Led by Haywire Theatre and a partnership with Well-Fed Ltd, their next venture focuses around raising awareness of food poverty in the Flintshire region of North Wales. Between December 2021 and March 2022 we will lead a period of research, community outreach and artistic development, ahead of a full rehearsal period later next year.
