Liz Richardson: Local

A show about home, belonging or not, and letting go.

Solo storyteller Liz revisits her childhood memories and home in rural Cumbria in an attempt to understand whether she still belongs there or ever did.

In this multi-generational piece, Liz takes the audience on a journey through the landscape and environment of her home, spanning the decades from the early 1990s to today, as she reconnects with voices from the past and her young growing family now, and confronts head-on her devastating fear of loss…

In a solo performance that takes us from laughter to tears and back again, Local asks what it means to be ‘local’ to a place, whether you were born there or not – and, crucially, how do we each find our own sense of belonging?
