About
A captivating evening that celebrates Barrow.
A FREE event performed script-in-hand by a community cast, featuring the work of our Community Writing Group.
Terrific Tales featured talking seagulls, the queue for pies at Greens’, the tranquillity of Roanhead Beach, pubs with sticky floors, the 2010 Barrow vs Stevenage game at Wembley and memories of the Public Hall.
This is the second year of Terrific Tales - here’s what the public said last time . . .
I found everything so well performed, nicely spaced out and hilarious in parts, but also so touching.
Performed at Theatre Factory on Friday 21 March 2025
