What brings them together in a room at the Queens Hotel?Part mystery, part romance, this tender-hearted thriller follows the two on a trail through Leeds from the bright lights of Briggate to the birds of Hyde Park. Magpie Park was first performed at West Yorkshire Playhouse as part of the Northern Exposure Festival.
