The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company presents: 

What am I like?!


Wednesday 20th November, 2pm (running time approx. 1hr)


Main Hall, St James’s United Reformed Church

Northumberland Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8JF


Join performers from The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company for an intricate movement piece, What Am I Like!? - a heartwarming journey of romance and self-discovery.


Follow a group of strangers as they explore their unique identities through a series of fun and lively moments. From the fun of the fairground, and the glitz of the catwalk, to the thrill of a party and the lure of holidays, each chapter is framed by questions and is filled with laughter and heartfelt moments. As they share their stories and discover new things about themselves, they realise that their differences bring them closer together, making their bonds even stronger.


Set against a backdrop of sing-along hits, What Am I Like!? promises to entertain with a mix of humour, lively performances, and an inspiring message about romance, diversity and acceptance.


Created and performed by artists with learning disabilities and autistic artists.


Tickets: £6 (carers free)
