Bookmarked: Batty! at Thirsk & Sowerby Town Hall
Saturday, October 10, 2026
Time: 7.30pm
Duration: 65 minutes
Venue: Thirsk Town Hall
Have you got a wild side?
Batty has, she dreams of running barefoot, wild swimming, of talking trees, strange animals and the scent of the seasons turning. In fact she’s starting to wonder if she might be a witch…
Join Batty and her companion Wildthing for gossip, gay abandon, exquisite tenderness and raucous stories (with a side order of ranting), as they explore the magic and power of ageing.
This new production from Victoria Firth & Company explores the wildness – as opposed to madness – of women, and how our feral side can reconnect us to ourselves and our environment.
Suitable for age 14+
