Play, Pause, Repeat is a stunning programme showcasing some of the best, emerging dancers from the North East of England.

In The Messiest Drawer, we find clutter, tangles, precious knick-knacks - all the things we hang on to and the many stories that tell us why and how. As we unpack, rediscover, and reposition, memories bubble up and move us in many ways: from getting stuck in a moment to holding them dear to our heart.

This is a seated event.

Seated shows
We have three main seated layouts for shows;

  1. floor seating with or without cabaret tables on floor level only [up to 100 capacity], or

  2. seating rake only [up to 119 capacity], or 

  3. both seating rake with floor seating in front (in rows, or with or without cabaret tables) [up to 200 capacity].​

​

Every seat on floor level and the first row on our seating rake is accessible to those who require a wheelchair space, an ambulant seat, or those who don’t have any access requirements. Thus, they will be bookable under the same ticket type and unreserved. When buying your tickets, we ask you to declare if you have any access requirements at the checkout so we can reserve any seats or space for those who need them.

These events tend to be theatre or dance performances performed on floor level or film screenings. The front row of our seating rake can be made into wheelchair spaces (up to 2) or ambulant seats (up to 4).
