ROSSENDALE-based Horse and Bamboo Theatre has been hand-picked to take centre stage at London's prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum.

Photographs and masks from the Company's award winning production In The Shadow Of Trees are currently on display as part of a major exhibition dedicated to British Theatre design.

Artistic director, Bob Frith said: "To have our work at the forefront of such a prestigious exhibition is a great honour, especially as the company looks to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

"I am extremely proud that a company based in Rossendale in 1978 is now part of a major national exhibition which is attracting worldwide attention."
