Sights at the end of the tunnel...

Date published: 27 July 2011


OLDHAM Coliseum’s youth groups are preparing to whisk their audience back in time.

DigiLAB and Theatre LAB have worked in collaboration with award-winning writer Rob Johnson and innovative design team Imitating The Dog to create a participatory performance called “Tunnel Visions”.

The unique production will transform an atmospheric, undeveloped mill space using new technologies and clever scripts.

Audiences will take a seat on board a train carriage and travel around the space, encountering everything from dinosaurs to Suffragettes and sci-fi.

Writer Rob Johnston recently won the King’s Cross Award for New Writing.

Imitating The Dog previously collaborated with the Coliseum on critically-acclaimed “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, which is currently touring the country.

Performances take place at Earl Mill Arts Centre, off Ashton Road, in 30-minute slots.

Tickets are limited and must be booked in advance: info at www.coliseum.org.uk.
