Turn in a slow circle, taking in the history that surrounds you, a timeline captured on stone beneath the watchful eyes of the owls. Between snaking wild flowers, attracting the love of insects, lies the story of the north. Meticulous in its panelling, we see the Romans, Bede and Armstrong

On the Edge of the World
You stand, bracing yourself against the elements and just stare. You know it’s not real, this sense of a barrier.

Farmland, woodland, crumbling walls… Tales of the wild fill your mind, those thoughts of wilderness that have inspired many.
The Sleep Demon
No one sees what is beneath, no one feels the exhaustion seeping through your veins. In those moments when every step is an effort, only the robin notices. He stands there, upon the bottom most rung of the fence, watching your every move.

Max Morgan's new play has had so much energy poured into the marketing of a project that there was always the fear that the play itself may fall short. This was very much not the case with Fetid.
