Up The Estate

Up The Estate logo FRONTIS for programme

So what, life's just one big struggle, is that it?'

 

'Good God no! Haven’t you been listening? Life’s the smiles inbetween. It isn’t your Mam getting into trouble and your Gramps getting angry about it – it’s when Lisa was born and we first heard her cry. It’s when I look at your Gramps and I still see that handsome lad, that charmer who went down on one knee and ended up with a muddy patch on his best trousers and an earful from his Mam...'

Produced in collaboration with Act on it Abergavenny and commissioned by Cardiff University and Communities First with funding from the Arts & Research Council, Up The Estate tells the story of Ivy and Dai Davies as they leave all they've known for a new life on the brand new housing estate overlooking their town. We follow them as their family grows and they weather all the storms life throws at them
