Luton.Events

In a world where we’re constantly being apologised to (and not just being British and bumbling sorrys like Hugh Grant) Unlikely Productions bring a new piece, The Apologists, to The Hat Factory.


The Apologists is made up of three short plays, which between them look at the art of, expectations aligned with, and limitations of a public apology – especially when coming from a high profile woman. Performed by Australian actor Gabrielle Scawthorn, the spotlight is on our obsession for words – whether empty, truthful or even justified.


Written by Lucinda Burnett (Correspondence), Cordelia O’Neill (No Place for a Woman) and Iskandar Sharazuddin (The Lift of Cardboard) and performed by acclaimed Australian actor Gabrielle Scawthorn (The Doctor Blake Mysteries, The Killing Fields, Village Bike).


Age Guidance: 16+

Running Time: 70 minutes (no interval)

The Hat Factory

The Hat Factory is Luton's leading arts and entertainment venue featuring live music, club nights, theatre, dance, films, children's activities, workshops, classes and gallery exhibitions.

It's a centre of artistic excellence set within a vibrant urban environment. It offers the young and the young at heart the chance to engage with the arts, to be inspired by the UK’s leading arts practitioners, and to develop artistic skills and confidence.

The Hat Factory is a combined arts venue in the centre of Luton. It opened in 2003 and since then has been the area’s main provider of contemporary theatre, dance and music. We work with both emerging and proven producers and artists, through programming, engagement programmes and our Associate Artist scheme. Their music programming is vibrant, offering an eclectic portfolio of high quality artists from the worlds of jazz, blues, folk, world music, indie and hip hop. Complementing their own programming, they welcome local/regional promoters to the venue, broadening their music offer and at the same time supporting young promoters and their businesses. They programme contemporary theatre and dance with a focus on fresh, new and relevant stories from both established and emerging touring companies who are making high quality work in the UK. They’ve programmed companies like Earthfall, Chickenshed, New International Encounter (NIE), Trestle, Menagerie, Eastern Angles, Atma, State of Emergency, 30 Bird, Tavaziva, Analogue and Jean Abreu Dance to name but a few.
