Three performances, three venues
Discussing topics such as caring for your elderly parents, grief and growing older, can be difficult to explore at the best of times but we are addressing these topics head on by sponsoring a trilogy of plays across Leeds in October / November.
The plays have all been written by
Brian Daniels. Based in North Leeds, Brian is an award-winning playwright and frequently commissioned to write about difficult topics – bringing them to life through performance.
Renowned for our support of local community groups as well as encouraging an active cultural programme at all of our locations, we have teamed up with Brian to offer FREE performances of his 'radio-style plays' this Autumn. Any donations on the door will be passed onto partner charities which include
Holbeck Elderly Aid,
St Gemma's Hospice and
Leeds Irish Health and Homes.
Performances are FREE but booking is essential.

A successful peformance of Fighting for Life took place in October with Holbeck Elderly Aid.
Fighting for Life explores the pressures of modern life and supporting elderly parents. The story examines the dilemma facing a couple's middle-aged children about how to access the best treatment and care – will their parents be forced to live separately after a 60-year marriage and how will their health issues be monitored?
