Peat

The latest news. Peat has been commissioned by The Ark, and this summer Tim Crouch has been working with me as director. 

In June, a work-in-progress excerpt was shown as part of Still Loading – a mini-festival of new performances-in-progress for children, curated by The Ark’s Children’s Council. 

Peat is taking shape. A final form has been emerging this year, its story taking a solid shape. A box that represents the bog, the secrets of the ground held in its packaged objects, a story unboxed. 

Tim and I continue to work on its development this autumn. 

Written by Kate Heffernan. Directed by Tim Crouch. Showing performed by Clare Dunne and Marcus Lamb. Commissioned and produced by The Ark. Development supported by Mermaid Arts Centre.
