Young people at Brinkburn Youth Centre are currently developing a brand new play to commemorate the World War 1 100^th anniversary this summer.

Workshops are currently underway on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 4:30pm. Young people are invited to explore the history of the First World War and work with a local theatre practitioner to develop creative writing skills and develop a wide

 variety of set design, costume and performance skills for the premiere of the play on the 9^TH August 2014 at the Town Hall Theatre.

The play story tells of the Hartlepool bombardment on the 16^th December 1914. Through a variety of memorable characters we explore the social and personal obstacles the war is presenting and their struggles to overcome them. The play also reflects on a community who fought to protect their homes and beloved town, and how they ultimately stood strong as a community in the face of adversity.
