Birdcatcher

Wed 20 Jan
Thu 21 Jan
A Pentabus production in association with Papatango Theatre Company and Middle Child Theatre. 
A new play by Laura Waldren
Directed by Elle While 
 Birdcatcher is a darkly comic drama about a teenage girl navigating life inside a doomsday cult. Set in East Yorkshire, the play shines a light on the murky, repressive underworld of religious “high control groups” in the UK – and asks how you find yourself in a world you think is about to end.

Pentabus is the Nation’s Rural Theatre. 

This inaugural production is directed by BAFTA winning Artistic Director Elle While (Mother Courage, Richard III Shakespeare’s Globe) and written by rising star and award-winning playwright Laura Waldren, whose first play Some Demon won the 2023 Papatango Prize.
