A completely unreliable and dubious history of Leith, written by Duncan Kidd
Jeff is a Leither, born and bred. Through his meticulous research he is sure that he is the one to tell The Story of Leith. But the appearance of the Janitors and the mysterious Manuscript forces Jeff to go on a unique journey and question what a story is and who gets to tell it.
Following on from last year's hit Made to Connect, the Active Inquiry Flashback Theatre Company presents a comedy exploring belonging, stories and multiverse travel!
Active Inquiry are a theatre company based at the Drill Hall committed to creating exciting new theatre projects with and for communities.
