It is that time of year when various artists – local, national and international – are all preparing to head to the Edinburgh Fringe. It also means there are opportunities to get sneak previews of some of the shows that will be entertaining thousands of visitors in the Scottish capital next month.
Among those travelling north to the Fringe is Wakefield-based theatre maker Natalie Bellingham who will be previewing her new solo show at Yorkshire venues, including Leeds Playhouse, in the coming weeks. Look After Your Knees, as the title suggests, takes a humorous look at the ups and downs of growing older but also explores themes around making connections, loss, facing and accepting change, looking to the future and letting go of the past.
I thought at first it was about my mum – she died in January 2020 – but gradually it became clear that it was more about me and who I am now. I had a very complicated relationship with my mum. She was quite a dominant presence in my life and I realized that she was a big part of how I navigated the world, myself and everything. When that is taken away, you can feel a bit lost. I was very sad when she died but also, I didn’t know what to do with all the space and time she left behind.
