Beanfield (June-September 2010)

by Shaun McCarthy

Produced to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Battle of the Beanfield, this beautiful play looks at the human cost of the tragedy, both at the time and for us now.

Seen through the lense of a love story between Steamer, a veteran of the convoy, and Annie, the well-to-do daughter of a newspaper editor, and taking in an array of characters from policemen to English Heritage committee members, Beanfield tells an epic story with a lightness of touch.

Following its three week run at The Bikeshed Theatre in Exeter, Beanfield will be performed at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol, from 24th August - 4th September.
