A new touring play that examines rural life in Northumberland is visiting Stakeford next week.
'A Village Life', commissioned by Northumberland Theatre Company, is described as a serious comedy set in the fictional village of Aldale , which is preparing for a Best Village contest.
The play was written by West Yorkshire-based playwright Mary Cooper, who visited the county while researching the play and spoke to locals about the issues that affected them, including high house prices, the loss of local services and venues, and disputes over the use of land.
The play is at Stakeford Methodist Church at 7.30pm on Monday 8th March. Visit www.northumberlandtheatre.co.uk/ for more details and for other venues.
Today marks a special day on the North East calendar as we celebrate the life of the patron saint of Northumberland, St Cuthbert.
Often regarded as the most popular saint of medieval times and one of the most important, March 20 sees people celebrate the anniversary of the death of the region's own patron saint.
