About this Event
You’re in an ironmongers shop in Britain in 1919; then, as you look around, 100 years passes by. Let Ruth Cockburn and Keith Carter take you through a century of stories; the talkie movies of the ‘20s and the video nasties of the 80’s, the start of 50’s Skiffle and the birth of 90’s Britpop, class struggles in the ‘60’s and racial tension in the ‘70’s. Playing a host of characters, from the tragic to the comical to the lyrical and the animal, their stories, sketches, songs and verse, (there’s even a prize winning competition in the interval), will have you laughing, crying and singing up to the present day.
This two-hander play takes us through the history of the last 100 years in a shop in a Lancashire town. This funny, poignant and heart-warming story will resonate with all ages and will make you think about what the next 100 years will hold for us.
Miss Nobodies, was inspired by outreach done online and inthe community of Great Harwood alongside research into local history and prominent figures of Lancashire.

No swearing or crude content. This show would speak to people that have lived through the 90’s, enjoy a laugh and are proud of where they’re from.
