Description
Award-winning writer, rapper and beatboxer Testament brings his electrifying new show to the stage, a powerful blend of spoken word, hip hop, beatboxing, song and theatre.
Through the interwoven voices of the broken lives circling a small church community, we explore what identity and connection means in 21st-century Britain.
When bridges are used to divide, the world forgets we are neighbours.
Saints on a Bridge brings to life the inner worlds of a youth worker, a church warden, a teenage boy, a police officer and a long-suffering vicar, all drawn together by a single event that brings their faith and fellowship to the brink.
Stories collide in a raw, funny and deeply human reflection on race, faith and community…and what happens when silence can no longer hold.
Funny, raw and deeply human, this show by acclaimed director Jamie Sophia Fletcher takes Testament’s signature fusion of rhythm and drama, turning everyday speech into poetry and power, as we search for something to bring us together.
