Women & Theatre are using crowdfunding website Angel Shares to raise money for Underrated – Birmingham The Musical, which will be:

a multi-voiced theatrical extravaganza celebrating the best bits of Brum through the eyes of its young people. We are interested in exploring their Birmingham; the Birmingham they want to shout about; beyond The Bullring and the Balti Triangle, what the City means to them. What is the Birmingham they would like to see? What are their aspirations for their city, and who should they tell? Underrated will provide a platform for their voices.

So if this comes off then we’ll have have two musicals, what with this and Wallop Mrs Cox.

Women and Theatre in association with mac, present The Palace of Wasted Dreams, which opens on 3 February at mac.

The show is a culmination of a two year project, Wasted, which explores womens relationship with alcohol through participatory musical theatre.

Get a skinful of intoxicating, interactive theatre as mac’s new theatre space transforms into The Palace of Wasted Dreams; a place where anything can happen, and something always does; a place that can take you out of yourself, where you can feel alive and get involved, with all the thrills of a great night out!

With a cast of 25 community  performers, along with professional faces, including Janice Connolly (aka Barbara Nice), the show features original songs, accompanied by an eclectic House Band, laced together with stories told from the bottom of a glass.

The Palace of Wasted Dreams is on at mac from 3 – 5 Feb and 9 – 12 Feb. To book tickets call mac on 0121 446 3232 or book online.
