She is accused of tax evasion, bribery, fraud, murder, smuggling drugs into the US and selling and transferring nuclear weapons. Allison is desperate to prove to you, her jury, that she is innocent. She claims to have been used by the rich and powerful men around her, that all these crimes were committed by them, she was just their alibi. What will be your verdict? Do you believe Allison?

Patricia is a movement director based in Teesside and London.  She studied MA(Hons) Theatre Studies at the University of Glasgow and trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama on MA Movement: Directing and Teaching. She is also a Movement Lecturer on BA(Hons) Musical Theatre at Leeds College of Music and an Associate Artist of Both Barrels Theatre.

My movement work is inspired through using the imagination and grounding it in the body through somatic practices influenced by yoga and contemporary dance. Her style of movement direction is informed by her yoga practice and her joy in social dancing - salsa, bachata, kizomba, ceilidh and period dances.

Jonny was born in Dunfermline, Scotland. He studied at Liverpool School of Art and The Royal College. He now lives in Southampton.

To mark the reopening of its four venues, Museums Northumberland presents a new countywide exhibition by illustrator and printmaker, Jonny Hannah, celebrating some of Northumberland’s strangest stories and most curious characters.

Northumberland Folk, which takes place across Museums Northumberland’s four sites – Woodhorn Museum, Hexham Old Gaol, Berwick Museum, and Art Gallery, and Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum – draws inspiration from the Museum Northumberland collections, the heritage buildings themselves, and hundreds of tales and contributions from the local community.

Each exhibition holds its own story and it is all told through Jonny Hannah’s paintings, prints, publications, and cut-outs, alongside objects and artifacts from the museum collections.

Northumberland Folk is now open at Woodhorn Museum, Hexham Old Gaol, Berwick Museum and Art Gallery, and Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum and runs until 31 October 2021.
