Wrosne - An Underground Experience has focussed on young people drawn from Dudley's Wren's Nest and Priory estates, both of which face exceptional levels of economic and social deprivation. Over a period of twelve months the Leaps & Bounds team have used their unique programme of personal intervention and development, one-to-one pastoral support, and professional quality arts activity to help around 60 young people turn around their own lives and start to change their local community.

The project culminates in late July 2008 with a week of extraordinary theatrical performances deep inside the canal tunnels and mines under the two estates.
The Show
An excited crowd waits outside a new night club hidden away in the long, dark canal tunnels of Dudley. Wild rumours circulate about what's inside - exotic drinks, celebrities, life-changing prizes. Sisters argue as they wait to get in, journalists squabble over exclusive access to the mysterious club owner, and local people grumble about the teenagers as they arrive.
Join the queue, climb on board a boat and start a journey into a club like no other. Tonight your whole life could change with just one decision - for better or worse.
Leaps & Bounds have once again created an unmissable theatrical experience. 60 teenagers from the Wren's Nest and Priory estates in Dudley have worked with theatre professionals to create a new show set deep underground in extraordinary fossil-filled historic canal tunnels. The show will be performed just 11 times and only 100 people can see each performance.
Don't miss this extraordinary theatrical experience, far below ground, in tunnels transformed for one week only into the strangest, toughest and most influential nightclub you'll ever get to visit.
