But it\u2019s all ok because something is watching over them.

A 1954 Sunbeam Talbot Mark II. Dad had ideas that he and Matt would do it up, repair, rebuild together.<\/p>\n<p>Now in their 30\u2019s, Matt would like to learn how to fix a car engine. Matt can\u2019t do this alone, which is tricky for a solo show.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Matt\u2019s drag alter-ego Natalie Spanner comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Matt and Natalie will try to ask, in an increasingly broken world, how might we repair ourselves, together?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bus Stop Goths<\/strong>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Saturday 25 April, 7:30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy meets punk with a Teesside twist.<\/p>\n<p>A joyfully chaotic celebration of youth expression and identity.<\/p>\n<p>Join celestial beings Sid and Viv as they keep a watchful eye on the streets of Middlesbrough.
