    The Lodger
    Written by Dora Colquhoun.
    Starring Dora Colquhoun and George Jenkins.

    A restless deer leaves home, running into the unknown. This thought provoking, sometimes tragic, sometimes hilarious tale follows the deer's journey as it encounters a menagerie of characters, all yearning for a sense of belonging.
    Through live original music, captivating storytelling, and side-splitting comedy, The Lodger explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the enduring power of home.
    Prepare to be moved, probed, and inspired by this unforgettable theatrical experience as you are invited to look at your own mask and ask 'Does it still fit?'

    (16+) The show references adult themes, sexual references and strong language.
    Supported by Arts Council England.
