To coincide with our upcoming production of Matt Haig’s bestseller Reasons to Stay Alive with English Touring Theatre, we're excited to announce a free event, which will see Matt Haig in conversation with comedian Susan Calman on Thursday 19 September!

Reflecting on the ways the arts give us ‘reasons to stay alive’, this special event will draw from great songs, seminal books, groundbreaking theatre and legendary comedy, and celebrate the art that has kept people going in their darkest hours.

This special event comes as part of the wraparound events for the Sheffield Theatres and English Touring Theatre Production of Reasons to Stay Alive, with text by April De Angelis. At 24, Matt’s world collapsed under the weight of depression. This is a true story of his journey out of crisis; a profoundly uplifting exploration of living and loving better. Imagined for the stage, and directed by Jonathan Watkins.
