20 Stories High presents… ‘BLACK’ By Keith Saha

Wed 17 October 2018

20 stories high image

19:00 – 21:00

Fairfield Youth and Community Centre, Victoria Park Road, Fairfield, Buxton, SK17 7PE

TICKETS HERE!

Nikki doesn’t think that her Dad is a racist, he just cares deeply about his community.

But when a Zimbabwean family move in over the road, the dog won’t stop barking, the local kids start lobbing stones, and her Dad starts laying down the law.

This provocative and engaging show from 20 Stories High digs deep at the heart of racial tensions in the UK today.

Written by award winning writer Keith Saha, with lyricism and live DJ soundscapes from Chunky (Riot Jazz /Hoya Hoya) and the raw talent of Abby Melia – this is a vital and challenging piece of theatre.

“SAHA’S PLAY IS SHARP, FUNNY AND HONEST. HE PROVIDES NO EASY SOLUTIONS YET DOES ALLOW A GLINT OF HOPE AS TO THE FUTURE.” Paul Foley, Morning Star

New Mills Community Altar Frontal

Join us to celebrate the wonderful textile art work of Project eARTh participants , working with artist Amanda Whewell. Thursday 26th July, 11am, St George’s Church, New Mills.

Together Through Art Celebration 4th July

We  enjoyed celebrating  the inspiring work done by elderly participants of a new project – a partnership between High Peak Community Arts and New Mills and District Volunteer Centre entitled ‘Together Through Art.’ Funded by the Co-op Community Fund, with a grant of £3,544.84,  the project targeted elders in the New Mills area who are isolated but who would like to get out, meet others, have fun and be creative.
