Well, another Halloween passes and we at hard graft are as chuffed as punch with the massive turnout once again. We have been producing innovative walks at halloween since 2012 in Oldham, Uppermill, Burnley and now in our home town of Rawtenstall.
What we love are the faces of the audience when we deliver the history of their streets, they had no idea about. Stories of witches, madmen or murders. People always ask ' Are they true'? And we always say, if you believe, then yes. We research online, in libraries and get lots and lots of stories from the public, in fact the majority of our stories are your stories retold by our award winning team.
As a theatre company we feel it is our job to entertain at times like Halloween, who else has the access to professional storytellers, writers and producers. Halloween walks are part of a community development scheme to get everyone to enjoy theatre without even knowing they were part of it.
Stories are the most important part of human existence and being scared, safely, is a normal healthy part of living.
