Prepare to become a part of an interactive experience that explores some of the complex issues around mental health in the workplace and our attitudes and reactions towards it. Forum Theatre invites audiences to leave the comfortable certainty of their seats to observe, interact and discuss taboos around our and others' mental health. Tickets are available here.

For the inaugural exhibition, artist collective Stair/Slide/Space will be investigating the very particular and peculiar set of circumstances that make up this new art space. Join them this Friday from 6.30pm for the launch! Find out more.
