house and Frozen Light in association with New Wolsey Theatre present Tunnels.
On Friday 24 and Saturday 25 January 2014, the New Wolsey Theatre will present Frozen Light’s Tunnels. This theatre production takes the audience on an interactive and multi-sensory journey through the tunnels of light
Co-created by artistic directors Amber Onat Gregory and Lucy Garland the cast utilises the talents of Al Watts who has created the original score for this production.
Lucy Garland: ‘In the last year we have received so much support from house, The New Wolsey and the Arts Council England, enabling us to create a high quality theatre production that we can take to audiences in professional theatre venues for an audience who do not usually have access to the theatre.’
Amber Onat Gregory: ‘This national tour is giving families the opportunity to come to the theatre together for a show that the whole family can enjoy together but which is also appropriate for a teenager with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities.’
Tunnels is an exciting adventure where Lana searches for the light that has mysteriously disappeared from her city. Leaving the place that she calls home, Lana travels deep below the city into an underground world filled with music, smells and curious characters.
Sarah Holmes from the New Wolsey Theatre: “We are so extremely pleased to be working with two very exciting young theatre makers, following their success in school environments. We have been working with them to turn their work into a theatre show, created specifically for an audience with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities, and it is an enchanting and well-targeted gorgeous piece of theatre. New Wolsey Theatre is dedicated to making theatre as accessible as possible for all, and this production extends this offer even more. It’s a pleasure to open our Spring season with such a creative and important project that we are proud to be involved in.
Performances are at 10.30am and 1.30pm on Friday 24 January, and 11am and 2pm on Saturday 25 January. Please contact a Ticket Sales Assistant on 01473 295900 to book for this production.
