‘The show (Roadside) was an innovative and inspiring piece deftly weaving together authentic storytelling, high quality sound design that perfectly encapsulated free party culture and so much more. We are really proud to have supported such wonderful work, especially as it links so perfectly with our previous Heritage lottery funded project - Art of resistance that explored connection between activism and art especially our research strand of counterculture.’
Esther Afikiruweh - Combined Arts Producer - Trinity Centre
‘I’ve never found a play that has my life in it before! It's so amazing to see! You have to keep doing this. I grew up in a truck and came to see the show in London because my mate in Bristol told me it was amazing. I have so many more friends who need to see this!’

‘A capacity to conjure with spoken language and be wholly in the act of expression'
Ayse Tashkiran - BanShee
A brilliantly unconventional piece of modern performance art that simply, but effectively, taps into our sense of memory, reality, self and loneliness.
