Legends of the Rocks

Claque Theatre & Rusthall Community Arts
Performance Programme

Following in a long line of community plays produced by Claque Theatre, Legends of the Rocks was a site-specific performance in Claque’s Rusthall home – celebrating the stunning scenery of Toad Rock and its environment. The performance was ‘devised’ by the community in a series of creative workshops and then developed into a final script. Run on a limited community budget, the programme needed to be informative as well as cost-effective.

Part of a strong tradition of community plays, Parallel Lives  was produced as a promenade performance in the village church. All the actors and most of the ‘crew’ were local people, supported by a small professional team of director, writer and designer.

This five foot high banner, used prominently at all events, was created to provide a brief overview of activities and provides a talking point for potential new members.
