A photograph for 'Too Much Hassle' by Grassroots Theatre Group, Cardiff, 1986

Description

A copy of a photograph for 'Too Much Hassle' by Grassroots Theatre Group with handwritten annotations, Cardiff, 1986. The photograph shows a girl with her arms outspread, behind her another girl playing drums next to a person in shadow. Around the top of the photo is written:

“It is too much hassle going out when you don’t know what the worlds about. “Fill in this form and send it here” – “We’ll send it back cos its unclear” Its all too much hassle too much hassle.”

There is also some crossed out writing below the photograph. Rehearsals for this show, devised and written by group members, began in October 1986.

This is part of a set of Grassroots Theatre Group papers that include concept notes, working scripts, copies of photographs, descriptions and material to assist with promotion and sponsorship. Grassroots Theatre Group was organised by Charles Street Arts Foundation. They put on two shows at the Sherman Theatre, 'Too Much Hassle' on 12 November 1986 and 'Porky Pies on 10 October 1987.

In June 1977, Cardiff Community Concern started the Charles Street Carnival as a community groups' alternative celebration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. This became an annual event and grew into a separate organisation, Charles Street Arts Foundation. The Foundation came to employ artists and staff but was founded and run by volunteers. Cardiff Community Concern, also founded and run by volunteers, was an alternative advice and information centre for young people, based in 58 Charles Street.
