“Leaving here I am feeling heart warmed and overjoyed. I found a space surrounded by what I love.”
-Audience member

A Black Cab Company production

Where do you feel safe?
Is it calm there? Are you alone?
What does it mean to be lonely when you’re surrounded by people?

For centuries, Sutton House has been a sanctuary for outsiders. In this new site-specific production, our Black Cab Company of learning disabled and autistic artists invite you to wander with strangers, and seek your moment of refuge.

Journeying through this historic house, explore how we, and others, have shaped what ‘sanctuary’ means to us.
