Theatre on the Move was a phenomenal success.
Directed by Saskia Verton-Smith and John Surman, and written by three local playwrights Tricia De Voysey, Rosie Godfrey and Hayley Graham, the four short plays set in four stunning locations, proved to be a big hit with the audiences. The feedback has been fantastic. Many people turned up not sure what to expect, but at the end of the evening came back elated and buzzing. We were very fortunate that the rain stayed away, particularly after so much over the past few weeks. Locations will soon be sought for next year’s event – it is certainly something that we want to build on. Theatre on the Move was a series of short original plays in different atmospheric outdoor locations in Swimbridge. These included a magical lake, sinister lime kilns, a Church and an old watermill. All of which set the scenes for four very different productions. Groups were led by some eccentric hosts who entertained and informed the walkers along the route.
Feedback has included: “What a fabulous evening, we really enjoyed the whole event. Well done to you and all involved.” “The hosts were great and very entertaining as they guided us around - it really was a unique event!” “Thanks very much for a brilliant evening.” “We really enjoyed the Theatre on the Move last night - well done to everyone!” It has even had some members of the audience phoning into Radio Devon!
The event was entirely organised and supported by 120 volunteers from the Parish who took part and helped behind the scenes, and it received generous support from local businesses. Our thanks to you all – it couldn’t have happened without you. The event raised over £1,000 towards the Jubilee Hall Improvement Scheme.
