Trinity

“in the night-time, when they’re empty, buildings come alive to tell their stories”

Tom Nicholas’ new play summons up the spirits whose stories fill the building, and invites the audience to explore the spaces as the past comes out of the woodwork to meet them.

Based on research, conversation and historical events and infused with theatrical magic, TRINITY explores the building through the eyes of the people who have worked and played here.  In particular, the young people at formative times in their lives, whose experiences in the building spin a continuous thread in its history.

Dedicated just under a year before the start of the Great War 1914-18, Trinity Hall was used by the army in the first World War and withstood the German bombing of the second World War.

Subsequently it has been the venue for many other conflicts, on the small, human scale, from teenage lovers, to the warring Mods and Rockers, Boxing and Roller Skating and in more recent times the dramatic conflicts of theatrical performance. 

Join the Cygnet Company and a Community cast drawn from across the city on an exciting journey through time as you explore the whole Cygnet building and experience the secret history of the old Trinity Hall.
