It is not an opera.
It is a play where every word just happens to be sung...
Waking up tied together, Tom and Kate can’t remember a thing.... not about the last few days anyway. Everything is a total blank, except for a halloumi kebab and a double-decker bus. As piece by piece they unravel their memories, each step brings them closer to knowing their captors, closer to their terrifying fate... and closer to each other.
‘Spinach’, written and directed by Janine Waters with music by Simon Waters, premiered at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre in 2011 then transferred to London’s King’s Head Theatre for a critically acclaimed season.
This 10th anniversary production at The Edge Theatre and Arts Centre in Manchester, 30 November – 18 December, will celebrate the 10th anniversary of both the play’s premiere and the venue.
