Middle Child Theatre Company

Terry’s having a bad week. He’s lost his job, his girlfriend is off to Uni in London and he’s just killed his dealer’s cat.

What happens when the world starts to fall away?
What happens when our rocks start to fail us?
What do we do when our stars don’t guide us where we thought they would?

Then, it’s time to become Rockstars.

Billed as a concept album for the stage, Middle Child’s ‘Weekend Rockstars’ swaps intervals for dance breaks, scenes for tracks and props for projection as it tells the story of Terry’s week from hell through theatre, film, songs and a live band on stage. Written by the award winning Luke Barnes and with James Frewer’s original compositions underscoring throughout, this production speaks of a life desperate to belong yet still longing for more. Made in the North and proud of it, ‘Weekend Rockstars’ is honest, energetic and unapologetic for its portrayal.

The second half of the night sees a very special guest band play a one-off gig for Sunderland Stages in the atmospheric setting of North Shore, topping off a brilliant evening of live music and theatre.
