A Derby Ditty

LIVE THEATRE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

A Derby Ditty

June 2021

Commissioned by Derby CAN, Front Door Theatre are proud to present a brand new co-created door-step show this summer.

​

A Derby Ditty  is a 10-15-minute live performance on your very own door-step. Co-created out of conversations we have had with Derby communities, in particular, Derby Carers and cared for.

​

The topic of conversation…..Derby!!!

From the Cathedral to the Eagle Market, from ‘Ey up mi Duck’ to Feste celebrations, A Derby Ditty  encompasses Derby in all its glory.


Performed by two local actor-musicians, we hope to leave you with a smile on your face and some music in your bones.

​

So don’t be mardy, grab ya kecks and stuff a cob down ya, for we could be Ditty’in on YOUR door-step soon!

​

It’ll be reet good.
