Behind Closed Doors A Tear in the Frame

"Behind Closed Doors A Tear in the Frame" which tells the story of 5 families and the devastating affect alcohol has on family life.

Watch through the eyes of a stranger as five families live their everyday lives, see the choices they make, the circumstances hidden, their beliefs, their torment, heartache and courage. Go through their journeys and learn to find out their inner secrets, past and look into their future.

There are some very strong messages in this performance, so be ready to get angry, upset and feel their pain as you are inflicted to a delightful and terrifying portrayal of Real life from ‘Behind Closed Doors’

This performance is suitable for over 13 years as there are some disturbing and complex issues covered.

There will be two shows at The Fuse, Partington on 23rd February 2012 at 2pm and 7pm.

The FREE tickets are available on a first come first served basis and can be reserved by calling Natalie on 0161 776 6210 or Susie on 0161 912 5450
