Past Shows

Talespin enjoy a rich tradition of taking theatre into theatrical venues and into the community. From our first show, Somme Men which was our debut to the Manchester theatre scene to our first GM Fringe performance this year in 2019.

We think it ever important to bring theatre to audiences on the stage as well as community and schools, keeping in touch with audiences everywhere and taking what we learn from theatre and tours and bringing that magic to both.

It's a cold November at The Somme. Four men are tasked with a special mission from HQ to cross the Fritz lines and retrieve as much as they can from a deserted trench.

After they have been seen by the enemy, they have no choice but to stay where they are in No Man's Land. With no hope, no food and no way of getting back, they have nothing more to do than to talk of home and this bloody war.

That is until Shuang, a member of the CLC [Chinese Labour Corps]is stranded with them.

As paranoia and distrust descends with the darkness the enemy within is revealed.

'Truly enlightening and pulls no punches.'
