Theatre
Creative TouristSmall-scale theatre is often where things get most interesting – closer, riskier, more immediate. We’re leaning into that in our latest theatre picks across 53two and HOME’s smaller theatre space, with a wider-reaching production at Leeds Playhouse for good measure.
In HOME’s Theatre 2, two works push at form and perspective. Nation brings a unsettling fable about nationhood and how communities narrate themselves into being, while The City for Incurable Women offers a queasy exploration of medical misogyny.
At 53two, things get more intimate and more chaotic. A Sudden, Disturbing To Do List explores one woman’s spiralling OCD, and Funeral Teeth gathers queer fragments of grief in all its forms. And Leeds Playhouse offers something more expansive in The Beekeeper of Aleppo – a journey shaped by war, trauma and fragile human connection.
