Spotlight: LESSONS IN TEMPERAMENT at The Rose

From award-winning immersive theatre company, Outside The March, Brampton On Stage presents this story of four neurodiverse brothers, told through a theatrical escape into the art and science of piano tuning.

It is impossible to perfectly tune a piano – something that musician and theatre-maker James Smith knows all too well. A few years ago James taught himself how to tune pianos as an additional source of income between gigs and discovered something even more valuable – the perfect metaphor through which to process the mental complexities of his family and their life-long journeys with OCD, autism, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. James shares the story of his family, while getting the piano in front of him beautifully and imperfectly in tune.
