Guardian Mem Morrison requests the pleasure of your company at the Signet Library. Take a front row seat, join the family and meet the many potential brides at his long overdue wedding reception. Ringside draws on a lifetime of remembered Turkish Cypriot family weddings, and tests traditional values by breaking the silence and changing history forever.
Ringside is part written, devised and performed with a group of 30 local female performers of different ages and nationalities who play the roles of Mem's potential wives and wedding guests. Audience members are required to wear headphones as the celebration and rituals of remembered wedding receptions are used to explore issues surrounding autobiography,
identity, sexuality, memory, culture, self-censorship and childhood fantasies... and how they so easily could have become a reality.
