THE PROJECT - ALLOTMENT
A world premiere (2011), in co-production with ASSEMBLY, by Scottish writer Jules Horne, ALLOTMENT follows the complex and quirky relationship between sisters Dora and Maddy as they live out the seasons on their allotment, playing out their rivalries among the plants, and when the unexpected rocks their uneasy balance, it’s time to do something radical…
Do flowers matter as much as vegetables? The dark comedy is also a celebration of gardening, with the actresses digging, planting and performing on top of a shed. With changeable weather constantly shifting the nature of the allotment, ALLOTMENT is a feast for the senses - a tale of life, death, Pink Fir Apple potatoes and the secret power of worms.
SUITABILITY An allotment/ outdoor space with provision for a shed (supplied) – disused site preferred although not essential.
DURATION 60 mins (including a welcoming cup of tea and homemade scone (with jam of fruit from the Artistic Director’s own allotment).
CAPACITY 50 maximum recommended (will present 3 performances per day for fee)

“Outside on an allotment we can pause, breathe the air, have a cup of tea, and allow ourselves a moment of reflection. It doesn’t always have to be about something deep or meaningful – and we’ll give them a cuppa and a scone as well” – KATE NELSON, DIRECTOR
