'If there's something stirring in
new theatre from the North of England, then the Ashton Group
from Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria must be one of the more
exciting elements in that change'. The Scotsman
'. . . had the audience spellbound.
. . a beautiful work of art.'
North West Evening Mail
'A gripping piece of theatre with
humour, pathos, and careful observation. The Ashton Group
is a real emerging talent in the North and the partnership
with writer Peter Straughan for Cold has produced touring
theatre of real quality. '
Andrew Dixon, Chief Executive, Northern Arts
