private collections as well as previously unseen
paintings, this is the largest exhibition of
Dame Laura Knight’s work in over 50 years. Coming

Invisible – Visible
The Play’s the Thing Theatre Company present a showcase
of films, podcasts, illustrations, and multimedia in this
exciting project.
Invisible – Visible features work created as part of a
community programme on the theme of “invisibility
in society,” which explored age, race, gender, sexual
orientation, disability, socio economic status and how our
career choices can all directly affect how society perceives
us. Why are certain people and roles not valued as much
as they should be? Why are some people ignored, isolated,
forgotten or taken for granted?
This project was made possible with Arts Council England emergency funding.
