Deepwaterhull becomes a play! |
|
‘Every Time it Rains’, a new play about the 2007 floods and its effect on local people, opens at Hull Truck Theatre on June 18th and runs until July 4th. Rupert Creed, a member of the deepwaterhull team has based a lot of the play on stories gathered through the project. He said ‘the fantastic range and quality of stories gathered as part of the deepwaterhull project, has given me the opportunity to write a play which authentically and acurately portrays what happened during the floods and the aftermath’.
