Site specific landscape theatre on the tinners coast which has, until recently, been mined since the bronze age and is now silent. Stunning cliff face where the weather rages and did for nearly every performance. The story dealt with the consequences of tampering with nature and was a homage to the people who had given their lives to the workings of the mine. The last working mine in Cornwall closed during the production. The audiences, undeterred by rain, fog and wind, clung to the cliff edge and were moved by the miner brought to life from underground. We worked with volunteers and further developed the training potential of this work.
