‘I baptise you as Tuesday, he said, because I found you on a Tuesday – from now on, the most beautiful day of the week.’
Tuesday’s an old man now, nearer the end than the beginning. As he looks back on his life, which began when he was abandoned in a church by his mother, we travel with him through time – into his memories, his dreams and the moments that shaped the person he became.
Tuesday was created by Studio ORKA, a hugely acclaimed collective who make captivating, poetic and site-specific theatre for children and adults. Beautifully staged in a Grade I listed Victorian church, Tuesday, a magical and moving show about the people, places and experiences that make our journey through life unique.
Commissioned by Manchester International Festival, hetpaleis, Antwerp and Theater Antigone, Kortrijk. Supported by The Flemish Authorities, the City of Ghent and Tax Shelter Belgium. Produced by Manchester International Festival and Studio ORKA.

MIF #Studio Orka exquisite “do not miss” production of Tuesday that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. The most special theatre experience of my life surpassing Marina Abramovich at the Lowry and King Lear (Robert Stephens)
