Yarn Bombers

Yarn Bombers: A New Comedy from the pen of Keith Burton

This autumn the Pateley Bridge Playhouse will be the staging a brand-new play ‘Yarn Bombers’, written and directed by the acclaimed Nidderdale playwright Keith Burton. This heartfelt production will captivate the audience as the cast of Pateley Bridge Dramatic Society perform with their customary verve to bring this beautiful tale to life.
In the tranquil Blue Day Room at Bleak House Care Home, three unlikely rebels are quietly plotting a revolution. Freddie, Grace, and Harriet—each renowned for their sharp wit and passion for knitting—are horrified to learn that their beloved high street haberdashery is soon to be shut down. The culprit? Mayor Amy Spry, whose ambitious plans threaten the very heart of their community. Determined not to let this happen, the trio resolves to act, armed with their needles and an unwavering spirit. Their chosen method of resistance is both inventive and defiant: Yarn Bombing.
Keith Burton says, “Yarn Bombers is a heartwarming and hilarious comedy celebrating friendship, rebellion, and the discovery that it is never too late to make a statement.”
The performances will be held in the Pateley Bridge Playhouse on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th November and then from Monday 16th to Friday 20th November starting at 7.30pm, with a single matinee performance taking place on the first Saturday at 2.30pm. All tickets will cost £15. Tickets are on sale now and bookings can be made on the website here.
