CountryBoys Struggle
by Maxwell Golden Monday 22nd April, 7.30pm Dunham On The Hill Youth Club WA6 OLX
Produced by The Contact Theatre Manchester
For tickets please email andyjones1000@tiscali.co.uk For further information about Cheshire Rural Touring Arts please call Claire Smith or Jenny Henry (Rural Arts Officers) on 01244 972835
CountryBoys Struggle has been devised in collaboration with Martin Stannage and Baba Israel. Writer/Performer Maxwell Golden says: Its about what its like living in a rural area and wanting to make urban music, then moving to the city and finding its not what you expect especially when your heart and soul is on the beaches and with the community you grew up in. Although it is performed predominantly through the aesthetic of modern UK Hip Hop theatre, the real emotion underlying the story is always of upmost importance. CountryBoys Struggle integrates music, poetry, MCing, as well as physical comedy to reflect both rural and urban environments. Contacts Artistic Director Baba Israel says: Im really excited about directing Maxwell Goldens CountryBoys Struggle. Maxwell is a fantastic artist with a background in hip hop and spoken word but also in clown and physical theatre and hes going to bring together those skills to tell a really important story about a young man and his journey. l CountryBoys Struggle is on stage at Dunham on the Hill Youth Club on Monday 22nd April. Call 01244 972835.
CountryBoys struggle is a unique debut solo show, written and performed by Maxwell Golden. The show follows an MCs journey from the cliffs of Cornwall to the streets of London. Playing over 30 characters and mixing Hip Hop, movement and comedy, this is your first chance to catch a tour-de-force performance.

These two young cats were leftin a carrier on a gentlemans doorstep. They are nine months old, and are vaccinated and neutered. Their photos do not show how lovely these two youngcats are. Dolly is a petite long haired beauty and Ted is the handsome shorthaired one. Our fosterer says: These cats have at some stage been mistreated as every time I moved my arm they jumped back as if I was going to hit them. They are now beginning to trust me and havestarted playing. Dolly and Ted are very close to each other so we would like to find them a home where they can stay together. As we do not know how they would react to young children or other animals a quiet home would be best.
