CELEBRATING NORTH EAST TALENT

Yarns From Hyem is a Hooley Theatre production in partnership with Gala Durham, supported by Arts Council England and The Cultural Spring. This talent development strand was created to remove barriers to theatre and careers in the arts.

 

The plays are written, performed, produced and directed by North East artists and the production is toured to communities in the region.
