common than divides us.
Featuring original songs co-written by Ross Millard (The Futureheads) and the company, A STREET LIKE THIS is an optimistic, fantastical and often funny insight into an ordinary life lived extraordinarily.
Could it be that we all have a street like this?
You decide.
