A new play written by Lisa Ford and the TADS cast and inspired by the stories of local people. From a downed Spitfire in 1941, to a tree protest in the 1960’s, and forward to a community rehearsing Shakespeare on the same site in the 21st Century, Kith & Cynn (Kin) explores the relationship between the village and its trees. The cast of characters we meet along the way are strangely recognisable, echoing earlier generations and other stories. They will discover the tales that live in tree roots and are found in branches. In the end, finally realising that uncovering and letting go of the past is the only way forward. This original outdoor performance is part of TADS Anniversary celebrations. Bringing live theatre to Tattenhall for 30 years!!

A joyous ending to our @performance_mst Liminal Festival last night. A diverse mix of practices being represented - 10 original performances designed to spark conversation and curiosity, from Masters students at the end of their MA journey. The 4 performances yesterday were: BattleScars by Niall Finley @nsfinley97 - One Diagnosis turns a family’s world in to chaos. A four-year old’s fight leaves him with a lifetime of scars. What’s the true cost of Childhood Cancer? The Good and Bad Party by Edmund Joseph @edmund.joseph.33 - A rave based piece that delves into identity and the value of one’s identity in a world that examines identity through hierarchy. The Soil Remembers by Lauren Greer @_i_am_lauren_g_ - Fuelled by big dreams and desires for a new life, watch as one woman sets out on a journey through a land beyond memory. She is guided, and misdirected, by the inherited stories, half-truths and forgotten folklore of her people. The passage to Home is veiled and fragmented, and this adventure comes at a cost. The Companion Piece by Lisa Ford @lisaf0rd - Living on in the shadow of her famous husband, Caitlin Thomas’ survived, bathed and dried out in the warm Sicilian sunlight. Before, her life was wild and she was reluctantly domesticated. The Companion Piece is insipired by the true story of her life before, during and after Dylan Thomas’ death. #contemporaryperformance #experimentaltheatre #laboratorytheatre #mastersdegree #liminalfestival

This chair has followed me from Wales to the big city, carrying it has been a pleasure. Today is the last day of my MA at MMU. This year has been life changing. Immensely grateful to have met some incredible people, who I am now proud to call friends. Thank you to all for your unending support. X🪡
