How many times have you sat down for a quick breather on the local park bench, or taken in the stunning view before you, perhaps with a loved one by your side, and wondered just how many tales, how many stories the seat could impart, and how we would react.
A bench is not just a pew, it is arguably the means to an open-air confessional, a place where an argument can be aired without it escalating, where someone can unburden their soul and let the wind carry their thoughts to the farthest reaches; if confession is good for the soul then The Bench is a place in which to be seen to address the problems of your life in the modern age.
Three plays, three different perspectives of what a bench can mean to a person’s story comes to The Casa Theatre on Saturday 19th January as Heaven Sent, Friendship Forever and Love is weaved together to make for what will surely be a fascinating evening of drama and redemption.
David Armstrong Productions Brings The Bench to The Casa on Hope Street on Saturday 19th January. Tickets are priced at £10 with concessions available at £8. Tickets are available from casatheatre.co.uk.
