Stitch Up is a new theatre-in-education programme for students aged 13+, currently touring schools through until December. The half day participatory programme is based around Chris Cooper’s play Stitch Up.

Stitch Up creates opportunities for reflection, problem-solving and creative thinking, cultivating innovative approaches to teaching and learning in the classroom.

The play itself is about the alien and alienated, the individual and the community, freedom and necessity. The follow up to Chris Cooper’s Dereliction, it is part of a series of plays about young people on the margins of society.

As the centre of Big Brum‘s theatre-in-education programme, the work celebrates the UN Year of Youth and the EU Year of Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
