Jude Merrill, Travelling Light’s Artistic Producer, said: ‘We’re about creating work for young people, and Show Of Strength is about working with writers. I thought it would be a good idea to combine our strengths -and it’s proved to be a really exciting project.’
Sheila Hannon, Show Of Strength’s Creative Producer, said: ‘The Create Centre has some fascinating spaces and our writers have come up with some great stories to go in them. We think audiences will have a wonderful day out.’
Writers range from Mark Ravenhill, whose adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s NATION is at the National Theatre, to work by first time and young writers. Their brief was CELEBRATION, and they’ve interpreted it in a huge variety of ways, with stories about pirates, vegetables, aliens – and a whole lot more.
