The daughter of a friend of ours took the part of the 8 year old girl looking after her alcoholic mother, and very well she did too.

I watched the Preston Passion and I thought it was excellent. The ideas, the choreography, the themes, the participants, the locations were all brilliant. Using the large screens with pre-prepared material, particularly the extremely moving drama with the child carer was a stroke of genius. I was a little surprised that there were not more spectators but it may have been difficult to accommodate them if there had been more. I hope it can be repeated in future years. This is an event of our time, very original and very ambitious. Well done and thank you to the organisers and participants.
