The Worm Collector - T01996932721Mark has been making a film, armed with a digital camera, an arsenal of willing family members and an unusual subject matter. Mark wants to know who has the best scar, even the tiny ones count because its not just about size but about how you get them that determines whether you’re a winner or not. But sometimes it’s the scars we can’t see that leave the most damage, and victory may come with a very high price. Innovative filmed sequences and a powerful live performance bring to life a story that manages to be funny, heartfelt and heartbreaking at the same time. With a shocking twist in the tale, The Worm Collector burrows into the head of a teenage boy who makes the simple mistake of taking matters into his own hands. The Worm Collector was supported by The Royal Armouries, Education Leeds and The Home Office Community Fund.Producer West Yorkshire Playhouse Touring Company. Author J.C. Marshall.

Synagogues were set ablaze, Jewish shops destroyed and ransacked, Jews deported to concentration camps.
