    Ever wondered how many kilograms 'pulling your weight' entails? Or how light that feather actually is?

    Well, step into The Weight of Being, an interactive show measuring all aspects of being human, from experiences and emotions to the surrounding social obsession with body image and dieting, aiming to answer the question: How much does the perfect life weigh?

    This performance takes place in CPT's basement space which has step-free access via lift.

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
