Venture Theatre - Ashby de la Zouch

It's good to see that at least some 'little theatres' and their ilk continue to exist in some communities across the UK. I had the pleasure of giving a performative talk here at the Venture Theatre in Ashby de la Zouch before the first public community reading of the new audio drama 'The Winter Garden' by Matthew Pegg.

The theatre is tiny, cosy, and welcoming with a bar in the auditorium itself.

I hereby 'big up' Venture Theatre and the dedicated group that help run it for, in and with the community it sits in!

Or start from anywhere on the trail - your choice!

Rapture : Sheffield Place from Invigilator Derby

RAPTURE

beneath gloomy hills

homeward I walk

in solitude

sometimes we play

on the way home from school

on Wincobank Hill

breaking into gangs

to throw stones at each other

off Newman Road

in the half-built houses

it’s hide and seek

up and down ladders

scaffold pole javelins

a happy time

for me a time of rapture

clear and loud
