''There are children in Holbeck without crayons. Living in a city with an opera company. An opera company paid for with money from all of us. Until everyone has crayons no one gets opera. Thatâs what I believe.''

A deeply moving memoir of how a group of artists fed their local community during the Covid pandemic.

When crisis hits, and audiences stay home, whatâs the most useful thing a theatre company can do? The answer was to become a food bank and one-stop-help-shop for those in need. In fifteen months, Slung Low would go on to deliver over 15,000 food parcels.

Industry Reviews

'This is an amazing story of remarkable people doing their very best in an unprecedented time for the world. This book demands that we revise our ideas about what theatre companies are for, what community art can be, and what people really need to live a full and productive life. Read this and be challenged and uplifted!' Ian McMillan
