The stage is yours

Wed 6, Thu 7 & Fri 8 November, 7.30pm.EGO Arts Venue, The Old Grammar School, Hales St, Coventry, CV1 1JD.45 mins (approx).Recommended for ages 12+. “Politicians are like the parents of the nation. They’re hypocrites with a capital H.” As if Charlie’s politics exams aren’t gruelling enough. Life at home is a political nightmare… Trying to find her way in the world while caught between the childish rivalries of her divorced parents, Charlie is desperate to take control. When she decides to watch Prime Minister’s Questions to help her with her exams, the twaddle exchanged in parliament suddenly feels very close to home. “Home Affairs” is a stark look at the parallels between a broken home and a broken political system, and how coming of age can give you the courage to stand up to power. An original play brought to you by EGO Boost, our community cast aged 12 to 25. Pay What You Can: You choose to pay £5, £10 or £20 for your ticket.

We're now in a building called The Old Grammar School, a 2-minute walk from where we were before.  The Old Grammar School - which will now also be known as EGO Arts Venue - is a big building that looks like a church with a modern extension, on the corner of Hales St, Bishop St and Silver St. You can see it from the bottom of the Burges.
