The original theatre play was commissioned and produced by artworcs

An audio adaptation was commissioned and produced by BBC Radio Drama

The stage play was first performed at The Number 8 Community Arts Centre, Pershore, Worcestershire on 25-26 February 2005

“…this clever and engaging play… a real coup for this fantastic new venue… it deserves to be seen by a national audience” James Iles in The Worcester Standard

Set now and in 1913, the story follows a photographer as he travels around Worcestershire. We are taken on a journey through the pictures he creates and the relationships he forms. As he learns his craft we see how this journey changes his life forever.

This is a three-handed play (1F, 2M) with two of the actors playing myriad roles. A composite set allows the action to spin fluidly from scene to scene.

The script has now been published (ISBN: 978-1-291-62773-2) and is available from from lulu, Amazon and possibly from other booksellers.
