Festival season will be soon be upon us, which can mean only one thing… time to scrape the mud off your wellies and get your waterproofs on! Tribes & Tribulations takes you on a trip back to 1984, to a time before portaloos and pop-up tents when festival were really free.

Tribes and Tribulations is set against the bleak political landscape of Thatcher’s Britain and tells the story of four diverse characters, who momentarily escape the tribulations of their everyday lives and descend upon the anarchic, vibrant, multicultural madness of a free festival.

In a muddy field in deepest, darkest Wales, the tribes are gathering to exercise their right to party and four individuals embark on a unique journey, each of them searching for personal resolution with life changing results.

Substance & Shadow Theatre are fast building a reputation as a company that produces high quality, immersive theatre.

“I believe that Substance and Shadow Theatre make a valuable contribution to the arts scene in the city.”
Giverny Masso, Online Arts Editor – Expose Magazine - Duplicity
