Free For All in Bradford

33_captain_and_king_tom_2 We're nearing the end of our tour, and we find ourselves in Bradford!  The schools involved in this week were St Luke's, Cavendish and Fagley Primary School.  All the children did exceptionally well in preparing for the performance on Thursday 16th November.

Although we have done this show around 30+ times now, our director Dan Pollendine of the Big Intent Theatre Company still likes to make small changes to keep us regulars on our toes.  New songs, new lines, and new ways of fitting 100 children at the front of a church!

It was the most cramped we have been on the tour, but director Dan sees all these hurdles as challenges, and simply made use of the isles!  All 100 children laid down to show the middle passage horror which was extra powerful for the audience who were blocked in their seats by bodies laying around them.

If you were involved in the Bradford week in any way - please leave a comment and take a look at all the pictures we took here.
