Tangled up in Rome
Bridport and touring

TANGLE Theatre has a new Shakespearean production on tour this autumn, continuing this exciting company’s commitment to championing African and Caribbean actors and creatives, and presenting classic dramas in new and surprising ways. This year’s tour features Julius Caesar, coming to Bridport Arts Centre on Friday 17th October.


With a cast of five, this fast-moving production drives through the political chaos, power struggles and friendship betrayals at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest thriller.
Julius Caesar has become a tyrant. Cassius sees the threat. Brutus is torn by loyalty. Together, they conspire to kill Caesar. “It must be by his death …”


When Cassius and Brutus murder Caesar in full public view on the Ides of March, they think they have heralded a new political age. Instead, chaos erupts, and civil war begins. Who will seize power? Will this bring conflict or stability? Will the new ruler also fall to corruption?
Adapted and directed by Anna Coombs with original music, performed on stage, by John Pfumojena, who also plays Mark Antony, this high-energy production brings African-inspired storytelling into the heart of ancient Rome.


The tour starts at the Mayflower Studios in Southampton on 9th-11th October, New College, Swindon, on Wednesday 15th October, Poole Lighthouse on Thursday 16th, Corscombe village hall with Take Art on Saturday 18th, the Brewhouse at Taunton on Tuesday 21st, Braunton Academy with Devon’s Beaford Arts Rural Touring, The Exchange at Sturminster Newton with Artsreach, and Pound Arts at Corsham.

Rembering The Poor Man’s Friend
Bridport

DORSET has a remarkable and long tradition of community plays, but perhaps the most extraordinary was The Poor Man’s Friend, created in 1981 and remembered in a special event at Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday 4th October.


The Poor Man’s Friend was an epic community play produced by Ann Jellicoe’s Conway Theatre Trust. It brought together hundreds of people from across West Dorset, on stage, backstage or contributing in numerous other ways.


Written by Howard Barker and with music by Andrew Dickson, the play was rooted in the town’s history. It told the story of a local teenage boy who was hanged—by Bridport rope—for setting fire to a field of flax.


The evening will start with a screening of the BBC Arena documentary that charted the production’s development through to performance. It will be followed by a discussion with members of the original production, chaired by BAC director, Claire Tudge.


The evening will also be a chance to consider, what next? What might a community production of the 2020s look like? And how could it be made to happen?

How reggae changed the world
Chetnole and West Stafford

TORONTO-based singer-songwriter Duane Forrest will take the audience on an acoustic journey through the roots of reggae and the global influence of Bob Marley in his show, Bob Marley—How Reggae Changed the World, at two Artsreach concerts in October, at Chetnole village hall on Sunday 19th and West Stafford on Monday 20th, both at 7.30pm.


Experience acoustic renditions of legendary reggae songs that have reshaped countless lives, including Duane’s own. From the origins of reggae to Marley’s transcendent legacy, immerse yourself in the soulful melodies and transformative power of this iconic music.


The second half of the concert includes Duane’s own new work, a reggae, jazz and folk music fusion album, Adrift.


Following a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, Duane is back in the UK after an international tour.

Scoring a horror masterpiece
Dorchester

DRACULA is, by any stretch of the imagination, the most famous horror story of all. It has spawned films, plays, ballets, puppet shows … even pantomimes. But arguably the greatest reworking of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel is GW Murnau’s silent film Nosferatu, which has now been re-released with a new score by Chris Green, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors is being screened by Dorchester Arts at the Corn Exchange on Wednesday 15th October at 7.30pm.
The 1922 masterpiece is famous for its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images—it is as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema-goers more than a century ago.


Chris Green’s new score was commissioned by English Heritage for an outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live by the composer. Combined with FW Murnau’s iconic images, it makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience.


Chris Green began playing guitar at the age of eight and piano from the age of nine, and plays most things with fretted strings or keys. Largely self taught, he has worked in a variety of musical genres including folk, theatre and early music. He is a regular musician at Shakespeare’s Globe and was one of the musicians on the BBC’s Poldark.


As a composer, he adapted The Wind in the Willows (2017) for Green Matthews as well as A Christmas Carol: In Concert (2018). His 2018 first solo album, Switched-On Playford, fuses 17th-century dance music with electronica, using a blend of early instruments, synths and loops. It was described by fRoots as “bloody brilliant…. an exquisitely-rendered and endlessly satisfying piece of work.”

Hits and myths with Living Spit
Touring

WHEN two members of the comedy theatre company Living Spit are overheard bragging about how good they are, Zeus, up there on Olympus, is enraged by their hubris and decides to teach them a lesson—catch their new tour, Too Many Greek Myths, coming to Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire in October and November to see how the king of the Greek gods punishes them!
Zeus sets them a Herculean challenge—to squeeze 20 of the greatest Ancient Greek myths into one chaotic, side-splitting show!


Join Living Spit as they tackle everything from Hades to Heracles, Midas to Medusa, with their trademark blend of hare-brained humour, questionable wigs and a total disregard for historical accuracy.


Can they conquer the labyrinth of legends before time runs out? Or will the gods have the last laugh? Prepare for a mythological marathon—Living Spit style!


Warning: May contain togas, ridiculous puns and possibly an overworked Trojan Horse.
Too Many Greek Myths is at Living Spit’s home base, The Theatre Shop, Clevedon, from 29th September to 11th October, and then on tour, with Artsreach in Dorset at Swanage’s Mowlem Theatre on Monday 13th October and Halstock village hall on Wednesday 15th, at Dorchester Corn Exchange with Dorchester Arts on Tuesday 14th, the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, on Thursday 16th, the Exchange at Sturminster Newton on 17th and 18th, the Blakehay Theatre at Weston-super-Mare on 23rd to 25th, and Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatres from 27th October to 1st November. They are back in Dorset at Bridport Arts Centre on Monday 3rd November, in Wiltshire at Malmesbury Live Arts on 6th November, Pound Arts at Corsham on 7th, and the tour ends at Salisbury Arts Centre on 14th and 15th November. All these dates are of course subject to the whim of the gods …

What’s up, nurse?
Bridport

THERE is apparently a powerful connection between medicine and comedy—look at the number of doctors and other medics who have combined stand-up with their work, or moved over entirely from the operating theatre to the performing theatre. Take Georgie Carroll, a nurse who has been playing to sell-out audiences for some years and brings her latest show to Bridport’s Electric Palace on Saturday 18th October.


Nurse Georgie worked in healthcare for 20 years, but is now retired, drawing on her decades on the wards to create knock-out shows—her best-known sketch is the Three Stages of Nursing—the terms dolphin, penguin and orca used in the clip are now apparently ingrained in international nursing vernacular!


Infectious, the new show, follows her award-winning performance, Sista Flo 2.0, which she toured for three years of sold out seasons in the UK, New Zealand and Australia—if you are a bit under the weather in these troubled times, Nurse Georgie may be just the tonic you need.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow …
Lyme Regis

A TIME-travelling romantic series of novels and television adaptations, one of Scotland’s best-known actors making his Royal Shakespeare Company debut and a comedy about three school-kids might not, at first sight, have much in common. But the clue is in the heading—the Scottish play, as you have never seen it, coming to the Marine Theatre at Lyme Regis on Saturday 4th October.


Just Macbeth!, performed by Our Star Theatre Co, is a show for Shakespeare lovers and sceptics alike, for all those people who found the Bard impenetrable when they were at school, and those for whom life and the theatre without Shakespeare is unimaginable.


Journey to medieval Scotland for this introduction to the great tragedy of ambition and murderous obsession. The story of Just Macbeth! follows three school students, Andy, Danny and Lisa, as they prepare their homework presentation: an extract featuring the three witches. On reciting their lines and concocting their potion, they are transported back to medieval Scotland!


(And in case you need the riddle unpicked—the novels are the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, adapted by Starz in seven hugely popular seasons, starring Caitriona Balfe as the time-travelling heroine Claire, and Sam Heughan, who plays her 18th century Highland warrior husband and is about to take the title role as Macbeth at the RSC in Stratford on Avon.)


Ring out, handbells
Honiton

RINGERS from all over the south west will descend on Honiton’s Beehive centre on Saturday 18th October for a very special celebration, Ringing for Gold, marking the 50th anniversary of the formation of the South West Region of the Handbell Ringers of Great Britain (HRGB).
Special effects and visuals will accompany the mellow sounds of traditional handbells in this concert by the Sou’Westers Handbell Ensemble featuring 30 ringers, with more than 200 handbells and handchimes, coming from Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.


The group gets together each month in Taunton to play music that their own, smaller, teams are unable to tackle. Many of the ringers are themselves conductors or leaders of handbell teams so this is their opportunity to actually play the bells themselves.


The repertoire is wide and the selection for this concert is likely to include music by composers as varied as Henry Mancini, Dmitri Shostakovich and Snow Patrol. Pieces written specially for handbells will contrast with music from shows and films including Lord of The Rings and Aladdin, and fun pieces such as the Banana Boat Song.
The concert begins at 5.30pm.

A sci-fi classic with new music
Bridport

METROPOLIS, Fritz Lang’e 1927 black and white, silent movie classic, is being shown at Bridport Arts Centre on Friday 10th October with an exciting new live soundtrack, performed by Palooka 5, playing 1960s-tinged ‘sci-fi surf music’.


The film is not only one of the best science fiction movies and one of the finest works of the silent era, it is arguably one of the greatest films of all time, a dystopian vision of a future city where workers toil like machines underground to sustain the pleasure-seeking elite.
Freder, the wealthy son of a city master, and Maria (the iconic Brigitte Helm), spiritual leader to the workers, attempt to heal a divided society. But inventor Rotswang’s transformation of a robot into Maria’s doppelganger stirs violent revolution—and creates one of the most memorable sequences in cinema history.


Few films have such a distinctive look as Metropolis, with its Expressionist designs that combine Bauhaus, Cubist, Futurist and Art Deco influences.


And, in turn, few films have been as influential. It shaped the look of sci-fi classics from Frankenstein (1931) to Blade Runner (1982) to The Matrix (1999) as well as the work of musicians and designers including David Bowie, Beyoncé, Jeff Mills and Karl Lagerfeld.

The song of the blackbird
Ninebarrow

DORSET’s much-loved folk duo Ninebarrow are releasing a new album at the beginning of October.


The Hour of the Blackbird marks a departure for Jon Whitley and Jay LaBouchardiere, working with two choirs, Hart Voices from Hampshire and Chantry Singers from Surrey. The duo have earned a reputation over their 12 years of recording together for their engaging and empathetic songwriting, their reworking of traditional songs and their beautiful harmonies.


The new album sees Ninebarrow revisiting 13 of their songs, renewed and enhanced by the voices of sopranos, altos, tenors and bases, all directed by Roy Rashbrook, who is a member of the choir of St Paul’s Cathedral.


The songs all lent themselves perfectly to the choral style. There are eight Ninebarrow originals, two traditional songs and three covers.


The album will feature on this autumn’s Ninebarrow tour, which includes West Country dates at the Flavel Arts Centre at Dartmouth on 11th October, St James Church, Poole, on 1st November, the David Hall at South Petherton on 22nd November and St Endellion Church in Cornwall on 29th November.

Salt, sea and a supernatural singer
Lyme Regis

A REMOTE fishing community on the bleak Norfolk coast in the late 18th century is the setting for the first play by a new theatre company, making its only West Country appearance at the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, on Wednesday 29th October.


Salt, written and directed by Beau Hopkins and presented by the Great Yarmouth-based Contemporary Ritual Theatre, is a story of passion and jealousy, threaded through with folklore, religious faith and supernatural powers.


Billy, a solitary young fisherman, lives with his domineering mother Widow Pruttock in an isolated coastal community on the east Norfolk coast. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and their devotion to God. In 1770, a stranger, Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts, appears. As the young man’s obsession with her grows, his mother—believing her son bewitched—will do anything to break the spell.


Filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, Salt is a tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion. Contemporary Ritual Theatre has created a visceral new form of theatre which places ritual—ancient and modern—at the heart of its practice. Blending folklore, movement and mask work, and using only a rope on the ground for a stage, CRT unites audiences and performers in a single, unforgettable ritual.


A reviewer wrote: “Extraordinary … if Shakespeare, Ken Loach and Nick Cave went on a day trip to Great Yarmouth, Salt could be the result”

Close harmony from three countries
Villages

THREE folk singers from different countries unite in Michell, Pfeiffer and Kulesh, coming to Dorset for a three-date tour with Artsreach, the county’s rural touring charity, on Friday 3rd October to Ibberton Village Hall, Saturday 4th to the Cecil Memorial Hall at Cranborne, both at 7.30pm, and Sunday 5th at 3pm at Shipton Gorge.


The trio brings together the exciting talents and exquisite voices of award-winning songwriters Odette Michell from the UK), Karen Pfeiffer from Germany and Daria Kulesh from Russia.
Performing on guitar, bouzouki, accordion, dulcimer, shruti box, percussion, Irish flute and recorders, their three-part vocal harmonies bring to life spellbinding folk tales, expertly woven together with a vibrant international twist. Their debut album Flowers was released in 2024 to great acclaim.


Expect beautiful music that carries messages of peace and female empowerment from a folk point of view, featuring songs known and new, presented in innovative arrangements.

Live music for everyone
Dorset and beyond

BOURNEMOUTH Symphony Orchestra’s new season opens at its home venue, Poole’s Lighthouse arts centre, on Wednesday 1st October, with chief conductor Mark Wigglesworth, and guest pianist Sir Stephen Hough, in a programme that includes Rachmaninov’s 1st piano concerto, Shostakovich’s 10th symphony and The Butterfly Effect by the BSO’s partner composer, Dani Howard.


Wigglesworth, in his second season in the top role, will conduct 22 performances across the 2025-26 season, which takes the region’s major orchestra to venues in major towns and smaller centres including Bristol, Exeter, Sherborne and Taunton, and new venue this year, Plymouth Theatre Royal.


Highlights of the year include the appointment of the celebrated baritone Roderick Williams as the BSO’s artist in residence, with four appearances across the season, and star saxophonist Jess Gillam giving the UK premiere of Dani Howard’s saxophone concerto at Poole and at Bristol’s Beacon centre.


The BSO is extending its support for seven regular Community and Wellbeing Orchestras including Chard and Exeter, and the programme with Arts in Hospital at Dorset County Hospital is being extended to Dorset HealthCare sites across the county.


If you can’t get to a concert at one of the major venues, you can always enjoy the BSO on-line – the orchestra broadcasts 19 live-streamed digital concerts from Poole. And there are plenty of smaller local events with the BSO On Your Doorstep concerts continue, which take music into rural and isolated communities, in Dorset and further across the region.


And it’s not all serious—BSO Pops has become a major part of the orchestra’s work. The new season has 28 orchestral performances spanning film music favourites John Williams and Hans Zimmer and symphonic specials of music by ELO, Led Zeppelin and more.


Enyi Okpara returns for his second year as Calleva Assistant Conductor, conducting in Exeter, Barnstaple and Truro in a programme including Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with soloist Johannes Moser on 9th, 11th and 14th September. In early 2026, he joins musicians from the orchestra, BSO Resound and members of the National Open Youth Orchestra—the pioneering inclusive orchestra for 11–25-year-old disabled and non-disabled musicians—in a tour of SEND and mainstream schools.

Nine centuries of love songs
Concerts in the West

VOICE, a female vocal trio with a shared interest in early music, come to Bridport, Ilminster and Crewkerne on 24th and 25th October, on a Concerts in the West tour, with a programme that ranges from Hildegard of Bingen to contemporary.


In their 18 years together, they have built a dedicated fan-base across the world; a rich, varied repertoire of their own arrangements, new commissions, and rarely performed early music. Victoria, Clemmie, and Emily first began singing together in Oxford as members of the Oxford Girls’ Choir, before going on to form the trio in 2006 as well as forging their own successful, diverse careers.


Their interest in early music can be traced back to their performances and recordings of the medieval chants of Hildegard of Bingen, which they learned as members of Stevie Wishart’s group, Sinfonye. They still perform with Sinfonye today.


As a trio, Voice continues to perform Hildegard’s music and have commissioned new works inspired by her words and chant. The trio has toured throughout the UK, USA and Europe and released two albums: Musical Harmony (2013) and Patterns of Love (2015). Their latest album is Hildegard Portraits (2022).


The Concerts in the West tour is based on Patterns of Love, a programme of a cappella songs that explore the beauty, heartache, and humour of love. The trio’s performance spans hundreds of years, from medieval to the present day, with music from 12th century Germany by Hildegard of Bingen, 13th century France, Shakespearean song, and folksong arrangements from the UK and Ireland. It also includes special commissions and new music by British composers Marcus Davidson, Liz Dilnot Johnson, Stevie Wishart, and Ayanna Witter-Johnson.
The concerts are at Bridport Arts Centre at 11.30am on Friday 24th October, Ilminster Arts Centre that evening at 7.30pm, and the Dance House at Crewkerne on Saturday 25th at 7.30.

A partnership revived
Piddletrenthide

THE musical partnership between Leon Hunt and Jason Titley started way back in the early nineties, at some truly unforgettable late-night festival jams which, inevitably, led to the formation of a band, the ground-breaking and hugely popular ‘progressive’ bluegrass outfit, Daily Planet. Now the pair are back together and are coming to Dorset for two dates with Artsreach, including Saturday 19th October at Piddletrenthide Memorial Hall.


Numerous projects and years later, banjo-wizard Leon and virtuoso flat-pick guitarist Jason are back as a duo, making the very most of the musical chemistry they always had, but with the addition of decades of experience.


Leon Hunt has played alongside some of the world’s top musicians from several musical styles, backgrounds and disciplines for more than a decade. Jason has toured with Tim O’Brien, and played on stage with the God of Hellfire himself—Arthur Brown.


Now back together and performing on guitar, banjo, gourd banjo and percussion, these old friends will confound any preconceived ideas you may be harbouring as to what these instruments can (and should) do. Their set leans heavily on traditional music from the US and the British Isles, while their own compositions take musical references from just about everywhere else.


Catch the duo also at Hinton Martell village hall on Friday 7th October at 7.30pm and Sunday 9th at Studland village hall at 4pm.

Putting the economy on stage
Villages

IT’s the economy, stupid! The phrase that was made famous by James Carville, a political strategist for Bill Clinton, during the 1992 US presidential campaign, is the title of a new play by Worklight Theatre, coming to Dorset on a short tour with Artsreach, on Friday 10th at Buckland Newton village hall, Saturday 11th at Briantspuddle, both at 7.30pm, and Sunday 12th at Burton Bradstock at 7pm.


Based on a true story of a family caught up in the 90s recession, It’s the Economy, Stupid! reveals the heart, humour and humanity behind economics. Using paper bags, an old board game and a pinch of magic, Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells calculate how their lives were shaped by the economies they grew up in, uncover how economics wins elections, and ask why the force that dominates people’s lives is so bloody complicated!


It’s the Economy, Stupid! has been praised for making economics accessible and entertaining, while connecting a deeply personal story to the financial realities we all face today: including the housing and cost of living crises. It’s the Economy, Stupid! combines slick staging, innovative projection-mapping and magical storytelling, to reveal the true cost of low financial literacy in a money-dominated world.


Developed with and directed by Katharina Reinthaller, and produced by Worklight Theatre, this is a bold new play from the Fringe First winning creators of Labels and Fanboy. Last year the show premiered with a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe, before embarking on a national tour, which continues in 2025, before a transfer to London’s Soho Theatre.

Shiver, shake and shudder
Half-term tour

CRAIG Johnson’s Squashbox Theatre comes to Dorset in the October half term for four performances with Artsreach at Child Okeford village hall on Sunday 26th at 3pm, Milbourne St Andrew hall on Monday 27th at 2pm, the Mowlem Theatre at Swanage on Tuesday 28th at 2.30pm and Buckland Newton hall on Wednesday 29th.


Shivers & Shadows invites a young audience to be ready to shiver, shake, shudder and scream … Craig has just inherited a creepy mansion from his great Uncle Vladimir and you are invited to join him as he explores the mansion’s secrets and meets some of its spooky inhabitants.
What ghouls and spectres haunt the gloomy corridors of this old house? What are those eerie shapes moving through the dark forest outside? And what mysterious creature lurks in the cellar below?


Expect an overflowing cauldron of fun, brimming with delightful frights and hilarious horrors, bubbling with ingenious puppetry and comedy, seasoned with scary stories and tall tales, flavoured with live music and songs, loud noises and topped with a sprinkling of slapstick and silliness.

Home-grown musical
Exeter

EXETER’s Northcott Theatre has announced its first 2026 Made By Exeter Northcott production—Forever Young by Erik Gedeon is a musical play that blends big laughs, heartfelt moments and iconic songs.


The cast will include South West actors from past Northcott productions and pantoomines and the production will be the first musical play to be directed by the theatre’s creative director Martin Berry (pictured). There will be a special 20 per cent discount for residents of Devon and Cornwall for the opening performance.


For this show, which the director describes as “gloriously silly”, the theatre will be transformed into a retirement home for older actors—but this lot aren’t living out their days quietly! The cast of local favourite performers will return to belt out rock and pop anthems, reminisce about their stage days, and raise a little hell along the way.


The soundtrack will include I Will Survive, Barbie Girl, I Love Rock ’n’ Roll, Imagine, Respect and many more. Forever Young will run at the Northcott from 7th to 15th March.
Other highlights of the new season include a home-grown Jack and the Beanstalk, and The Jolly Christmas Postman, the Elevate Festival, the week-long, annual celebration of new work by south west artists, at the Barnfield Theatre in October, the Encompass community group presenting Roots of Us, a fun day of storytelling, dance, arts and crafts, and food, curated by members of Devon’s Caribbean, Hindu and Polish communities, and Devon-based, internationally renowned Richard Chappell Dance with BLOOM, a new programme which includes Challacombe Chronicled, a dance piece accompanied by original poetry by Saili Katebe celebrating the Dartmoor landscape.

What does it mean to be wild?
Broadmayne & Wootton Fitzpaine

WHAT does the word “wild” mean to you? Is it standing at the edge of a raging sea or being lifted up and spat out of a whirling tornado, running for your life through the streets or coming face to face with a wolf; the animal within that can’t always be tamed or the wilderness at the edge of your home?


Discover some exciting and unexpected answers when Black Country Touring brings a new show, Wild, to the village halls at Broadmayne on Sunday 26th October and Wootton Fitzpaine on Wednesday 29th, both at 7.30pm.


Wild explores the various meanings of “wild”—in the natural world, in our towns and cities, and within ourselves. Weaving together stories from more than 70 people, the performers create a journey of emotions from exhilarating fear to childlike joy.


Visit remote hills, mountains, dark forests and towns, and find out just how “wild” these places can be. Featuring original songs, immersive soundscapes and storytelling, this is a captivating show that will leave you wondering … what is your “Wild”?

Now you see him …
Dorchester and touring

STORIES From An Invisible Town is the latest creation from the multi-talented Welsh performer Shon Dale-Jones, who comes to Dorchester Arts at the Corn Exchange on Friday 10th October, on a national tour that also includes dates in Salisbury, Bristol, Plymouth and Bath.


First and foremost a storyteller, Shon is honest, inventive, curious and offbeat. His work combines heartfelt, funny and insightful stories. He prioritises empathy over irony and connection over confrontation. He blends storytelling, social commentary and personal reflection, challenging and asking the audience to think about contemporary life and society, using humour and wit. His gentle radicalism is both political and personal.


Stories from an Invisible Town is set in a half-imagined world in the made up town of Llangefni on the fantastic Isle of Anglesey. Moving seamlessly between comedy and deep emotion, Shon blends truth, fact, fiction and fantasy effortlessly, weaving stories that are funny and thought-provoking. His stories often dwell in the grey areas—between past and present, fact and fiction, stage and life. He’s just as interested in what’s forgotten as what’s remembered, embracing fragility as a strength.


He proves you don’t need flashy effects or elaborate sets to make powerful theatre—just a compelling story, a big heart and a bit of imagination. In a world increasingly divided by digital distractions, Shôn reminds us of the power of shared space and collective attention.
Other local dates are Friday 3rd October at Salisbury Arts Centre and 5th to 8th November at Plymouth Theatre Royal.
