Performer and co-writer Clara Darcy told the Chronicle: “Although this is a show with a really serious subject matter that makes you confront quite dark, deep and difficult things about life and possibly even your own existence, more importantly it is a celebration of the brilliant nuances of being alive and actually what a gift it is to have a dance with death that brings you to that realisation.”

Speaking about the production, Chris Lawson, Artistic Director, Oldham Coliseum says the story is an inspirational one:  “It raises important questions about to which extent we appreciate our health and our lives. I’m so proud that the Coliseum is bringing it to the stage so that she can share it with audiences here in Oldham and across the North.

We Should Definitely Have More Dancing is also the first show the Coliseum has taken to Edinburgh Fringe and I’m equally thrilled and proud that this show, with this talented cast and creative team, is making our Edinburgh debut”.
