Masque Theatre - ROAD - Tue 20th-26th May 2025

for 4 days, 2 hours
Church Of The Holy Sepulchre
Sheep Street/Church Lane Northampton, NN1 3NL, United Kingdom

Step into the raw, unfiltered world of Jim Cartwright’s seminal play ‘Road’ – a powerful, poignant, and darkly humorous play that captures the essence of life in a working-class Northern town during the 1980s.

It takes you on a nocturnal journey along the cobbled street of an unnamed northern road in Thatcher’s Britain. ‘Road’ is a masterclass in storytelling, offering a gritty yet heartfelt portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people. It’s a play that resonates with anyone who has ever faced hardship and found hope in the most unexpected places.

Despite being set in the 1980s, the themes of ‘Road’ – resilience, community, and the search for meaning – are timeless and universal. This play speaks to the heart of human experience, making it as relevant today as it was when it was first written.

Join us for an evening of compelling theatre, vivid characters and an aural trip down memory lane that will leave you moved and inspired.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary play.

Church Of The Holy Sepulchre

Holy Sepulchre has been welcoming worshippers and visitors in Northampton since 1100AD.

While we love our building we recognize that the church community is more than a building and our services, events, and groups all aim to bring people together.

As a registered Inclusive Church we welcome all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, mental or physical abilities, or financial or social status. We fully support the ministry of women as deacons, priests, and bishops.

Services are usually followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in the adjacent Community Room.

We also know that attending a church for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking and daunting too. For this reason we have a community manager whose job it is to answer any of your questions, meet you before service, escort you into the building, introduce you to others and walk you through how we worship here. We want you to feel cared for here and not allow nerves or worries to get in the way of your worship. Just e-mail [email protected] and we can start chatting.

Similarly, if you want to attend but getting here is a challenge, e-mail as we might be able to help.
