Andy Smith - Summit (Tonight We Fly)

Summit

A new play by Andy Smith

"We need to use our imagination. We need to imagine that change might be possible. That change is possible, however hard or impossible it might seem.”

In a blend of languages, including fully integrated BSL, three performers tell a story from three perspectives. It is the story of an international meeting. A meeting called to respond to a crisis. A meeting at which something happened, and in that moment everything changed.

Exploring equality and inviting action, SUMMIT is the new play by renowned theatre-maker Andy Smith, writer-performer of The Preston Bill, Commonwealth, and (alongside Tim Crouch), what happens to the hope at the end of the evening.

Age 14+

Tonight We Fly

A festival of events across Leeds

30 Oct – 3 Nov

What happens when we gather together to talk and make plans? We think it might be possible to fly.

This week we invite you to reflect on the past, consider the present and celebrate our hopes for the future.

There will be conversations and ideas, meals and parties, performances and installations.

There is something for everyone. Join us, join in, take part in everything or something. We can’t wait to meet you.

A collaboration between Fuel, The Holbeck, Leeds International Film Festival, Leeds Central Library, Leeds Plahouse, Leeds Town Hall, Live Art Bistro, Slung Low, Transform and University of Leeds.

Supported by Leeds Playhouse and the Wellcome Trust
