I MUST comment on the Home And Far Away production at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre.
It was a wonderful show which harnessed the abilities of able and disabled young people in an imaginative production about the experiences of evacuees from Hull at the start of the Second World War.
It featured many excellent renderings of favourite songs of the period. This is the first time Stagecoach and PACT have mounted a full production including young people of all ability levels. In my view it succeeded to a high degree and it was clear that the young people thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
For those of us who have long memories the evening was packed with nostalgia.
And, for those who like to see young people doing well and enjoying themselves, it was a real buzz.
