Theatre trip

1:52pm Wednesday 14th May 2008


RECENTLY some friends and myself visited the Artrix Theatre, Bromsgrove, to see Us and Our Education' performed by adults with learning difficulties.

The show brought home the problems faced by people with learning difficulties when they wish to enter into the workplace (mainly due to the immense paperwork involved) The purpose of my writing is simply to say how emotional, funny and very rewarding we found the show. Congratulations to all involved on a great night, and a special well done to Cyril Meacham on his wonderful performance and great guitar playing!

It was also good to hear that Bromsgrove District council support this even.

My first and certainly not my last trip to the Artrix. Congrats and well done everyone.
