Theatre play 'Lilith: The Other Side of the Story' at The Carriageworks Theatre in Leeds.
Lilith: The Other Side of the Story comes to The Carriageworks Theatre on Friday 20 November, a theatre show built around the figure of Lilith. If you're not familiar with the name, she's the one who comes before Eve in the older traditions—the first woman, the one who refused to be second and walked away from Eden. The title gives it away: this is about the other side of the story, the version that doesn't usually make the cut in the more well-known retellings.
It's a play that takes a character usually relegated to the margins and puts her centre stage. The focus is on Lilith herself, her choices and the fallout from them, rather than the version of her that appears as a footnote in someone else's narrative. It's that shift in perspective that drives the whole thing—taking a figure who's spent a long time as a ghost in the background and giving her the lead.
It's playing at The Carriageworks Theatre in Leeds, so it's right in the city for a Friday night. If you've been following the theatre scene here, you'll know the venue, and if not, it's a good spot for a night out in the city centre. The show runs on Friday 20 November, so it's a proper weekend-starter rather than a mid-week booking.
