the Club on Edge of Town

A deeply moving memoir of how one theatre company, Slung Low, fed their local community during the Covid pandemic of 2020. This is the vivid story of the cost of trying to do good in a divided world. 'There are children in Holbeck without crayons. Living in a city with an opera company. An opera company paid for with money from all of us. Until everyone has crayons no one gets opera.
