Real Stories by Real People in #Greenock 🎭
Join us THIS SATURDAY (3 & 7pm) @thebeaconarts for music, devised work and stories performed by our Beacon Arts Flames! 🔥🔥🔥
The Flames will reignite in a striking and innovative mix of film, music and performance to explore stories about life after fifty, presenting a fresh look at how we approach ageing.
The Flames is a unique performance of devised work, taking inspiration from everyday life, to challenge pre-conceived ideas of how older people think and what they aspire to.
