The Hawley Hostel Drama Group

(1989 - 1996)

The Hawley Hostel Drama Group were a great bunch of adults with learning difficulties who would meet weekly in their Barnstaple Hostel to use drama to do a whole variety of things. The group fed into a number of performances over the year, working in particular with a local youth theatre. They also produced street theatre, produced a limited edition hand made book written & photographed by the group on the life of Monet, & sometimes simply used theatre to explore the everyday tensions & problems in their lives.
