The Show - the entertainment! The first part of the evening is an opportunity to get to know the artists, experience their individual virtuosity, and laugh at, or contemplate, their sometimes hilarious interpretations of all things woolly. There is a short interval followed by the performance of Hat:
Part 1 recounts a story of peril and rescue as told by
father to son, inspired by an old photograph stored in a biscuit
tin. You are invited to knit during the performance. "brilliant flashes of
individual inspiration - for sheer originality you have to take
your hat off to them. Try and catch the final performance of
this uncompromising one-off." Guardian
