Imagine… The Beatles // 15 Oct

Amy Mason: Mass // 22 Oct
When the bus
Amy Mason
was travelling
on ran two
people over she
found herself
praying for the
first time in
years. The
experience led
her to think
about life, faith,
and the way we
deal with
tragedy in an
increasingly
secular society.
Told using the
structure of a
Roman Catholic
mass, Amy explores her own Catholic upbringing, her rejection of faith, and
asks questions about religious experience and the value of religious ritual.
A funny, moving autobiographical solo show for those of us who aren’t
quite sure how we feel about God.
7.30pm. Price: £10
