A new theatre project about Cockermouth, developed through local stories and creative collaboration.

​

Set one year after the 2009 floods, during the 2010 Christmas light switch-on, when rumours spread that Take That are secretly in town to perform The Flood. Through humour and everyday detail, it looks at how a small town carries on after being briefly thrust into the national spotlight.

​

The project is led by writer/producer Jamie Walsh, who grew up in Cockermouth, and is developed in partnership with Everywhere Everything Everyone CIC, Theatre by the Lake and Kirkgate Arts.
