[b:3tpzdn81]WILL YOU BE IN EDINBURGH THIS AUGUST?
See a new dance theatre production by Chickenshed that explores the effects of a cancer diagnosis on a family.[/b:3tpzdn81]

[i:3tpzdn81]Slender Threads[/i:3tpzdn81] depicts the experience of an ‘everywoman’, a wife and mother, to explore what cancer and its treatment does to the love, lives and relationships of the woman, her husband and her daughter. The family are joined on stage by dancers portraying the inner thoughts of those affected, mirroring and magnifying the words and emotions expressed. The bold, stylish and engaging production comprising real-life interviews, an original soundtrack and innovative multimedia, offers a transformative and life-affirming perspective on living with cancer.
