Spit Nolan

We’re on the road with Spit Nolan based on the short story by Bill Naughton, which will tour nationally to schools from April 2012. Come back in time and join the gang, build your kart, race down Cemetery Brew…

‘Spit Nolan was a pal of mine. He was a thin lad with a bony face that was always pale, except for two rosy spots on his cheekbones. He had quick brown eyes, short, wiry hair, rather stooped shoulders and we all knew that he only had one lung.’

Set in post-war England, this is a coming of age story about Spit Nolan and the Cotton Pocket Gang hurtling towards victory on the biggest day of their lives through this tale of love, rivalry and loss.

“Brilliant! A quality experience enjoyed and engaged with by all, across the ability range.”

Interplay uses the power of performance and live theatre to place the audience at the centre of the experience, pushing boundaries by exploring darker themes and storylines.

This sensory approach is crucial to our work with PMLD, SLD and sensory impaired young people as well as mainstream family audiences in venues and theatres around the country. Spit Nolan explores themes that compliment the National Primary Curriculum, such as literacy and history, as well as giving students opportunities to role-play, exploring relationships and teamwork.

The show will be augmented with extended digital materials available online, enabling the experience to have increased impact and engagement before and after the live performance.

Spit Nolan will be on tour to schools and venues in Spring 2012 and is available to book now.
