LAST DANCE To Open At King's Arms, May 2015; Dates Announced For WATCHING GOLDFISH SUFFOCATE

Last Dance runs from May 26th - 30th at The Kings Arms, Salford. Tickets are now on sale.

Created and directed by the award-winning team Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope and written by Hepworth, Last Dance takes an intimate look back to a time that wiped out a generation and caused panic and fear as AIDS ripped its way through an unsuspecting world. Last Dance tells a more intimate story choosing to focus on a group of friends and family who are directly affected by the outbreak at the very beginning. Corey Renman (Richard Allen) is in a great place, he's at the start of a career he loves, he's met a new guy and he has the perfect group of friends and family around him, but after battling illness after illness he learns the truth of what is causing his ill health, in a simple visit to the doctor's office his life is torn apart and everybody around him will feel the devastating effects.

Last Dance shines a light on the strength of the human spirit, regrets, mistakes, love and loss, the play also examines the brave decisions that we make in the worst possible situations, the controversial decisions that leave us asking the bigger questions. Intimate and full of heart, Last Dance reminds us that sometimes we need to look backwards in order to move forward.
