Rosie knows that her questions are dangerous.
Aunty will hang them out like dead moles on the back fence.
The stench will turn milk sour.
TOWN is the moving tale of a daughter's quest, helped by a stranger and the magic of the town’s annual Festival. Dragons on bicycles, devils playing guitars and ‘a bit of magic after all these years’ are part of the glittering backdrop.
‘Alan Bennett would have enjoyed it.’
‘Lively, bawdy, a verbal Beryl Cook fleshes out the secret worlds pulsing under the surface of an ordinary county town.’
‘Tremendous performance of great narrative and immediate imagery. A triumph.’
Joy Winkler performs her innovative verse/drama with live music accompaniment composed and played by Andrew Rudd. Both former Cheshire Poets Laureate, Joy and Andrew toured recently with the groundbreaking shows 'Bunch of Fives' and 'Fourpenny Circus'.
Film backdrop produced by Ian Coppack features additional artwork by Carl Longmate and Karen Rossart. TOWN was directed by Kevin Dyer and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
‘TOWN expresses everyone’s inner desire to discover who they truly are.’
Price: £5.00
