Let Me Count the Ways at Waterside

Creative Tourist
Let Me Count the Ways at Waterside

Let Me Count the Ways at Waterside, Manchester 17 September 2022 Tickets from £8.00 — Book now

Initially inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnet 43, Let Me Count the Ways is a spoken word solo show by Maz Hedgehog exploring love, care and intimacy.

Reflecting on the way we are shaped by our interactions and our communities, Maz Hedgehog shines a light on their own life and the experiences of other Black queer women.

Set in a messy bedroom, Let Me Count the Ways is a thought-provoking solo show about isolation and connection; intimacy and indifference, and the healing (and hindering) effect of relationships on our mental health.
