'Tin Can Lurky' is a piece of theatre produced to celebrate the last 100 years of our regional heritage. This piece was just one part of a much greater project, the (W)rites of Passage project which was almost three years in the making.

The integral part of (W)rites of Passage was the interviewing by Wren and a wonderful team of volunteers of many of the oldest residents in the region. Personal histories and cherished memories were collected and painstakingly transcribed for the various facets of the project. Outcomes included 'Wheels of Change , a book and CD rom containing much of the work, an exhibition available to tour regional libraries throughout South Cumbria and Lancashire, workshops for schools, and of course Tin Can Lurky the play.

Tin Can Lurky directed by Wren and was produced from three sources: the transcripts, the winning entries in our 'Playframe' competition, and the work devised expertise of our acting team..
