Upbeat

UpBeat is a buoyant and poetic play for all ages set against the backdrop of the heritage waterways of Hardy’s country: Wessex.

Follow the story of a brother and sister as they chart the ebb and flow of their lives on a journey from youthful rebellion to adult ideals. A journey that continually pulls them back to the riverbank. A multi-skilled cast of actor-musicians use the medium of folk music and vibrant storytelling, to deliver a heart-warming, tender and witty riverbank story that will send you dancing home.

This exciting new play has been written by award-winning local playwright Deborah Gearing.
