What is Threads about?
The story centres on Snip & Stitch, a small tailoring shop that acts as a meeting place and safe space for its community. As the textile industry changes, the people around the shop face questions about what holds them together and what may need to change.
The production comes from Hackney Empire’s Artist Development Programme and brings together young performers and creatives with an experienced professional team.
