Countryboy’s Struggle Retour
Its autumn and the 70 date retour of Countryboy Struggle has started. Working with Contact Theatre in Manchester, Maxwell Golden has kicked off the tour in Lancashire and Wales working with Young Promoter Groups. In addition to the show Maxwell is also running workshops and here are a few comments from those taking part when asked what they enjoyed..."My favourite part was when we did rapping and beatboxing in a group", "how to act with the whole body", "different ways of talking though the throat, chest and stomach", "that when you breathe in you can exhale out too" and the "the session was awesome".

The Spring tour began last week with dates in Northumberland and Cumbria! We just received some lovely feedback from Barbara Slack, Highlights saying,
“Everyone loved the shows and the workshops. Your visit made a big impact with young people in all the places you visited.”
Great start to the New Year!

Glad to hear that young people in rural venues are getting such a great experience. If any venues want to follow up on the success of Country Boy’s Struggle with their young audiences, KSP is touring a new play developed with young people in rural communities in partnership with Cheshire’s Rural Touring Arts and Action Transport Theatre and we are looking for venues now. Get in touch and have a chat.

Thanks Karen, this is a fledgling network of young promoters and if we can build on it with more shows that would be fantastic!
