Local - Liz Richardson

Popis produktu

The Boffs were outsiders, not local like, even though we were born there. I was only really a Boff by association.Solo-storyteller Liz revisits her childhood memories and home in the North in an attempt to understand whether she still belongs there, or ever did. In this multigenerational 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.This edition of Local was published to coincide with the production at Rosehill Theatre, Cumbria and subsequent UK tour in May-June 2025.
