Finding Peace

Finding Peace

3 Sept 2025 - 6 Sept 2025

You asked, we listened. Coming September 2025, join us as we introduce the emotional sequel to our sell out show 'Missing Piece'. Yes it's a sequel. No you absolutely do not need to have seen the first show. Will it make you laugh, sing, dance and let's face it cry as much as the first one? Almost certainly! Picture the scene. It's four years since the most important person in your life sadly passed away. A lot can happen in four years. You can become a parent, start a business, retire or you can drown in your own grief. Let's assume that those we love never truly leave us. What would it take to help those we left behind 'find peace'? A sneaky glass of wine after work? New love? Creating the best damn drag bar in town? Charitable foundations? Or just a dose of good old fashioned home truths? To find out join our incredibly talented cast on their journey to 'finding peace' in this moving jukebox musical that, like it's predecessor, is sure to leave you wanting more. Oh and did we mention ALL proceeds every single penny go to The UK Sepsis Trust. We can't wait to see you there!
