Part of - Make Hope Possible 
A Little Weekend For Big Ideas 
Fri 1 Jul – Sun 3 Jul 

“To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.”  Raymond Williams 

Over the course of one radical weekend, Live Theatre becomes a centre for new ideas about society and how it can be reshaped to make the world better, brighter and kinder. We bring together writers, thinkers and makers to explore, playfully and seriously, how we can make big changes that bring back hope to the world.
