Don’t miss Next To Normal coming to Hartlepool this August, a rare opportunity to see our alumni perform locally! The Director, Jacob Bennetthogg, and the majority of the cast; Chloe Richardson, Joe Morton, Georgie Rose and Toby Davidson are all Crash Bang Wallop Alumni and are in professional training at London’s top Drama Schools. The cast is completed by Max Penfold and Michael Reeve.
Next To Normal explores the impact that mental illness and grief can have on a family. Through this powerful interpretation, the cast brings to life the true reality of situations that families can suddenly find themselves in. You’re bound to be moved by this incredible piece of theatre.
This production is being performed at CECA (Centre for Excellence in Creative Arts) in Hartlepool on 14 and 15 August, both performances beginning at 7.30 pm. Tickets are priced between £14 and £16, with all proceeds going to The Headlight Project.

All profits made from Next To Normal will be donated to the Headlight Project. Additionally, at the venue, there will be information stands and chances to speak with the charity if our audience has any questions or would like to know more information.
