Event 3: Maison Foo’s ‘A Thing Mislaid’ (a national touring performance). The performance will be followed by a conversation. The bar will be open and nibbles provided.

Date: Thursday 11 October, from 18:00
Location: Lincoln Drill Hall
Somewhere, on a nowhere road, just past adrift and before you reach astray, you’ll find two lost souls. Running. Running with a thing. A thing mislaid. A thing without a flock, looking for a place to belong.
