You Left Me in the Dark is a piece of new writing inspired by Chekhov’s The Seagull that explores the themes of abandonment and devotion. Spun Glass Theatre’s intimate improvisational style creates a fresh theatre event for a teenage to adult audience. The music of Florence + the Machine reflects the passionate nature of the characters’ love affair with each other and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

How it works:
- Order a reward by clicking on one of the reward images on the right hand side of the page. At this point you will authorise Culturelabel.com to deduct the funds relating to the reward you chose.
- If this project does not reach its funding goal in its funding period, your card will not be billed and your order will be cancelled.
- If the project is successful, your card will be billed and you will receive your reward.
Where possible, if the project reaches its funding goal you should receive your reward promptly after the end of the funding period. However, please be aware that owing to the nature of this project, those rewards associated with the artwork itself cannot be dispatched until the artwork is complete. This may take some time following the completion of the funding period. The arts organisation running the project will be responsible for speedy dispatch of your rewards as soon as they are available, and will keep you updated on the progress of the project and timetable for dispatch of your rewards. By ordering a reward through Culture Label this indicates that you have agreed to this longer timeframe for dispatch of those rewards directly associated with an event or new artistic product. Reward images are illustrative. The rewards may look substantially different to the representations on WeDidThis.
