About This Show
Earlier this year Sarah Brigham – CEO & Artistic Director of Derby Theatre, friend to Jacksons Lane, enabler of emerging artists, tireless advocate for a more inclusive, accessible Arts world – was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. The NHS doesn’t fund treatment for the disease so a fundraising campaign, BRIG-AID, was set up to raise the initial ?60,000 needed to get Sarah her first rounds of treatment in Germany.
