"the latest superb piece of verbatim theatre from those masters of the form: the director Max Stafford-Clark and the writer Robin Soans…shot through with a rueful humour and a sense of the quirkiness of fate – unmissable”
The Independent on Out of Joint’s Talking to Terrorists

Based on real events, Mixed Up North is a fiercely funny and moving new play about the difficulties of uniting divided racial communities in the Lancashire mill town of Burnley.

Trish leads a youth theatre group designed to bring Asian and White teenagers together and as the harassed director Bella struggles to share her artistic vision with a cast who think acting is “gay”, the compelling stories of the young stars and their dedicated community workers unfold.

It's the final dress rehearsal, and tensions rise and bonds fracture. Can Trish and Bella bring this utopian dream to a triumphant conclusion?

Please note this play contains strong language throughout.
