The Knowledge Emporium The Edge

Local community members perform with dynamic theatre company Slung Low in this original production based on the knowledge shared and gathered at The Knowledge Emporium – an old-fashioned sweet shop in a 1960s airstream caravan!

The Knowledge Emporium will be parked outside Corby Cube from Sat 30 July to Fri 5 August from 11am to 3pm. Everyone is invited to share their knowledge: a fascinat-ing fact, a family recipe, a hidden shortcut – absolutely anything. In return, you will get sweets and a chance for your own knowl-edge to feature in the fi nal performance.

What if you were on the edge of disaster and the very existence of your town was at stake? What would you do during the fi nal hours of Corby?

This new, fast paced adrenaline-fuelled play from acclaimed writer Chris O’Connell (Car, Raw, Kid), is devised in collaboration with young local performers and explores split-second, life altering moments.
