Pot of Hijinx gold at Campws Gartholwg
|
Hijinx Theatre will be performing Chasing Rainbows by Glenys Evans, their spring show for adults with learning disabilities and the community, at Campws Gartholwg on Wednesday 24th June at 7pm.
Believe me, there is so much to laugh at, to learn and be moved by, in this warm-hearted little gem. It is deserving of the widest possible audience.
Jon Holliday,The Stage
Based on some of the writers’ experiences as a lecturer at the College of Further Education in Barry (where she teaches people with learning disabilities), Chasing Rainbows is the story of Hayley – chosen as the face of inclusion – who is off to London to read her poem at a big conference. On her journey, Hayley meets a pompous politician, loses her support worker and makes a new friend in the figure of Kit, a homeless street musician. A rollercoaster journey ensues as we see Hayley finding herself ‘included’ with somebody who is more excluded that she has ever been. As real life collides with theory and box ticking, what has Hayley learnt about choices and inclusion?
Hijinx Theatre are renowned for their productions for people with learning disabilities and the community and are thrilled to be working with Glenys Evans on her latest piece for this audience. Hijinx and Glenys have worked together on many projects, the most recent being the highly successful tour of Full Circle in the spring of 2008.
Busy London can be overwhelming for many people at times, so imagine being lost and with the added vulnerability of having a learning difficulty… This is a wonderful production by Hijinx Theatre with a very talented cast.
