REVIEW: "The Road to Nab End", at the Coliseum Theatre, Oldham, until July 10th. Box Office 0161 6242829. Website: www. coliseum.org.uk


I-iATS off to the Oldham Coliseum! : Philijj Goulding has crafted a moving


adaptation of William Woodruffs best selling autobiography of his Blackburn childhood, “The Road to Nab End”. Woodruffs tale is long and filled with memorable characters. Goulding and Director have managed to create a funny and poignant version.


- One actor, Kenneth Alan Taylor at his


best, plays the older William, return­ ing to Blackburn. He acts as a kind of


narrator, interpreter, chorus. Adam Barlow plays the young Billy Woodruff ■


: with an engaging charm. John Elkington


. and Lisa Howard play his mother and father, together with Frances McNamee and Jo Mouslcy as his sisters and Robin '


Simspson as his best friend, Harold, but these, together with Christopher Chillori jtlay a variety of roles., '■


, :


; An effective crowd of non-speaking 23 people add support and a sense of: :


the overcrowded, poverty-stricken mill workers. The whole production is given an extraordinaiy boost from the wonder­ ful design of Alison Hefferman, who has managed to construct a set that gives a


real feeling of the streets and mills of Blackburn.


The drama is engrossing. All the hu­


mour, the misery, the hopes and despairs of the Woodruff family are brought to life in a believable way, reinforced now and again by a touching and ironic use of music. “I’m forever blowing bubbles” will always remind me of this play. This is a world premier and we were


honoured by the presence of William Woodruffs widow and several of his ; family on the opening night. A memora-' ble book has been transformed into a re-; ally good drama, one well worth watch- { ing, to remind us all of howsome people; can overcome the worst hardships.

VAUXHALL’S new Meriva is now on sale and models have been arriving in the showroom


thisweek. It is set to turn the conventional


concept of family-car usability on it’s head with a combination of rear- hinged back doors which improve, access and a raft of cabin features


. that boost interior versatility. ■ The new Meriva is the first Vaux­


hall to feature FlexDoors, which swing open towards the back of the car at an angle of nearly 90 de­ grees. Crucially, the doors cannot be


opened by occupants while the Meriva is travelling at more than 2 mph, after which the doors auto­ matically lock. Tlie sophisticated system also


warns drivers if a door is not com­ pletely closed. New for the Meriva is a full-


length panoramic sunroof, which is standard on SE models. After its success in both the Insig­


nia and Astra ranges, a version of Vauxhall’s adaptive forward light­ ing system, will be offered as an op­ tion. The car will be offered with en­


gines ranging from 75-140PS, all of which comply with Euro5 emissions standards. The petrol engine line-up com­


prises three versions of the 16-valve 1.4-litre unit. The range starts with the Meriva’s only normally aspi­ rated engine, with a power output of loops. Completing the- petrol line-up, are two turbocharged 1.4


variants, producing either 120PS or MOPS. All engines get five-speed manual gearbo.xes, except the 1.4 Turbo MOPS, which has a 6-speed manual gearbox. The diesel line-up starts with a

Dealer introduces the all-new Vauxhall Meriva


75PS, 1.3 CDTi unit. In addition, a 1.7CDTi unit producing lOOPS. will be available, equipped with a 6- speed fully automatic gearbox. Later this year, the engine line­


up will gain two additional diesel variants. The low C02-emitting ecoFLEX model will be powered by a 95PS 1.3CDTi unit, and a second version of the 1.7CDTi will also join the range, fitted with a sLx-speed gearbox and producing 130PS. Vauxball’s new Meriva enters the


market with prices starting at just £12,995 on the road, making it a highly competitive model for buyers in the compact MPV sector. With a larger wheelbase offering


added practicality for buyers - es­ pecially those with young children - the Mcriva has shifted out of the small-MPV and into the five-seat compact-MPV class, where it’s set to raise the bar for innovation, thanks to standard features like FlexDoors and FlexSpace. And no matter what the model,


the Meriva packs a long list of gen­ erous equipment including CD 400 CD player with MP3 format and aux-in/USB, graphic information display, heated door mirrors, elec­ tric windows and electronic park brakes as standard. For further information contact
