The play, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wyp.org.uk\/events\/event_details.asp?event_ID=5471\" target=\"_blank\">Dust<\/a>, was cast from members of the local community, as part of the (bizarrely specific) &#8220;I love West Leeds&#8221; festival.

On the landing was a big, I&#8217;m guessing lifesize diorama of a hunter on an elephant tangling with a tiger &#8211; we were duly impressed. And then we went into the Oriental gallery, and there was an EVEN BIGGER lifesize elephant model wearing armour.<\/p>\n<p>We scooted round a few bits &amp; pieces, not hanging around too long in case boredom set in, and then headed back to meet up with Steve back at the theatre.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, a good day out.
