Browsing the BBC News website, my attention was caught by the headline:
'Mill weaves tale of faded dreams'. I won't retell the BBC report as you can click and discover it yourself. But how wonderful does this project sound?!
The Mill: City of Dreams is a play based in the old Drummonds Mill in Bradford (UK). A huge amount of work has been done collating oral histories from generations of mill workers who came from all over the world searching for a better life. This work has formed the basis of the play..... which regrettably has now sold out :-( Needless to say I'm gutted as I'd started planning my weekend in Bradford! Sounds like they might need to think about extending its run. In the meantime, there is lots of information and photographs that you can look through on the productions
website. And there is a very good review on the
Guardian website too.
Would love to hear from any of you that see the play.........and I'll try and supress my envy!

UPDATE: Have managed to get some tickets! Going to see it on the 16th April, so I'll be reporting back after the performance. Can't wait!
