GHOSTS OF THE VORTEX XIII: Reconstruction

Audience Notes for Mametz Wood, where — during the course of this large-scale, site-specific production — you are guaranteed a vivid glimpse of our becoming through death. Check availability at the online store and if you're coming, use SatNav only as a guide. From all directions you'll end up on a single track with an uneven surface, so walk, don't run. Supported by public funding through various bodies, this is a sold-out show. Late then, I'll not make it myself but me and the lads will be there in spirit; we'll hold our absent tongues and chip in the odd chit of bone. Strictly speaking, the age guidance is 14+ though, with these things, you could always lie.
