“Performance was excellent – superb stimulus for year 8 pupils”
Fairham Community College, Nottinghamshire
“Digger” has performed and worked with over 6,000 young people from schools throughout Derbyshire, Derby, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and in 2006 Litchfield.
The programme explores the long-term use of alcohol misuse, the effects that this can have on friends and families, encourages young people to feel empowered to challenge misuse and encourage sensible drinking.
"Digger” was inspired by and created from Lin Coghlan's "Broken Angel" which David Johnston originally commissioned when artistic director at Roundabout, Nottingham Playhouse in 1995 by the Health Authorities of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and the Arts Council. “Broken Angel” was the story of two young girls and an alcoholic father – Digger.
