LAST DANCE SALOON

This captivating new show explores love, legacy and the future we envision for coming generations. Filled with music, dance, drama and laughter, it promises a deeply moving experience.

Two people, no longer in the first flush of youth, meet at a dance retreat in Buenos Aires. A spark is ignited. With family ties in Chile and Devon, they navigate the challenges of a long-distance relationship sustained by tango sessions in Argentina that include unexpected flights of the imagination.

Multi Story has spent twenty-four years crafting powerful narratives for intimate spaces, thriving on the close connections fostered in community venues. Their latest production features relatable characters who strive to do their best for themselves, their families and the future. It resonates particularly with the grandparent generation, contemplating their legacy, while also engaging younger audiences in conversations about the world they’re inheriting.

The performance is staged 'in the round' to replicate the atmosphere of a Tango milonga (social dance).

“The culmination of a career-long commitment to contemporary small-scale theatre: warm, engaging, and infused with a deep understanding of the theatre-maker’s craft.” - Mark Wallace, Director, Beaford Arts

"A tour de force that provokes, entertains and dazzles."

"Sensitive, funny, moving, poignantly relevant and viscerally relatable."

"I just loved it! It felt like you expressed lots of different threads about what it is to be alive and human at this time of my life, in this age. And you wove those threads into something that for me, expressed a beautiful freedom of the dance of the heart. Thank you both for creating something that could do that... it's very special."

There is limited on street parking at the venue and we recommend that you park at the Station Road car park - a short 5-10 minute walk. Wickham Hall is a wonderful venue  but is not the purpose built auditorium that we will have at Paradiso  - you may wish to bring a cushion with you on the night to improve the seat comfort!
