All new production photos have been released for Dash Arts' new show OUR PUBLIC HOUSE, which will open at Leeds Playhouse on Thursday, May 21 ahead of a UK tour. Check out the photos below!
Josephine Burton directs Chaya Gupta (Anika), Gabriella Leon (Mary), Lauren Moakes (Jo), Bharti Patel (Sanjana), Feargus O'Donnell (Scott) and Kit Esuruoso (Tom) in award-winning playwright Barney Norris's funny and big-hearted new play with live music about community, connection and what might change if everyone had their say.
When an entire community spoils their ballots and refuses to vote, a local pub on the brink of closure becomes the only place left to talk. In a city divided by politics, secrets spill. Songs rise. People fall in love. Something shifts.
As questions about local power, party control and democratic trust move back to the centre of public debate, the production offers a cultural lens on the same issue: why people disengage, and what it might take to rebuild a sense of agency in this funny and big-hearted new play with songs.
