Freeman

Theatre Deli exists to support theatremakers and artists in the creation of their work.The main way in which we do this is by working with commercial property owners to make use of empty buildings where we create artistic hubs. These house performance spaces, rehearsal rooms, offices, studios and workshops that we open up for theatrical, artistic and charitable use.Our main focus is on supporting emerging theatremakers working at the cutting edge of theatre practice, particularly those working in non-traditional forms – whether that be through exploring the nature of the theatrical space, immersive experiences, game-playing, live art or other manifestations of performance which cross boundaries and defy definition.

Theatre Deli (Artist Support)

Following its critically acclaimed sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Freeman comes to the Lawrence Batley Theatre.
Winner of a Spirit of the Fringe Award and shortlisted for Amnesty International’s Freedom of Expression Award, Freeman is inspired by the first man in America to plead Insanity as his defence and sees writer Camilla Whitehill (Where Do Little Birds Go?) and Strictly Arts examine the unspoken link between mental health and systemic racism. 
Throughout time and across waters, from William Freeman to Sarah Reed, six true stories are threaded together and told through physical theatre, spoken word, gospel singing, shadow puppetry and more. 
History is bound to repeat itself when the thumb is permanently bearing down on the loop button, so has anything really changed?
