Theatre

25th May 2023 - 27th May 2023

UNTIL Saturday 27th May

The Garrick Theatre will stage an amateur production of Simon Stephens' 'Port'.

25-27 May will see a performance of 'Port', written by Stockport-born playwright Simon Stephens.

The description on the Garrick website runs as follows:

"Set in Stockport between 1988 and 2002. From the age of 11 to 24, Rachael Keats' whole life is revealed in tiny moments.

"Whilst everyone around her is letting her down or leaving her behind, still full of optimism, will Rachael be able to make her own way in the world?

"Simon Stephens, born in Stockport in 1971, has received both an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.

"He is one of the most prolific contemporary playwrights in the UK. PORT is his love letter to Stockport - in a way that can only make sense in Stockport!

"PORT explores key Simon Stephens themes, such as the ferocity and fragility of being human - our capability for transgression, violence, fear - and our great capacity for hope and love."
