A Small Town Northern Tale by Northern Wind Theatre Co is a coming-of-age comedy-drama following David's move from the city to a small Northern town where being the only Black kid makes fitting in near-impossible. Set against the backdrop of the early noughties — lads mags, MSN and questionable fashion — the show blends nostalgia and sharp humour with a Black British story about identity and belonging. Running 60 minutes at Iron Belly, tickets start from £8.50. Suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
