Next Swan Down The River Might Be Black
by Sean Burn
Thursday March 1st
Tickets £8 (concessions £6)
Performance starts at 7.30pm
A poetic and personal response to being detained under the mental health act, following the authors own 'sectioning'. witness the shifting alliances of three young women on a psychiatric ward over one momentous week. Cerys, 19, black and depressive, Kay, 26, white and bipolar and Zee - a pakistani british student nurse and former service user are all fighting a faceless institution in their own way. The play examines diversity, friendships, sexualities and power at a time of rising uncertainties. Can they summon courage to live through it all? This hauntingly lyrical play has a fragile hopefulness at its core and has just been short-listed for the alfred bradley bursary award with the BBC.

Hyndburn Women's Forum is a community group set up to organise events to celebrate and recognise International Women's Day. Each year the forum is told that it has a place in Hyndburn's community but each year it is harder to get groups to participate or be involved in the forum itself (everyone seems happy enough for the forum to co-ordinate events without actually supporting it with their presence at meetings and sessions). Without help this forum will cease to be after this year so please take the time to come along and participate in what is sure to be a lively discussion.
