A fantastic summer season of performances and films from The Northern School of Art’s Stage and Screen faculty is coming up over the next few weeks. All of the shows are Pay What You Decide so audiences don’t pay a penny until after the show to help make art to be accessible for all.

• Conspire with the Monkey, Lie with the Monkey – Thursday 5 May 7pm, The Northern School of Art Theatre, Church Square, Hartlepool

The Northern School of Art’s MA Directing and Performance Practice students present an absurdist comedy that takes place in the office of the “Hit” magazine Chit Chat Weekly. As the hunt for an Adam Woodyatt interview causes mass hysteria, there is surveillance, subterfuge … and a stolen sandwich.
