Light UP Shirley Ensemble invites you to attend a performance of their original work in progress, "The Wall." The piece has been devised entirely by the cast throughout a lengthy process which also involved participation on the #BeeWell Project which funded the early portion of our research phase along with support from So: Linked and Southampton Voluntary Services. 

We are extraordinarily proud of the efforts of the entire cast, who have really pushed themselves creatively to tackle a difficult topic with heart, humour, humility and above all else honesty. After receiving tremendous feedback following our 'Scratch Night' performance in late July 2024 the cast is back again and looking forward to welcoming a supportive audience to input on the piece before taking it on to any further stages of development. There will be an opportunity to ask and answer questions and to leave your comments at the end of the performance, we encourage constructive criticism which will help educate us and refine the piece to ensure it is impactful and handled with care.

Due to some sensitive subject matters, our recommended age is 12+ but this is at parental discretion. 

Thank you to all our supporters but in particular, #BeeWell who have supported us at every stage of development including making it possible to bring you this very special performance. 

Do pop in between the times below and see what we do and how we do it. Meet some of our members and find out more about different aspects of theatre. Free refreshments.
