Roadside Returns To Trinity

Trinity looks forward to welcoming back Maddie Wakeling, actor, theatre maker and community theatre facilitator, for the Roadside theatre show on March 28th & 30th. We started supporting Maddie in late 2023 with the first iteration of her theatrical show Roadside, a unique and flowing one man show centring on the experiences of Milly, a young woman’s life on the road.

The support followed after Art of Resistance, a three-year programme celebrating creative expressions of activism funded by HLF came to a close. Keen to continue supporting artistic work focusing on the strands within the programme such as counterculture, we gladly supported Maddie on the development of Roadside.

We interviewed Maddie last summer to ascertain how the partnership had helped her develop the work.

“Trinity's support gave us time and space to make the show happen! The recording spaces increased the quality of the voiceovers used in the show and we reached new audiences through their promotion. Trinity is a venue rooted in community and so is our show, so it felt like a really good collaboration.” Maddie Wakeling

Previous audience feedback

"A very poignant coming of age story. Very poetic and engaging on so many levels. The staging and sound were excellent."

"So beautiful it really resonated with me. I have so many mates who need to see this!"

"I’ve never found a play that has my life in it before! It's so amazing to see! You have to keep doing this. I grew up in a truck and came to see the show in London because my mate in Bristol told me it was amazing. I have so many more friends who need to see this!"
