How wonderful to be the photographer for The Med Theatre Dartmoor Shadow Puppets rehearsal. Such a lovely Theatre Company headed by Mark Beeson. I had never experienced a Shadow Puppet performance before and this dress rehearsal certainly didn’t disappoint! A JOURNEY, told through SHADOWS, inspired by DARTMOOR… The Walk shadow play has been adapted from a narrative poem by Dartmoor poet and playwright Mark Beeson. A solitary Dartmoor dweller is whisked away one night by a storm outside. In Wistman’s Woods he meets a stranger who offers to take him on a special journey; a journey that will lead him through the rivers, rocks and ruins of his memories and dreams. And one memory in particular will not leave him alone… For intergenerational audiences (aged 8+) and for lovers of poetry, puppetry and Dartmoor’s remarkable landscape. The remaining dates are:
Saturday 9th May: Belstone Village Hall
Friday 15th May: The Nicholls Hall, Lydford
Thursday 21st May: St Lawrence Chapel, Ashburton
