What were you like as a child? Did you ever battle with a conker on a string? Or tell wildly extravagant stories? Featuring an exciting blend of storytelling from Coal in the Garden, a documentary video of memories from York's elderly residents, and a brand new devised performance from youngsters across the city. Memories of Coal is a cross-generational community project that theatrically examines how perceptions of childhood have changed throughout the years, and asks what exactly is different for children growing up today?
