Newcastle
Upon Tyne
playwright, poet and actor, Matthew Lewis Miller, will perform his first solo
show, Sticking, at Newcastle’s newest theatre space
underneath the office block on Pilgrim Street.
A
rising voice in the poetry and theatre sectors, Matthew Lewis Miller presents
Sticking, his first full length solo show to a home audience.
Matthew
says of the show “I believe there is a pressure for peoples’ lives to have
traceable, linear narratives. In reality, this is hard to live up to: life
narratives often have unexplored, unexplained gaps. With Sticking, I am interested
in finding ways into those gaps. Bringing the show to Newcastle is particularly exciting
for me as so much of my own narrative is connected to the city”
Sticking
is a poetic and rebellious story of love, fear and sex. Exploring what happens
when we question what is expected of us, and the choices we make to discover
our own identity. Sticking is directed by international theatre artist Peader
Kirk and has been developed with Contact Theatre in Manchester and New Writing North
supporting the growth of Matthew as an emerging voice.
Music
and memories collide in this poetic tour-de-force by BBC Verb New Voice Winner
As
well as the show itself audiences will be invited to submit songs to a
collective playlist, as part of participation activity, and to share memories
and experiences of music in their lives, from getting ready to party to
reflections on relationships and love. Songs collected will feature in a
special after-show party curated by Newcastle-based DJ, Mariam Rezaei.
As
a poet Matthew has performed at Nottingham Playhouse and at the Olympic Park.
As an actor, he has performed at the National Student Drama Festival and at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His play Back To Oblivion was produced at the
Nottingham New Theatre.
Matthew
has been Artist in Residence at LIVE Theatre, Newcastle.
