Lemn Sissay is no stranger to Manchester, as a leading poet and performer.
Storm was developed when he was
Contact’s Writer in Residence.
Storm hit the stage in 2002 to fantastic reviews, a powerful exploration of three young peoples stories whilst living in a care home. Storm captured the dark realities of the care system with a biting and surreal sense of humour. It was a testament to survival and the power of the imagination.
