The Awkward Guide to Friendship

House of Figs presents: The Awkward Guide to Friendship

Does the cat get your tongue when you’re meeting new people? Does it take a while to get to know you? Are you still trying to believe that you belong, even surrounded by friends? Then climb aboard…

This is a theatre show navigating the choppy waters of friendship, from perfectly platonic meet-cutes to courageous conversations. Join poet Beth Calverley and musician Beth Roberts on a voyage through deep friendship feelings, safely afloat in an otherworldly choir of spoken-word and song. Along the way, they invite their new friends (you!) to help inspire some live improvisations and join in with collective singing – but quiet listening is equally welcomed!

This is a theatre show that will last approximately 90mins including a short interval. The show will take place in the Rougemont Room on the 2nd floor of the Library, accesible via lift and stairs. There is an accesible toilet upstairs. There will be a bar with refreshements including alcohol and soft drinks.
