In November 1986, film maker Ann Andrews organised a week-long drama workshop for six 13 year olds from the Kelston School for the deaf. During the week, the children were coached by professional drama and music tutors. At one point, the children produce a six part symphony in percussion. The workshop concluded with the play, The Magic Park, written and acted by the students.
