A HEARTWARMING story of friendship and risk on the road will come to Northwich’s Lion Salt Works museum this month.

End to End by female theatre company The Gramophones charts the story of three women who decide to travel from one end of Britain to the other, trusting only to their resourcefulness and the kindness of strangers.

The 18-day, 874-mile journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats involves them using as many different forms of transport as possible with a budget of only £1 a mile.

All three women share special moments along the way – encountering unusual characters, trials and tribulations and unexpected acts of kindness.

The Buxton Fringe Review described the play as ‘truly sensational’, ‘pitched perfectly’ and ‘brought to life with a real sense of energy and vibrancy’.

Cllr Louise Gittins, Cheshire West and Chester cabinet member for communities and wellbeing, said: “This is another fantastic play in the Cheshire Rural Touring Arts’ Autumn 2017 programme and it sounds every bit as good as the sold-out performances that have already been performed at the museum’s atmospheric Thompson Suite.

“This imaginative play sounds like it will leave the audience wanting to set out on their own adventure. I hope everyone enjoys it.”

The play begins at 7.30pm on Friday, September 29, lasts for 80 minutes plus a 20-minute interval, and is suitable for children aged over 10.

Admission costs £8.50 for adults and £6.50 for children aged 16 and under, and parking is free.
