Playing Up

For 3 months writers Kate Davies and Ann Wilson worked with young people aged 9-18 all around Barrow. Their brief was to get young people writing for the stage, and the results were fantastic, showing yet again what amazing creativity and imagination resides in the Borough.

A selection of the plays were performed by members of the Apprenticed Actors Company and members of Barrow Senior Youth Theatre at The Forum on Friday 12th December 2008.
