Mixed Up North

Mixed Up North

by Robin Soans

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 for Asian and White teenagers. As she struggles to share her artistic vision with a cast who think acting is “gay”, the compelling stories of the young stars unfold, along with a moving history of their town.
Take your seat at their final dress rehearsal... with tensions rising and mobiles ringing, will Trish bring her utopian dream to a triumphant conclusion?

Press Comment:

"An impressive, eye-opening document about life in the post-industrial North... Soans provides a mass of fascinating information" - Michael Billington, Guardian

"Mixed Up North is bracing, combative and oddly joyous" - Paul Taylor, Independent
