When the Shops Shut

By Caroline King - March 21, 2010Posted in : Theatre

Where: The Talbot Theatre at Whitchurch Leisure Centre, Whitchurch, Shropshire SY13 2BY

What is it?

When the shops are shut for good, when the shutters come down for the last time, when the final homes are bought up, what happens to communities then?  C-scape’s new show uses the company’s unique style of physical story telling to tell the tales of villages and the people who live in them.   A blend of choreography, theatre, film, music and poetry.
