“Pay Back” was Tangere Arts’ first youth and community show, and was created over the summer half term with 20 young people from Highfields Secondary School and Tansley Primary School with a team of professional artists.

"Pay Back” told the story of the strange forces at work.  Someone buying up the surrounding countryside, and planning to take over all the local companies…And where were those ghostly sounds coming from?  “Pay Back” was a serious and ghostly comedy, with light and sound, music, and laughter too!
