A Drama Project celebrating the Workers Theatre Movement of the 1920s and 30s will come to an end this weekend at the Hope Street Theatre.
The finale shows will feature 3 Living Newspapers created by local writers, directors and actors as well as a play, “Unity”, by local writer Tom Mclennan.
One of the featured Living Newspapers has already won the Richard Wainwright Award at the Leverhulme Drama Festival and will be performed on the Saturday.
The Workers Theatre Movement delighted in creative styles and techniques which brought a welcome change from much of the stuffy theatre of its day and went on to influence many modern theatre organisations including Unity Theatre.
