A Village Life

Toby and Jessica want a different life for their children, away from the carbon monoxide and blade-carrying gangs of the capital. They dream of moving to the idyllic village Toby remembers from childhood holidays with his Grandma. But when Toby meets a girl with a gun in his new front garden he realises there's more to village life than he'd imagined! A serious comedy by Mary Cooper "A Village Life" takes a hard penetrating look at rural life in Northumberland today.

The Ludus Youth Dance Company

These young and talented dancers are auditioned annually, many from the thirteen youth dance groups that Ludus run across the county of Lancashire. They create new work as they rehearse, alongside Ludus Dance artists and resident choreographers. They also have the opportunity through intensive rehearsal when the company works with visiting choreographers, to make new and exciting dance pieces, some of which they will present at these two performances.
