CANCELLED – Nikesh Shukla at The Lowry
Creative Tourist
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, this event has been cancelled. Words Weekend Artistic Director Beth Gallimore’s statement reads:
‘It is with huge sadness that we have taken the decision to cancel Words Weekend at The Lowry following the escalation of COVID-19 in Europe. Although this is an incredibly difficult decision, the health of authors and audiences must be the priority.
The cancellation of London Book Fair was an early indicator of the impact COVID-19 would have on our industry, and given the fast-changing nature of the situation, we feel we must act quickly and decisively.
All ticket holders will be contacted directly by the venue.
We will be pressing ahead with our plans for Bury St Edmunds in May, our spring 2021 festival at Sage Gateshead, and hope to plan another festival at The Lowry in the future.’
Join writer Nikesh Shukla for an intimate autobiographical performance where he invites the audience to reflect on food family, memories and grief. New show Salt in the Sugar Jar takes us back to his family kitchen in a north London suburb where he reflects on his mother and talks about how he set out on a quest to cook as well as her when she died, food becoming the best way to remember her. Co-commissioned by MAYK and Theatre Bristol.
