Good evening everybody, and welcome to the Wedding Fayre! Not married yet? Don't feel the need to get hitched? Don't believe in it?
You might not have a choice...
In this darkly humoured vision of a near future, the authorities have declared that any adult who does not conform to the newly minted English standards of 'normal' must be married to somebody who does, by midnight tonight. Or else.
Tom and Ned are running out of time. Fast. With the clock ticking, do they find a wife at the Wedding Fayre... or do they fight back?
From disabled-led theatre company Graeae, renowned for creating bold, barrier-breaking productions that challenge preconceptions and put access at the heart of the theatrical experience. Co-produced with Derby Theatre, comes a brand-new anarchic folk-punk musical packed with rebellion, razor-sharp humour and rousing songs.
The Wedding Fayre features a book by Paul Sirett, a thrilling original score by Max Runham, and is directed by Graeae Artistic Director Jenny Sealey.
All performances creatively integrate British Sign Language, captions and audio description.
