Starting something new as an adult is terrifying and exciting and nerve-wracking, but she's going to follow her heart - it's now or never.

Follow Fiadh in her search for her true home. Finding Home features dancers from Tyneside Irish Dance, a group that offers neurodivergent friendly classes for both new and returning dancers of all ages, as well as running beginner friendly ceilis and events across the North East.

Brawn Theatre: Coming Home

Brawn Theatre: Coming Home

30 Jul 2025 - 31 Jul 2025

Its an English summer and, surely this year, football is going to be Coming Home?! As crowds gather in fan parks and bars, Jack and Suzie have decided to watch the game at home, together. As the nation prepares for another night of nail-biting tension, Jacks attempts at trying to control his frustration soon take a dark turn and Suzie is left dealing with issues between them that span far greater than a 90-minute knockout match. Brawn Theatre Company presents Coming Home the second play by Christopher Wollaton (Brawn) and stars Lucy Farrar, Christopher Wollaton and is directed by Michael Parker. Coming Home is a powerful story about the impact football culture has on the partners of fans. The play is full of hopeful joy, nerve wrenching football anguish, hilarious football/English references and a couple dealing with expectations to raise a family, remain intimate and figure out if they can be truly open with one and other. Previous Reviews: If that team is the England football team you can introduce layers of hope, desire, frustration, and as we all know, ultimately disappointment. When similar emotions are applied to the romance between Jack (Christopher Wollaton) and Suzie (Lucy Farrar), you have a hilarious drama that is just as dramatic and emotional as any penalty shootout. There are some excellent one-liners and enjoyable comic set pieces. Especially well done was a nicely observed take on the national anthem. The absurdity of getting so angry and anxious about a football match is central to the play and I have been guilty of shouting at the telly when watching England play myself (havent we all?) Christopher Wollaton, who also wrote the play, gave Jack an ardent intensity and a nave charm. He was infantile, wanting satisfaction in all things whether that was his team winning, drinking more beer, or having sex with Suzie. Lucy Farrars performance was so natural and authentic that she did not seem to be acting. On the surface, all seemed fine, but she caught the pain and torment Suzie was going through with an astute ease. Even if you have to relive all those times you thought football was coming home, only to see it go somewhere else, this play is undoubtedly worth seeing. Audience Feedback: An important play about masculinity and those affected by their partners fragility This play covers a topic so relatable to a nation of football fanatics From the comedy of a national anthem sung out of time, to the anguish of a penalty shootout and relationship in crisis, this play will be sure to keep you glued to your seat like any big football match Please note this event will be performed upstairs in Newgate Social which currently has no step free access.
