   TWO TOWNS    
 

SCRIPTED AND DIRECTED BY
KEITH GROGAN AND JAMES ROCKETT
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CAST

This play was the result of a process in which the Workshop leaders, with the help of the cast, come up with a starting point. This can be anything - a word, a colour or, in the case of 'Two Towns' - 'a girl walks into a village'! We had three diferent workshop locations in the 9-12 year group (Ferrybank, Ballybeg and Johns Park) totalling 50 Members, and we had to begin working on the play with each group separately. They didn't meet each other until two days before the public performance.

The play is set in the present and contrasts a traditional fishing community stuck in the 1940s with the consumerism and urban developments of a neighbouring town.
