Middle Child have been awarded a £92,079 Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant (Touring Projects Strand) for our 2025 production, Biting Point.
Written by Sid Sagar and directed by Paul Smith, Biting Point will premiere at the Fruit Market Multi-Storey car park in Hull, before touring to towns across the north of England.
Biting Point is a story that asks big questions about race, class and privilege. It is about the people in our community and how the constant pressure we’re all under can shape us into people we don’t want to be.
All this will be told in Middle Child’s unique style, taking high-quality, bold new writing and placing audiences at the heart of the experience.
Biting Point is commissioned by Middle Child and funded by Arts Council England, Hull City Council, Garfield Weston and The Sylvia Waddilove Foundation, with support from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Wykeland and Hull Truck Theatre.
Biting Point was originally developed as part of a placement at the Hampstead Theatre, with the support of Davina Moss, Tessa Walker, Jennifer Davis and Roy Williams. The R&D was supported by the National Theatre’s Generate Programme and Blueprint: Without Walls R&D Investment Fund.
