Stitches Theatre & Performing Arts

stitches


Brand-new play Stitches comes to the Hope Theatre.

Told from the unique perspective of a teddy bear, this emotive and wistful play examines how a relationship changes the older we become, and the fight for significance. As we grow and thus become more aware of the world around us and our place in it, the need for things we cherished as a child fade away, only to be replaced by things we consider far more important. But no matter what we do or how we treat them, our childhood best friends are always there for us, especially when we need them most.

The teddy bear has always been there for Chloe, ever since he was purchased by her grandmother, adorned with a red bow, and lovingly placed in her crib. As Chloe experiences life – from her first day at nursery, to sleepovers with friends, first boyfriend, even to university – the teddy bear is there, protecting and comforting. Stitches explores the love we have for one another being tested over the course of time. Though we may feel alone in the challenges we face, the ones who truly love us will always be there until the very end, no matter how small they are.

Stitches is proud to be in conjunction with Alzheimer’s Society and the University of Stirling DSDC (Dementia Services Development Centre). As research has shown how successful the role of art can be in helping link memories, Jonathan Blakeley will be running storytelling workshops with the society to see if there are other ways that art can unlock memories and moments within themselves. Stitches is written by Jonathan Blakeley (Bard in the Yard, Will & Co; The Mousetrap, St Martin’s Lane Theatre; King Lear, National Theatre; The Exorcist UK Tour; Much Ado About Nothing/The Importance of Being Earnest, Immersion Theatre) who also performs in it.
