Doin’ a Runner
devised and performed by Barrow Deaf Drama Group

Welcome to the world of physical theatre and visual gags. In 2000 Barrow Deaf Drama group delighted audiences in Barrow with their entirely wordless slapstick comedy Dangerous Business.
Now they’re back with a new silent-movie style show in which a group of elderly pensioners go on a mini-bus trip and chaos follows them. Doin a Runner involves, among other things, an accidental bank robbery, stolen police horses and the worst care-workers in the North West.

Space
devised and performed by Ormsgill Young People's Drama Group

Ormsgill Young Peoples Drama Group had the audience crying with laughter when they performed their play Neighbears as part of the Barramundi Festival. Although there have been many changes within the group, what hasn’t changed is their down to earth humour and vivid imaginations. Space has been devised for the True North Festival and was very well received when it showcased in 2000.
Everything starts to happen when dad goes away contracting and Mam turns her Ormsgill council house into a bed and breakfast with hilarious results . . . alien sightings, disco fever and a visit from MI5 (or was it MFI?)
