Until the Cow Comes Home

2018

Funder: Children in Need, Carlisle City Council

Artform: Theatre

Participants: Prism Arts Youth Theatre

Until the Cow Comes Home is a magical story based on the real-life adventures of a herd of cows that were swept away in the Cumbrian floods of 2015, one of which survived a 20 mile journey down the River Eden.

Inspired by this story, Prism Arts Youth Theatre devised a stunning visual piece of outdoor theatre using puppetry, music and dance. It was performed in the grounds of Carlisle Cathedral as part of the Carlisle Fringe Festival.
