AN AUDIO-based arts experience will see audience members lying on hospital beds listening to the story of a young woman with a rare brain infection.

Autobiographical performance, Reassembled, Slightly Askew, follows Shannon Yee’s near-death experience of failing critically ill, being in a coma, having brain surgeries and her road to recovery.

The 90-minute experience will be presented as part of Jabberwocky Market’s spring season of theatre events being hosted in Darlington, starting this week.

The town centre’s Feethams leisure complex will be the stage for Reassembled, Slightly Askew, from Thursday, March 2, until Saturday, March 4.

Simon Hawkins, development director at Urban and Civic – the property development company behind the Feethams complex – said: “Here at Feethams it is really important to us to support local groups and organisations in the area, so it is a real pleasure to be able to play host to Darlington-based producers, Luxi and Jabberwocky Market event.

“Reassembled, Slightly Askew is a truly inspiring performance about a Belfast-based play-writer’s near-death experience, so we are expecting it to be a big hit with our shoppers.”

Producer of Jabberwocky Market, Caroline Pearce added: “I am thrilled that Jabberwocky Market and Feethams have been able to team up to bring a really intense pop-up and exciting theatre experience into one of their units.

“It is such a lovely space and we’re extremely excited to meet new audiences who might not have come across our local events before.

“Reassembled, Slightly Askew provides a fantastic launch for our eighth season of events in Darlington and we hope everyone enjoys the story of Shannon Yee.”
