Vicars Crossing - A Verbatim Play.

My new original show is here! I was commissioned by the local community centre to write, direct and perform a show to Celebrate 10 years of community ownership of the VXCC.

'Vicars Crossing' is a tale of the people of Vicars Cross, as told by them and recounted in their own words. The play is directed by Keane Harrison, her first production as director since returning from Oklahoma in the USA where she studied  Directing and Dramaturgy. 

A number of local residents were interviewed about what it's like to live in Vicars Cross and how they use the Community Centre. The words of the locals were edited together to identify and highlight common themes.  

The performance features contributions from everyone interviewed (though some have chosen to appear under pseudonyms).

Amongst others, we will meet Pat the lollipop lady outside Oldfield school, Trish who runs the local food bank, Sue a local councillor, Aerobic instructor Ali, Kim who organises the local kid's fun days and Halloween trails, Arthur and Roger who run the local pub and Peter Thompson, local historian, who has lived in and contributed to life in Vicars' Cross for his whole life.
