One of Coronation Street’s newest stars will be
swapping the cobbles for ARC’s stage next week when he performs in a new show
by England’s
largest professional learning-disabled theatre company.
Liam Barstow is a
resident artist of Mind the Gap theatre who are bringing their new show Contained
to ARC next week and he will be performing as part of the collective
cast who are all learning disabled actors.

Liam, who has Down’s
syndrome, has recently been cast as Cathy Matthews’ nephew Alex in the UK’s longest running soap.
He has already won over viewers since appearing in the soap earlier this month
over a few episodes as part of a story line that sees his aunt embark on a
friendship with Roy Cropper.
He will now take to the
stage as ARC to perform in Contained. It is a show about nine interwoven true stories from the cast about family
and friendships, love and loss, and the small moments in life that suddenly
become meaningful.
The show
features live performance, film, photography, music and dance in a dynamic and
exciting new form of theatre. It explores those moments that teach us about
ourselves and the world that we live in.
Tickets:
Contained will
be at Stockton ARC Wednesday
21 October at 7pm and Thursday 22 October at 1.15pm and is a Pay
What You Decide show.
