DollyPopz Children’s Show

The Power of the Portrait is an exhibition that looks at the relevancy of portraiture in the age of the selfie and social media. Visitors can explore how they see themselves and how others see them. Using selected portraits from the collection of Northampton Museums and Art Gallery, and supported by works from the National Portrait Gallery, visitors will be encouraged to contemplate their own sense of identity, self, and place in the world. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Art Fund.

They call me Mum. Everyone calls me Mum now. Or Mummy. I had a name before. Where did that go? Inspired by true events, Katie Guicciardi’s Fox is a brutally honest and insightful exploration of new motherhood in an increasingly isolating society. A sharply observed drama that examines our complex relationship with ‘help’ – our desire to give it and the need to seek it for ourselves. This “small but perfectly formed” play (Telegraph) is “a brave, eye-opening show” (What’s On Stage). First produced at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019, Fox was praised for being “a really poignant and insightful piece” (Three Weeks) and “deep, mature, and nuanced. A must-see.” (Feminist Fringe). Directed by Offie Award nominee, Lisa Cagnacci (Associate Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough), Fox is “a compelling monologue rings relatably true to life” (Telegraph).
