Driving us up the Wall (1975)

Alie Street
24 Feb - 25 Feb 1975

The Half Moon Youth Theatre Workshops began in 1974. Murray Edmond and Peter Conway were employed to work with young people in youth clubs and community centres throughout Tower Hamlets. Following some work Patrick Freestone was doing with a group of young people on the Isle of Dogs, The Tiller Road Theatre Group, Murray Edmond began working with them to write a play about the relationship between the police and the youth at the time, following a real-life incident where young people from the Isle of Dogs had stolen a forklift truck.
