The Worm Collector - Touring TIE

Here's a screenshot of the description for 'The Worm Collector' on the West Yorkshire Playhouse website. (http://www.wyp.org.uk/)

At the top it states that the director is Gail McIntyre, who came into school to talk to us last Tuesday. Gail had brought in leaflets about this piece and told us a little about the lead role.

In the second paragraph is briefly saying what the play is about. There's probably some way that schools could contact the playhouse to find out more.

Underneath, there's 'examples of school work from the previous tour.' This could also provide extra information for schools.
Reviews
I found a good review here; http://www.thepublicreviews.com/the-worm-collector-west-yorkshire-playhouse/

The play itself is described as, 'A medley of comedy, sincerity and tragedy.'
It 'combines all the elements of good theatre.'
Nothing here is said about the acting though. Maybe there were very few actors as it is a TIE piece.

The set was described as, 'Simple and effective.'
It mentions that the minimal use of props was useful for focusing the audiences attention on the character of Mark.
A 'video design' was used. I think this means a video was projected behind, but I'm not sure.
