A new play from BAFTA nominated writer John Hales will be performed at the Seagull Theatre in Pakefield next week.
Exploring the cultural and societal impacts of extremism following the 7/7 London attacks, the production company 14/7 is able to bring this hard hitting performance to the venue for two nights – thanks to a grant from Arts Council England.
It will be performed next Thursday and Friday, February 1/2, with tickets free but limited, which are available from the Seagull Theatre box office on 01502 589726. Doors will open at 7pm with the performance starting at 7.30pm. The play deals with some dark themes following the 7/7 bombings and includes material which makes it only suitable for audience aged 15 and above. Each performance is followed by a Q&A session.
