Good to be at Cast Doncaster for the World Premiere of ‘Fishlake -The true story of a village underwater’. I was one of the first BBC reporters into the village on Nov 2019 when the flood devastated most of the 200 odd homes in the village after the River Don burst its banks. Highly recommended !

#Fishlake floods into #RotherhamTheatres on 28 Oct and #TheatreRoyalWakefield on 30 Oct - come join us for a full #Yorkshire night out! #theatre #wakefield #rotherham #Flood

This October, there are lots of fun activities taking place across the borough, and this includes the return of the popular Plug In & Play Festival🎮

Also, Rotherham Civic Theatre will host moving drama Fishlake🎭

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of dropping in on a rehearsal for @sheepprod.bsky.social's new play looking back at the 2019 floods in Fishlake.

Based on real stories of villagers, it's going on tour on Thursday.

Catch my preview piece tonight on ITV Calendar at 6

Fishlake – a powerful new play with live music, based on true testimonies from the 2019 floods. From the devastation of a community underwater to the resilience, humour & hope that carried them through – a story told by Yorkshire voices, for Yorkshire audiences.

They mocked us: “Clue’s in the name.”
But in 2019, 90% of Fishlake homes flooded. Families rescued by boat & tractor. Now the villagers tell their own story.
