Domestic II


at Matthias Court, M3

Presented by Word of Warning + The Guinness Partnership

Thursday 24 — Saturday 26 September 2015

A one-off, never to be repeated trip around a building in transition. Intimate interactions, homely conversations and domestic dramas played out in a block of flats…

Access Information

As a sited event, Domestic II presents a number of access challenges. Audience members should be aware that Matthias Court is an active construction site and as such, is rough and ready. Please wear sensible shoes, warm layered clothing (that you are happy to get dirty) and be aware of possible rough floor and wall surfaces!

Mobility restrictions: We ask that any wheelchair user thinking of coming to Domestic II call us on 07581 299 439: Door widths vary from 65-78cm and several of the flats have a half step lip; regrettably, the 15th floor is not wheelchair accessible due to concerns of possible lift breakdown.
Audience members with mobility issues should also be aware that (in worst case scenario) they might need to walk back down the stairs. If you have any concerns, please call us on 07581 299 439 to discuss.

Age advisory: Domestic II is primarily aimed at adults and deals with autobiographical and social issues with some sensitive content. Works suitable for younger people during Saturday Daytime will be clearly signposted on the day. For specific age and access information please email info@habarts.org or call 07581 299 439.
