High Peak Community Arts is embarking on a new partnership with Contact Theatre in Manchester, starting with the hosting of a show from their Rural Touring programme funded by the Arts Council. On 3rd June 2014 Contact, NRTF & Sophie Willan presented:
It was aimed at audiences young (13+) and old, preferably together – and this is what we all thought:
“It was absolutely brilliant!”
“Really, really funny!”
“I thought the writing was really profound, the performance was just hilarious…”
“I cried laughing!”
The Novice Detective 3rd June 2014 Providence Church, Mellor Road, New Mills 7.30pm, doors from 7pm Tickets £6 (£3 under 18s and over 65s, and £12 family ticket), available from High Street Books or on the door. Phone 01663 744 516 for more information.
We are keen to develop more links with Contact, as brand new, original theatre aimed at a teenage audience is rare in rural towns such as ours – so spread the word and the bigger the audience the greater the chance of more shows coming this way!
