Uniquely blending theatre, movement and documentary, Shed Stories is a heartwarming performance that brings to life the world of ‘Men’s Sheds’; community groups where people can come together to make, repair and repurpose as well as improve their wellbeing and mental health. Combining real-life interviews with compelling movement, it shines a light on the characterful communities around this growing phenomenon.
Funny, thought-provoking and uplifting, this charming production was created through personal interviews with the people who attend and organise these community spaces across the country. Intimately staged with audiences surrounding the performance, Shed Stories combines powerful tales and captivating movement to tell the stories of people involved in and affected by Men's Sheds.
Shed Stories shines a light on community, connection and the little things that keep us going - friendship, laughter… and a nice cup of tea.
SHED STORIES is commissioned by Lincoln Arts Centre & Applause Rural Touring, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with additional support from: UK Men’s Sheds Association, Harrogate Theatre, Transported, Peterborough Presents, Metal Peterborough and Metal Southend.
“Amazing! Powerful stories, brilliant movement… like a shed in a can!”
“Real voices & experiences transformed into a beautiful peek inside the world of Men’s Sheds”
“Funny, thought provoking, and emotional”
