On Friday 2 November 2012, Youth Arts Network High Peak came together for their second joint performance, inspired by the atmosphere of Peak Cavern and their own fevered imaginations. The show featured young people from Fairfield Dreamscheme and from Buxton Opera House’s Youth Theatre, who had worked together to set up the story. They had then taken their own sections of narrative to develop separately, before coming back together again in the final rehearsals. Meanwhile young people from College Road Children’s Home had been creating Steam Punk costumes to conjure up a futuristic, dystopian world. Others were learning stage make-up and developing the sound design.
The final results were a challenging vision of the future, not for the fainted-hearted – but those brave enough to attend left the Cavern with plenty to think about.
