Sunny Side

Where do young men stand in a world that seems to have no place for them?

K is struggling.

At 18, he’s living in a world where everyone is rushing full steam ahead but himself. He’s trapped in a small English Everytown; a self-proclaimed ‘rain-soaked paradise’ in the bottom of a Yorkshire valley. A town of two sides: old versus new, indigenous versus gentrified. And yet there's still nowhere that seems to fit K. In a last attempt to understand and reconnect, he revisits the pivotal moments of his life but is left paralysed at the prospect of a future where his voice can’t be heard.

Combining contemporary dance, theatre and spoken word, SUNNY SIDE is a raw portrayal of modern masculinity, informed by the voices of over 750 young people across the UK.

Following the performance on Tuesday 8 April, Geoff Colman will host a post-show conversation with the company.
