Night Three - Friday 20th February

Funny Ways
devised by Thomas Gawne, Jenna Fleet and Jane Forsyth from CD-UK performed by True North Theatre Company

Out of a series of taster workshops with trainees on CD-UK’s life-skills course, emerged a small group who wanted to go that little bit further and make a play.
Funny Ways is the result. The piece, based on real experiences, is a light-hearted and touching story about the relationship between a stroppy teenager and her granddad.

Meat
devised and performed by True North Theatre Company

What do you get if you put a group of adults aged between 23 and 60+ in a room together, let them play drama games and give them a few photographs? The answer is Meat, a farcical comedy set in 1950’s Barrow. TNT, the True North Theatre group have devised and scripted this new play especially for the festival.
Mary’s the first woman in Hindpool to get a fridge, but her old man’s got his dead whippet stuck in the ice-box. He must defrost it before he’s discovered! Meanwhile he’ll have to find somewhere for next door neighbour Mrs Rawlinson’s massive joint of wedding beef . . . oooh errr!!
