Lady in Red Visits Artz Centre
The Artz Centre'The arts play a vital role in how we work, live, learn and play. Lady in Red was seeking to educate people on the dangers and nuances of this murky topic and it certainly did that for me. As much as we like to tell fantasy stories with big elaborate sets, colourful costumes and happy endings, it’s important that we also tell the real stories about life too. The play was cleverly written and extremely well performed; I also enjoyed gaining a slightly deeper insight in the Q & A session'
