Through the Front Door

A journey of dreamworlds, music hall, poetic histories, asylums and workhouses; laws of the land; hands in the earth and The Harmony Ball.

We’re all waiting for the curtain to be parted, waiting for the overture to get everything started.

Take a step… you’re invited… make yourself at home.

Come in, have a good time … show us your ticket!

OpenStoryTellers proudly present Through The Front Door, made possible with Heritage Fund.

This play shares the personal and public heritage of people with learning disabilities through the worlds we have inhabited – inside worlds as well as bricks and mortar buildings – with a lively mix of cabaret, music, theatre and storytelling.

We uncover stories and truths full of joy, music, nature and community. We also look directly at the harder truths – of sadness, loss and language.

Please note: we will sometimes be using language of the time that nowadays is used as insults and is offensive. You will see how we are telling the truth – both good and bad.
