Drama on 3 at Free Thinking: A Summer Night
A live performance from the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts in Gateshead of a drama written especially for Free Thinking, set during the English riots of 2011.
Live from the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, a drama written especially for Free Thinking by Jack Thorne.
Set during the recent riots, A Summer Night tells three personal stories from the night when the capital changed shape. A policeman on duty, a carer trying to get to her patient, a teenager on a night out - their paths cross and collide in ways you won't expect.
The play does contain strong language.
