A show about home, belonging or not, and letting go.

'Local' is a solo show where storyteller Liz revisits her childhood memories and home in West Cumbria in an attempt to understand whether she still belongs there, or ever did. In this multi-generational piece, Liz takes the audience on a journey through the rural landscape and environment of her home, reconnecting with voices from the past and her young family now.

In doing so, she unearths some painful home truths. By the end, Liz and the audience discover a shared reality that she hadn't set out to find.

'Local' will have audiences laughing and crying simultaneously, it will feel familiar but unsettling. Visuals and sound help encompass Liz’s world in the early 90s.

Superb venue, clean, and the theatre is beautiful. Saw a film for the first time last night, sound and picture were awesome. Highly recommended.

Rosehill is a hidden gem. The theatre is special and makes you feel as if you are going some where special.
