KATIE ARNSTEIN – Homebird

Our sublime Festival Associate Artist, Katie Arnstein, is back for a second performance of our 2024 Festival commission, Homebird. 

Homebird is a story about where you belong. About finding your place in the ever-changing world. It’s about keeping your head above water, even when the sea levels are rising.  Above all, it’s a story about knowing you’re home – performed by someone from Lichfield, in Lichfield, for the people of Lichfield… you will laugh, you will cry – and you will never look at Lichfield Trent Valley station in quite the same way ever again!

Katie Arnstein is a writer and performer from Lichfield. Her work includes the multi-award-winning storytelling trilogy It’s a Girl! which consists of Bicycles and Fish, Sexy Lamp and Sticky Door, awarded Show of the Week at VAULT Festival twice, Pleasance Pick of VAULT, an Offie Commendation for a short run and shortlisted for both The Popcorn Prize and The Evening Standard’s Future of Theatre Award. The Long Run was nominated for an Offie Award for Best Performance Piece and Show of the Week at VAULT. Katie’s first television commission, Wolverine Woman premiered on BBC Three in October 2023.
