IF YOU have ever wondered if you've missed your chance to be wild, then Feral is for you. Lancaster's Dukes Theatre is to premier the show featuring live music, storytelling and the odd party trick, tomorrow (Friday, 7.30pm).

Sonya Moorhead has created and will perform Feral which was inspired by her hitch-hiking mission to Oban to find 60s folk legend and notorious wild child, Anne Briggs.

Sonya is a singer, director and writer who found herself drowning in domesticity, feeling like a feral beast backed into a corner. The play questions why women are taking on more 'mental load' than ever before and includes live music by folk trio, The Greyhounds, drawing upon Anne Briggs' 60s recordings of ballads.

The play will be performed in The Round.

Box office 01524-598500.

Tickets £13.50; concessions £11.50.
