Peter Ward is chuffed to bits to introduce That Theatre Group, which creates work with and for older people living in care.

This furthers the work he produced for Nwoko Arts over the last two years resulting in Songs for Europe & Spring into Summer.

That Theatre Group is currently supporting Graeme Phillips' revival of Krapp's Last Tape at unity theatre.

Please like, share and show your support for That Theatre Group which provides meaningful engagement and joy to some of the most vulnerable and lonely people in our society.

Thank you... He looks forward to seeing you for a bit of Krapp at the Unity next week!

If you came to see our final production, you'll remember this video... they all sang live on stage to the backdrop of this video, definitely one of our highlights of the show!
Climate Change is Rubbish, still alive with the sound of... well, music video!

Our final production was a political satire, 'Climate Change is Rubbish'. Directed by EggPeople, we created a 'fake' political party that believed in acceler...

Since selling on eBay, giving on Freecyle and donating to ex-Hope Streeters and charities we've shifted so much stuff that the clearance company will now only charge £800. Good, eh? We still have good stuff to give away for nowt: tables, stationery, coffee makers, picture frames, kitchen rolls, book shelves. Drop by today or tomorrow 11-4 to collect.
