A workshop performance of a new play by Melanie Alexander about the life and works of Dirk Larchmont, a playwright best known for writing complex roles for women

Just like Kate Bush, The Land Before Time, and whatever millennials feel nostalgic about on TikTok, Larchmont's works have seen a recent surge in popularity.

From semi-obscurity to the prestige of our backyard, Dirk Larchmont lives.

This play festival breathes new life into scenes and monologues from his prolific, decades spanning oeuvre.

Join us in the fresh air, under the stars, just like Shakespeare did it, minus the plague.

We'll have wine and refreshments.

This event is free but donations are gratefully accepted.
