What’s it about?
Towards the end of 2011, young actors from Gloucester Theatre Company conducted a number of oral history interviews with Barton and Tredworth people. They wanted tell their important but often unheard stories.
Their script was based on the words the contributors themselves used in their interviews. They called the play “Hidden Lives of Barton and Tredworth”.
