Barrowland Ballet: Chunky Jewellery

About this event
Two friends, one year, two births, a death, 18 bursts of laughter, 34,000 tears (each), and one piece of chunky jewellery. It was a year to forget, but instead Natasha and Jude co-created an epic autobiographical show with Ben Duke (Olivier Nominated / Lost Dog). Combining a potent patchwork of theatre, dance, comedy, and self penned and borrowed songs, Chunky Jewellery tells the story of two single mothers navigating life, death and everything in-between. An honest and raw account of sisterhood and solidarity in grief, survival with courage and resilience...making a life from the fragments of their dreams and their kids’ musical instruments. Hailed as ‘Relatable and moving - a winning piece of autobiographical dance-theatre.’ ★★★★ (The Times), These uncompromising and formidable performers deliver an unflinchingly human and life-affirming piece of theatre. Reviews ★★★★★ “Truly one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen” - Young Perspective ★★★★ “Genuinely moving and life affirming” - The Herald ★★★★ “Genius throughout” - British Theatre Guide ★★★★★ “Heart-warming joy and poignant.” - Young Perspective ★★★★ “Feisty, funny energy” - The Herald ★★★★ “Fun, laughter and the tears of these two very special storytellers” - British Theatre Guide
