SCISSORS

Three theatres, three plays, ONE cast – all at the same time!

In this theatrical first, the same cast perform in the Crucible, Lyceum and Studio simultaneously. Dashing between scenes, when a character exits one stage, they arrive on another. Individual, and interwoven, you can enjoy each on their own. But see them all and be part of the biggest theatre event of the year.

When the owner a Sheffield scissor manufacturers dies, three generations begin feuding over what happens to the factory site. Transform it into a fashionable music venue, redevelop into luxury office space, or continue as it is, hoping the old business might somehow become profitable again? It’s more than bricks and mortar, more than ownership, it’s about knowing where you fit in the world – knowing that there’s still a place for you.

From Chris Bush, the writer of Standing at the Sky’s Edge, ROCK / PAPER / SCISSORS are three fresh, funny and heartfelt looks at family, heritage and legacy.

Why not see the other side of the story and book for PAPER in the Lyceum and ROCK in the Crucible.
