A event on Friday 13th September. The event starts at 19:30.
I was like wot! Abuse has shaped my whole life, and no-one ever talks about it.
Listen.
Silence.
And around this time the NSPCC published the report about the 11 million...
and then Jimmy Savile and up to a thousand victims...
and everyone agrees it's awful...
but you're still the downer at the dinner party if you talk about yourself as part of that narrative.
In a tipi in the middle of Somerset, when she was a new mum and there were only the wilds, Viv Gordon remembers. Through her characteristic humour and warmth, Viv leads us through the act of remembering and what happened next. A powerhouse of a show combining installation, live performance and collective acts of resistance - this is a vital call to arms.
Show timings: Doors Open @ 7pm. Show @ 7.30pm. Post Show Discussion @ 8.30pm. Event End @ 9pm. Venue close @ 9:30pm.

“One of the most moving, thrilling, angry and poised pieces of theatre I have ever seen. Viv Gordon holds the space in a way that made me hold my breath, grip my knuckles, cry and yet feel completely safe. This is brilliant theatre”
