Hundreds watch Grazier tribute play

A moving and powerful outdoor performance in Tamworth town centre on Tuesday paid tribute to war hero Colin Grazier - on the 70th anniversary of his death.

More than 200 people followed the cast of Colin Grazier Enigma around the town, with scenes acted out in a number of locations, showing the final days of Colin Grazier's life.

The dramatic final act was staged in St Editha's Square - under the three anchors statue which was erected in memory of Colin Grazier and his brave fellow sailors.

Colin Grazier Enigma is a brand-new work by Staffordshire Poet Laureate Mal Dewhirst. It was initiated by Tamworth Borough Council’s Arts & Events team, based at Tamworth Assembly Rooms and performed by Tamworth Theatre Company and Tamworth Contemporary Dance Company.

The production was co-directed by Mal and Simon Quinn, and set to a moody and dramatic original score composed by Jimi Dewhirst.
