The infamous 83 year old Widgeon Theatre Boat is back on the waterways touring a new production the ‘Grit of Life’ – an astonishing musical with a difference unlike those gone before. It's an historical story of the Canals both past and present portrayed through different social perspectives. The narrator weaves a tale through story and music. You will enjoy tapping feet, partaking in a quiz, listening to newly written songs by celebrated artist Rory Mcleod. Written and directed by John Knowles
