Love On The Dole from 5-9 July at Islington Mill.
A powerful and moving piece of theatre (a promenade performance) which started at Islington Mill and later took to the streets of Salford with the audience participating in a re-enactment of the 1931 Battle of Bexley Square. Amazing performance by the Salford Community Theatre, based on the book (I hesitate to say novel, as it was sadly all too true to life) by Walter Greenwood. It was a film too, in 1941, with Deborah Kerr that was banned.
Interesting to involve the audience.
