StoneCrabs Theatre presents
Labels
a worklight production
by Joe Sellman-Leava
directed by Katharinha Reinthaller.
Join us on an unforgettable journey through Joe’s upbringing in ’90s Devon, juxtaposed with his father’s migration from Uganda to Cheltenham in the ’70s. Dive into a tale that deftly navigates political shifts, the global refugee crisis, and everyday life in multicultural Britain, all brought to life through comedy, storytelling, and powerful spoken word performances.
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of paper planes, awkward romance, and a humorous exploration of identity through sticky labels!
“Labels spark meaningful conversations that resonate long after the curtains close.”
