Political documentary theatre company, LUNG, are returning to Salford following a successful run at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019.
Founded in Barnsley, the company specialise in innovative and politically driven work, collaborating with local communities.
Helen Monks and Matt Woodhead, co-artistic directors of LUNG, said:
“If you look at every single play, the issues are really relatable
“We want to tell British stories that aren’t being spoken about enough.”
Lowry artists’ LUNG specialises in verbatim theatre, using real life quotes to form a true representation of events.
In 2014, documents alleging a conspiracy to Islamise Birmingham schools were leaked to the media.
LUNG investigate what really happened using material adapted from the real-life testimonies of those at the heart of the UK Government’s inquiry.
More recently enjoyed success with their tour of ‘Who Cares’, which they created as Lowry artists, Gaddum and young carers from Salford.
