Miners, Mariners and Me
A new play by The Twisting Ducks Customs House Academy
The Twisting Ducks present Miners, Mariners and Me, a new performance created and performed by local artists with a learning disability and autistic artists.
Rediscover the story of South Shields, past and present, through drama, song and dance. Join us as we journey to Roman Arbeia, take a trip down the coal mines and explore the salty chaos of the fishing industry. Along the way, we celebrate the vibrant people and iconic figures who have helped shape the town into what it is today. Funny, playful and full of heart (with a surprise visit from a wish-granting mermaid), this is South Shields as seen by the people who call it home.
