This is truly about creative experience. We often don’t have time to play as adults…this is simply creating theatre in domestic settings with local community, for fun, entertainment and creative expression.

past (and first ever!) theatre-on-the-hill event:

Our first script-in-hand production ,

‘twelfth night - abridged, with songs ’

on may 3rd was a great success!

What we did: Put on an abridged version (50 min)of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in my garden here in Gare Hill, woodlands as a backdrop, with scripts in hand, using all the skills and talent from the local community. Think comedy acting, shipwrecked sailors, woodland fairies, singing servants and a story line to keep you on your toes!

How did we do it? We chose a script. We cast and re-cast, we added scenes and songs and made it fit the richness of the community that came forward. Now we want to share it ! Scripts were sent out, and then at 9 am on May 3rd we gathered, rehearsed, had lunch, created the set, and in the evening performed!

We all contributed to make it a community experience, audience alike - bringing food, wine, firewood, props and costumes - all in a very relaxed enjoyable way. 

We are already thinking about next year and this new annual event, if you’d like to register an interest please get in touch

This is a connecting & collective experience that is inclusive and available to all. If you are in a position to offer something I have put a link below to my son’s Go Fund Me page, we would so appreciate it being towards this - thank you!

If you’d be involved in future fun theatrical adventures, or have any feedback or questions, just get in touch.

We look forward to seeing you!
