This is a short 30 minute piece of theatre from Northern Irish Playwright, Christina Reid, which will challenge you to consider what it’s like to not fit in, or not to be heard.
“The Gift of the Gab” is a highly stylised piece and a real tour de force from this fledging company. While this national theatre play is aimed at adults with learning disabilities, everyone is encouraged to come along and watch this powerful production as it will have you enthralled and challenged throughout.
There is a real twist to this piece of theatre and although short in duration it sends out a powerful and warming message in its conclusion.
“The Gift of the Gab” is a dynamic and wonderfully choreographed play, and with an exciting workshop with facilitators Lisa May and Ross Anderson, this morning of theatre will be great fun for all.Admission to the performance is £3 and there are group discounts available. Contact Strule Arts Centre Box Office on 028 8224 7831.
Based at Derry’s Millennium Forum, Stage Beyond is a theatre company specifically for adults with learning disabilities.
