South Cumburgh Green is an urgent piece of theatre, athletically delivered to an audience of now, exploring 21st century British living. A multidisciplinary performance with an ensemble cast, the work will examine a  culture of blame: from displacement of love via the internet, to no win no fee claiming sprees, rioting students, banker’s bearing the brunt, media influence and simply just, trying to blame it all... on someone... else.

Using a cast of performers all with varied physical and verbal disciplines [all of whom can dance and deliver text] we will create a community, an average British suburb of an average British town – creating an allegory of modern life. Statistics from recent census figures will be used to create specifics of the physical and social landscape of the town and its inhabitants.

The project was previously supported by City Moves and Creative Scotland in 2013.
