An exciting and innovative theatre production, which will be the biggest community arts project ever staged in Tamworth, is looking for people of all ages, talents and abilities to get involved.

The Wall is a contemporary re-imagining of the Pink Floyd rock opus. It is being staged at Tamworth Assembly Rooms in June by Arts Connects and Fired Up Theatre, by kind permission of Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Mark Fenwick Management.

Using Pink Floyd’s classic music, with a new narrative brought bang up to date by Simon Quinn, The Wall is set on a fictitious housing estate somewhere in the West Midlands and explores contemporary themes including anti-social behaviour unemployment, social deprivation, peer pressure and racism.

Fired Up Theatre and Arts Connects are now calling on people with any kind of talent to get involved with The Wall, either on stage or behind the scenes. Skills which are being sought include acting, mime, storytelling, dance, poetry, rapping, graffiti art, puppetry, music, stage fighting, film, projection, costumes, set design and props.

Anyone who is interested in getting involved or who would like to know more is invited to the launch event at Tamworth Assembly Rooms on Saturday January 28 from 10am to 3pm. There will be a series of workshops in the morning and auditions in the afternoon. More information can also be obtained by calling 01827 709581.

The performance dates for The Wall are June 5,6,7,and 8.
