OLDHAM Coliseum’s current world premier has been made possible thanks to a £1,500 donation.
The Friends of the Coliseum provided the money towards the commissioning of “The Road to Nab End” which runs until July 10.
It was adapted from the best-selling book by William Woodruff which tells of his childhood in a poverty stricken Lancashire mill town. William left an impoverished Blackburn at the age of 16 to move to London. He studied at Oxford and Harvard and went on to be a senior academic at universities all over the world.
