Skem voices to be heard in new play

0

Young people’s views on life in Skelmersdale are captured in a new play coming to the town this May.

Lancastrians features the real words of some of the 500 people interviewed by Chorley-based Junction 8 Theatre.

Among them are three boisterous 11-year-olds who dream of becoming movie stars and a young man who spent every day of his childhood wishing he could escape his hometown.

Their stories will be among those told by three actors directed by Liz Stevenson who founded Junction 8 with her brother Nick.

From the familiar to the extraordinary, Lancastrians will create a snapshot of everyday life in the county.

Stories from people living in each of the towns and cities visited will feature in the play. Liz and Nick are very proud of their Lancashire roots and produce shows inspired by and reflecting local communities.

Lancastrians ends its countywide tour at The Artz Centre in Skelmersdale from May 9-11. As the audience arrive, they will be able to enjoy some traditional Lancashire food, booked in advance at an extra cost of £7, and add their own photographs, written memories and opinions about Lancashire to the set.
