The Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy of multi award-winning shows that includes Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.

A story of strikes, dinner ladies and commies. Crap beer, great beer, burgers and burger slingers. Pickets, placards, friendship, love, history, dreams and above all remembering.

Mark returns to where he first performed, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate its 50th birthday. Part theatre, stand up, journalism, activism, it's the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community.

Winner of The Stage Special Award 2016 & Scotsman Fringe First winner 2016.

'The show will leave even the most laissez-faire Thatcherite Tory with food for thought and a reminder as to how deep the scars of that era run'
★★★★ The Telegraph

In association with West Yorkshire Playhouse.
