Crossed Keys opens next week!

Crossed Keys - a new half-hour play from Eastern Angles Theatre Company.

Eastern Angles' 2011 Platform Peterborough season kicks off with a tour of a new play by Greg Lyons. Entitled Crossed Keys this thirty-minute drama is a short sharp insight into life in multi-cultural Peterborough.

Directed by Kate Budgen, Associate Director at Pentabus Theatre Company, Crossed Keys opens on September 28^th at the Brewery Tap pub in the heart of Peterborough's city centre. The city tour continues for the next three-and-a-half weeks taking in community spaces, schools, colleges, workplaces, churches and Peterborough's beautiful cathedral.

Crossed Keys is a love story against all odds. It highlights the cultural tensions experienced by Shahruk, a young Muslim woman torn between the expectations of a bullying uncle and her desire to pursue a fulfilling career as an architect. Shahruk is taken on trip down memory lane by her young husband Hussein. Following a chance encounter with Michael, an old Irish road worker, the couple become embroiled in a conversation with Hussein's former colleague that turns out to be both poignant, comical and ultimately illuminating.

Crossed Keys tours Peterborough until Saturday 22nd October.
