Eleanor Dennison
is touring 2 plays in repertoire with the acclaimed
Northumberland Theatre Company from 14th
August to 1st November 2008. “Country
Voices” & “These Things Do Happen” are both set in
Northumberland & follow the cultural changes in farming
from the early 1900's to the land girls of the 1930's &
40's.
Full dates & details can be found
on the NTC website:
www.ntc-touringtheatre.co.uk
Country Voices by
Stewart Howson,
nominated for the Northern Electric Awards.
A feast of stories from the
turn of the century to the First World War, some
hilarious, some tragic, breathing life into the words,
songs and stories of a Northumbrian farming family, part
of the last generation to work by hand, horse and steam,
on the land.
“A vigorously comic dip
into a grandparental world of farm workers. The struggle
for survival is never far away and neither is the wit
that made it bearable”. The Guardian.
These
Things Do Happen by Stewart Howson
An honest, affectionate and
often hilarious close up of farming life in
Northumberland in the 1930s and 1940s, narrated by a
tractor!
Visually exciting, full of energy and action, this prize
winning play is rich with period flavour, farming
anecdotes, pathos and above all laughs. 'Brimful of wit,
yet poignant too - lovingly written.' The Stage.

and a family saga on Mars. They said it couldn’t be
done. They were not entirely wrong.
VILLAINOUS ACTS Julia
Hogan
A great Victorian
reformer offers salvation to two women. But each has
her own idea of redemption…
THE PLUM TREE Paul Kelly
The Plum Tree held the key to their past and future.
But could they survive the present...?
SPLITTING Richard
MacSween
A builder s daughter
finds maternal comfort in her extra GCSE tuition
sessions; but how much can she trust in it?
FINGERTIPS Yvonne
Sewell
They’re tied by the
purest love; but Emily sees Jo turning into the
person they promised neither of them would become…
WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
Kim Wiltshire
Apparently abandoned
by her children, Corrinna revisits her old seduction
techniques, and remembers that she can usually get
what she wants.
