Pyramid Theatre Company

Today saw me go along and see a play at Audley Community Centre on the theme of bowel cancer. You probably were not expecting that but let me finish. This was held in the local community centre as part of the Health Communities Partnership. The Pyramid Theatre Company acted out a play by Pete Lawson which highlighted the seriousness of bowel cancer and the affect it has on peoples lives. It was extremely well acted and most thought provoking.

Pyramid Theatre Company (taken from www.pyramidtheatrecompany.co.uk ) was founded in 1993 as a specialist Theatre-in-Heath Education company, covering health issues in the broadest sense. The Company became a charity in 1996.

From its inception, Pyramid worked nationally, providing a unique service throughout the UK and Ireland, reaching all sections of society and all ages. Pyramid has gained an enviable reputation for the quality of its work and holds the distinction of being the only company, of its kind, to receive European funding, not once, but twice. Reports of these extensive tours have been disseminated throughout Europe and Pyramid personnel have taken an active role in European conferences on health issues. I then went along to the Darwen Library Theatre to get some shots of them in action. So thank you to them and of course the lighting man.
