​​After the success of our 2022 tour of My Place, Riding Lights Theatre Company is pleased to announce Cups on a String by Bridget Foreman, a new play touring in partnership with Transforming Lives for Good, a Christian charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future to struggling children.

​

Transforming Lives for Good is partnering with Riding Lights Theatre Company to tour Cups on a String to venues across the UK for 8 weeks in autumn 2024, offering a powerful and moving evening of theatre, and we’d like to invite you to book a performance.

 

Alongside the performance of Cups on a String, the evening will provide an opportunity to hear about the work of Transforming Lives for Good, and how each of us can play a part in supporting the lives of struggling children.

"You think I’m some kind of broken kid and you just want to fix me. With games."

Joe’s eleven and home is hard. School is even harder. He breaks stuff: pencils, chairs, rules. One thing he won’t break is his silence. 

​

Heather’s fifty-seven. She’s got a comfortable life and a comfortable home. But her comfortable world is about to be turned upside down as she and Joe spend an hour a week together. Every week. For a year.

​

Where will this journey of hours and weeks take them?

​

Cups on a String is a warm-hearted and moving new play, developed from remarkable true stories. It’s about playfulness, listening and laughter, and how risk-taking and trust can lead to growth and transformation.

​

Challenging, surprising and beautifully hopeful, Cups on a String blends theatre, live music and digital technology to take you into the heart of the friendship between Heather and Joe, and the profound impact it has on them both.
