A small group of actor/workshop leaders will collect the stories and construct them into a short piece of theatre performed by the actors/workshop leaders.

A performance will be given for all involved to hear their stories and share them with family, friends and neighbours at the Tristan Bates Theatre at the Actors Centre in Covent Garden.

It is hoped that this pilot project will be the first phase of an extended project which will develop over 2010 – 2012.

We will be gathering stories through visiting tea dances in October and November, culminating in an informal performance on December 15th, 2009. The project will develop as part of Camden’s Hidden Histories project.

The project will particularly focus on older people to help preserve the history of the local community through the words of those who have lived and experienced it.
