Here

A Curious Monkey & Northern Stage & Newcastle University Co Production

Written by Lindsay Rodden | Directed by Amy Golding

Four seasons, four people, from four corners of the world collide. The strange city folds and unfolds around them, a story that opens up like a book to get lost in.

Set against the backdrop of Byker this powerful new play, HERE, by Lindsay Rodden is about finding sanctuary in the unlikeliest of places. About dancing on rooftops, blossom in winter, and re-writing the story of the city as your own. About two best friends with a library card, and the power they summon through friendship and books to make something magical. To say WE WERE HERE.

Here opened at Northern Stage on the 4th March 2022.
